You might be getting hot flashes or be having emotional mood swings. You might also be losing your hair. These different symptoms all add up to menopause. As devastating as all of the symptoms might be, menopause hair loss can cause the most confident woman to feel less than perfect.

First, it’s important to understand why this hair loss happens. It is actually a result of thyroid problems. Even if your thyroid has worked perfectly your entire life menopause can wreak havoc on your body overall.

You can try increasing your soy intake. Soy is known to decrease the amount of hair you lose because it regulates your body. As an added perk the isoflavones will also decrease some of the other symptoms you are experiencing. This is a good, natural alternative.

You can get started on progesterone therapy. Your doctor will need to be the one to make the call on this one. But it might be something you want to bring up to him or her. This therapy can replace the problems you are experiencing with the unbalanced hormones that lead to hair loss.

Try different hairstyles. You can go to your hairdresser and ask them to help you style in a way that will accommodate for the thinning areas. If they’ve been in business for very long at all they will have some great solutions for you. At home you can try putting your hair up different ways or experimenting with headscarves and wraps.

Another strategy has to do with your declining levels of progesterone. These levels decrease severely during menopause so you can get replacements. When you take progesterone hormone therapy it will counteract the androstenedione hormone that cause hair loss. Though the names are hard to pronounce, the results are real. Check with your doctor to see if progesterone therapy is a good option for you.

Never feel like you have to go this alone because your doctor can give you some great pointers and help to steer you in the right direction.
