When you think about hair loss, you probably think about men losing their hair. But unfortunately women can also lose their hair too. Hair loss in women can occur at any time in their lives just like for men, however it is not as common as male hair loss but it is more common than you probably realise.
A large majority of hair loss that is suffered by women is a direct result of the menopause. The menopause can be a stressful time for a woman and there are many changes that are going on in their body. Some women find this hard to come to terms with and understand because they feel like they are being less of a woman however the menopause happens to us all and we all have different ways of coping with it.
Some women do experience mild hair loss during the menopause and this is because of the hormone change that is taking place. The hair loss that you might experience might more severe than what other women experience but your doctor should be able to give you some advice about treating your hair loss and also treating your other menopausal symptoms. The menopause and your hair loss once you have control of it shouldn’t affect your life in a massive way.
