Hair Loss in Perimenopause & Menopause Causes, Hormones, and Treatments for Women Over 40

Hair Loss in Perimenopause & Menopause: Causes, Hormones, and Treatments for Women Over 40 Dr. Janet, a board-certified OB-GYN, explains why women over 40 may notice sudden shedding or gradual thinning during perimenopause and menopause, emphasizing that midlife hair changes are common and often multifactorial. She reviews how declining estrogen and shifts in the estrogen-to-androgen balance can affect sensitive hair follicles, while also noting other contributors like stress, illness, rapid weight loss, thyroid issues, low iron, medications, nutrition, scalp inflammation, and genetics. She contrasts female pattern hair loss (crown thinning/widening part) with telogen effluvium (sudden shedding after stressors), outlines the hair growth cycle changes that drive thinning, and discusses options such as topical minoxidil, off-label anti-androgens like spironolactone and finasteride, and other approaches including PRP and styling aids. She encourages medical evaluation, stress reduction, gentle hair practices, and early assessment for scarring conditions like frontal fibrosing alopecia. 00:00 Midlife Hair Loss Intro 00:25 Meet Dr Janet 00:56 What You'll Learn 01:39 Why Hair Changes Happen 03:07 Two Common Hair Loss Types 04:35 Hair Growth Cycle Basics 05:54 Estrogen and Shedding 06:45 Androgens DHT Sensitivity 07:43 Medical Treatment Options 09:39 Everyday Steps to Reduce Shedding 11:50 When to Get Checked ASAP 12:27 Key Takeaways and Next Steps REGISTER FOR LIVE WEBINAR WITH DR.
