Menopause and Hair Loss
Summary
Are you tired of thinning hair due to menopause? Discover natural remedies that can help combat hair loss during this phase of life.
Understanding Menopause and Hair Loss
Menopause often brings with it the unwelcome side effect of hair loss, a concern for many women. As both women and men encounter thinning and bald spots, various treatments promise to revive weakened hair roots and promote healthy growth.
Causes of Hair Loss
Hair loss during menopause is influenced by hormones, genetics, and aging. Consulting a skilled dermatologist is crucial to identify the cause and determine the best treatment plan.
Temporary Causes
Hair loss can be triggered by physical or emotional stress, thyroid issues, medications, or hormonal shifts, including those involving androgens and estrogens during menopause. Hairstyles that put tension on hair, like tight weaves or braids, can also lead to permanent loss.
Autoimmune Disorders
Conditions such as Alopecia Areata cause patchy hair loss, while Alopecia Totalis leads to complete scalp hair loss, and in some cases, Alopecia Universalis results in total body hair loss. Diseases like diabetes and lupus have also been linked to hair loss.
Understanding Hair Growth
Hair naturally sheds daily, with about 90% of scalp hair growing at any time in a cycle lasting 2 to 6 years. Post-pregnancy hormone loss can lead to temporary hair shedding, typically resolving on its own.
Medication-Induced Hair Loss
Certain medications can contribute to hair loss, including anticoagulants, gout medications, chemotherapy drugs, vitamin A, birth control pills, and antidepressants.
Menstrual Cycle and Hair Health
Missed periods can be linked to hair loss due to androstenedione, a hormone causing male-pattern baldness traits. Using natural progesterone cream can reduce androstenedione levels, which may eventually restore hair growth. Patience is essential, as improvements take time.
Male Pattern Baldness
This form of hair loss is largely genetic, involving an excess of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in hair follicles. Treatments like Minoxidil (Rogaine) can slow this process and are available without a prescription. Finasteride (Propecia) is another option but is intended for men and requires time to show effectiveness.
Conclusion
While menopause-related hair loss can be daunting, effective solutions are available. Consulting with professionals and exploring viable treatments can make a difference.
