MENOPAUSE AND FEMALE ALOPECIA

Aging, which comes with menopause, directly affects our hair health; the hair loses the thickness and elasticity of youth, which can affect emotionally many women. Although these characteristics are commonly present throughout the head, some women may notice a particular loss of density in the crown area.

The main reason for this whirlwind of symptoms is the decrease in estrogen levels, which is the hormone that allows our hair to grow naturally, so from now on its growth cycle will be slower and the strand thinner.

During this phase, the levels of androgens, male hormones, also rise. This hormone causes miniaturization of the follicles, which makes them more fragile and their fall more frequent.

HORMONES DURING MENOPAUSE

Hormones are a determining factor for hair loss during menopause, but they are not the only ones; stress, genetic predisposition and nutritional factors can also intensify or moderate it.
