I didn’t want to touch this topic because 1) I am not a doctor and 2) there are studies on top of studies on this topic, making it quite difficult to cover in one post. Nonetheless, I was baffled by the information I discovered about this topic. According to several articles, menopause can undoubtedly affect hair growth and cause hair loss. Apparently, it can cause the hair to disappear in places you don’t necessarily want it to disappear and excessive growth in places such as your underarms….YUCK!!! The seeming culprit for this unfortunate situation can be attributed to a shift in hormones and your androgen-to-estrogen ratio. Essentially, you want more estrogen than androgen. Additionally, the articles provided some other elaborate medical terms. However, in a nutshell, menopause forces your body to go through natural changes. Since, I am not a doctor yet, I can’t provide any suggestions. Yet, some of the articles I read suggested complying with a good nutritional diet and taking daily vitamins and minerals. The good news is the average menopausal period is five years and your body will eventually resume its’ normalcy. So, hang in there. Women go through so much. Yet, I still love being a women. By the way, if you are experiencing unbearable perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms, please consult your doctor.
