Are You Experiencing Menopause And Hair Loss? This Article Can Help You By Randy Creel

Can menopause be the reason you are losing your hair? Menopause and hair loss can affect a lot of women going through menopause. If this is you I am sorry you are experiencing this in what should be the best years of your life.

If you look at all the ads about hair loss products for men you would think that women never lose their hair. But this is not the case because as much as 40% of women have hair loss at some time in their life.

Baldness is common among men but for a woman this can be devastating since hair loss is not associated with women. If you are a woman losing your hair your looks are important and baldness can have a psychological effect during this process.

So can menopause cause hair loss?

Regretfully menopause can be a common cause of women losing their hair but it doesn't happen to all women going through menopause. If this is you you're not alone because many women are in the same boat.

This doesn't seem right since your thinning hair is just a result of the aging process. Regretfully this is something you have no control over. I'm sure you would rather endure hot flashes which will eventually go away than having your hair fall out.

Since menopause and hair loss seem to go hand in hand what causes this phenomena?

A woman's thorn in the side is menopause which is something that can't be avoided and this can cause the levels of female hormones to fall resulting in female hormonal hair loss.

During this time testosterone levels can rise and a hormone called DHT can cause the hair follicles to become thin. This can cause some of them to die and can keep others from maintaining active ongoing hair growth.

So if you are in this situation what can you do:

The first step you should take is schedule an appointment with your gynecologist. If your hormone levels are not normal you will probably be prescribed hormones to take. This should bring the levels back to normal.

Taking these hormones can adjust the levels back closely to normal and can stop or slow down the hair loss.

There are some other options you should consider if taking hormones are not helping your hair loss. As you might expect these options may work better for men but also can help women.

Minoxidil is a medication that can be bought over the counter without a prescription and can be found in products like Rogaine. You simply apply it to the scalp a couple times a day and you should start noticing hair growth in three to four months.

There are no known serious side effects. The downside to this product is significant in that once you stop using it your new growth of hair will fall out again.

If you are not going to use it for life knowing the downside you may think twice before you start using this product.

Usually hair transplants don't work as well for women as they do for men. Sometimes this is because a woman's hair thins out all over the scalp so this makes it harder to find areas of thick hair to transplant in the balding spots.

Technology in this area is improving and there has been some success in women hair transplants with micro graphs.

So there you have it Minoxidil is a possibility for hair growth but as you can see it does have a big downside. Hair transplants can work for you but is only used for women in certain cases.

So how can we turn these specifics to your advantage? Read a little further and I might be able to help you with that.

As we discussed in the article menopause can bring on hormone imbalances which can cause your hair to thin or even fall out. If you are taking a product like Minoxidil and you are experiencing hair growth you certainly would like to keep it. Am I correct? I feel I have a solution for you to try. Provillus for women can give you new hair growth. Along with this comes the likelihood of keeping your new hair.
