Hair loss can occur at any age but is most common in menopause. While women rarely become bald, about two-thirds of midlife women note thinning and some degree of baldness.
This heartbreaking side effect of menopause is not talked about by almost half of women who experience it – a bit like menopause itself – and can lead to psychological distress.
Not surprisingly, the cause of this is hormonal. Estrogen and progesterone keep the hair in the growing phase making it grow faster and stay on the head longer. When levels of these hormones decline during menopause, hair growth slows, and hair loss becomes more pronounced. At the same time, the body produces more androgens which cause the hair follicles to shrink and increase hair loss.
