Post-Menopausal

Post-Menopausal

While early adolescence and the mid to late 20's are potential problem times for women
susceptible to genetic hair loss, the menopause is an equally critical time. This is because
there is a natural reduction in the level of oestrogen (female hormone), resulting in a change
of the balance between the oestrogen and androgen (male hormone). Consequently further
hair loss is experienced or those previously unaffected by genetic hair loss during the
menstrual years become affected. Anecdotal data suggests that some current types of HRT
induce hair changes similar to those seen in genetic hair loss, although some women notice
improvements as a result of oestrogen levels being restored.
