There are many things that you think won’t happen to you and hair loss might be one of them. However many women suffer with hair loss during their lifetime and it can occur at any time during your life but some of the most common times are during the menopause and during pregnancy.
The reason why you may suffer with hair loss when you are pregnant or when you are going through the menopause is because there is a lot of hormonal changes occurring in your body and your hair loss is your body’s way of responding to the changes that are taking place.
Your hair follicles may be struggling to cope with the amount of hormones that are racing around your body. You might not notice to start with, but once your hair starts to appear thin or there are bald patches developing on your scalp, now might be a good time to go to your doctor to discuss your hair loss. In some instances, your doctor may say that it is worth monitoring the situation to see if it gets any worse or better before starting on any medication. In the meantime, make sure you aren’t stressing yourself out about your hair loss.
