Menopause Hair Loss: Causes, Solutions & What Works

Question
I am 57 years old and going through menapause. When I comb my hair I notice alot of hair shedding in my brush. Can you suggest any thing for this problem?

Answer
I have a dear friend who just turned 60 and has been experiencing the same kind of thinning for about 2 years now. She started taking progesterone and swears that it is helping; her hair definitely is thicker now because she was thinning on top. It seems to be different for each individual, so check out the menopause symptoms page at this website www.everythingmenopause.com and try to find others who have solved this problem. There's a great forum at www.power-surge.com and www.nabbw.com; both on menopause. Good luck.
