One of the most common times in your life to experience hair loss is when you are pregnant or going through the menopause. This is often because there is a significant amount of change occurring and there are hormones racing around your body, which is affecting you more than you might think.
During pregnancy and the menopause, your body has more hormones than normal and sometimes your hair follicles can react to this and this in turn can lead to hair loss. It doesn’t necessarily happen to every woman whilst she is going through the menopause or whilst she is pregnant but it can happen to some.
If you are concerned about the hair loss that you are suffering with, you should go and speak to your doctor. They will be able to put your mind at rest and you will be able to understand what is happening a bit better. They can put you on medication to stimulate your hair follicles if you want, but this isn’t necessarily recommended whilst you are pregnant. You should hopefully notice that once you have given birth or you have finished going through the menopause that your hair starts to return.
