A member asked:

Missed period and excessive hair loss, are they connected?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be: it is possible during perimenopausal syndrome your estrogen levels may drop and the testosterone level may not be opposed so hair loss is more common, usually the perimenopausal syndrome before menopause causes missed periods or irratic periods before it stops completely
