After
menopause many women will experience symptoms of
hair loss, as well as an increased amount of
facial hair. When a woman enters into menopause,
or loses her period due to a high level of
physical activity or dieting, her estrogen
levels drop. Before menopause, estrogen binds excess
testosterone to proteins called globulins and
lowers the freeform testosterone levels in the
blood. Lowered levels of estrogen thus
allow free testosterone levels to rise, and thus
lead to increased levels of DHT the hormone that
kills hair follicles. Using a DHT
inhibitor can help reverse the hair loss process caused
by menopause.
