Hair Loss During Menopause

For many women, we have complete control over our hair. We choose how to wear it, style it, and keep it cut. It becomes an expression of our image and personality. Therefore, if we begin losing a lot of it, it could cause us to feel less in control, less feminine, and have lower self-esteem. It doesn’t have to be that way, though.

It isn’t uncommon for women to experience hormonal imbalance without realizing it’s occurring. The main reason is that their symptoms could be masked by prescription medications for anxiety, depression, thyroid, insomnia, and weight gain. Therefore, it’s critical for hormone levels to undergo regular checks. Women can experience hormonal imbalances as a result of genetic factors, stress their experiencing, their food choices, or how they’re exercising. As a result, they could suffer issues with their menstrual cycles, metabolism, breast abnormalities, and hair loss.

Studies indicate that women who experience hair loss feel more psychological effects, including emotional stress, in comparison to men. One such study points out that 52 percent of women were experiencing feelings of extreme distress in contrast to 27 percent of men. Another study concludes that depression could worsen as a result of hair loss.

The American Pregnancy Association states that between 40 and 50 percent of women could experience excessive hair shedding between two and four months following giving birth. The main reason for this is because, when a woman gives birth, there’s a sudden drop in estrogen, which is the hormone that offers hair loss protection.
