A member asked:
Am post-menopausal & have started to lose my hair. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hormones: Estrogen declines more quickly in menopause than does testosterone. When estrogen declines the effects of testosterone (hair loss) become more apparent. It's frustrating. Sometimes hair loss can be related to other hormones, like thyroid, so if you haven't had your thyroid checked in awhile, that might be a good idea.
