Why do women experience hair loss during the menopause?
Almost a third of all menopausal women suffer from hair loss. In most cases, this is caused by hormonal factors. The hair follicles are genetically sensitive to the male sex hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT for short). As oestrogen levels fall during the menopause, there is an excess of male hormones in the body.
How does hair loss manifest itself in women during the menopause?
The imbalance of hormones causes the root of the hair to atrophy. As a result, it becomes thinner and falls out. Women going through the menopause are most frequently affected by hair loss on the crown, forehead and sides. If the hair thins in this area, the scalp clearly shines through. Hair loss is not uncommon even in women’s intimate areas. It is typically a chronic process in which the roots no longer produce new hair. Bald patches form. As hair loss is irreversible, you should consult a dermatologist at an early stage. These are the symptoms of hair loss in menopausal women: more hair in the drain, on the pillow and in the brush near the hairline the scalp shimmers through the hair is limp and broken the ponytail has less fullness the hair appears thinner

What can women do about hair loss in old age?
Hair loss in women over 50 is often due to hormonal changes during the menopause. It is important that you make an appointment with a dermatologist to stop the hair loss. He or she will carry out various tests to get to the bottom of the causes and recommend a suitable treatment. Shampoos, herbal preparations or dietary supplements cannot stop hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). In addition, there is currently no remedy to combat the hypersensitivity of the hair follicles. However, various medical preparations can weaken the effect of the hormone DHT on the hair root. Hormone tablets can have a positive effect on hair loss in older women. They help with severe menopausal symptoms and contain the hormones oestrogen and progesterone, which can alleviate hair loss. However, hormone replacement therapy is associated with an increased risk of thrombosis and various cancers, so you should weigh up the costs and benefits carefully.

FAQs - Frequently asked questions
What can I do about hair loss during the menopause?
In the event of hair loss during the menopause, women should consult a dermatologist who will discuss the causes and suitable treatment options with them. Products containing the active ingredient minoxidil can halt the progression of hormone-induced hair loss. They strengthen the sensitive hair roots and improve their blood circulation and nutrient supply. The products can help new hair to sprout. In the case of congenital hair loss, the doctor prescribes suitable medication to reduce the negative effect of the male DHT hormone on the hair roots. In the case of severe menopausal symptoms, hormone replacement therapy can be effective.
How long does hair loss last during the menopause?
How long hair loss lasts in women during the menopause varies. In most cases, the symptoms continue for several years until the end of the menopause. The hair then regenerates. With successful treatment, it is possible that it will grow back after just a few months.
Is hair loss normal during the menopause?
Hair loss in women over 50 is a common side effect of the menopause. This is caused by a drop in oestrogen levels, as a result of which the male sex hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) gains the upper hand. The hair root is congenitally sensitive to the hormonal change, which shortens the normal growth phase of the hair and lengthens the resting phase. If hair growth slows down, it becomes thinner.
