What’s up with the hair shedding?

Posted , 11 users are following.

I'm 54 and having most of the wonderful side effects of menopause. The one that is the most upsetting is the hair shedding!

Does it ever stop shedding? 😦

    I have been using Biotin 5000mg for more than 2 years, and I think is helping with my hair and nails.

    I have the same question. For the past few months, I'm in per at 47 my hair has been clumping together in knots that just pull out of my hair. So I'm losing several knotted clumps a day, not just lose strands. Though I'm dropping lose strands everywhere too. I'm worried about getting bald spots. And I stupidly asked my sister about it who is older and she said she never had that problem and it's just me and not normal. My sister by the way, is an ahole, so not sure why I bothered to ask. I'm trying to see my OBGYN but she's not great and last time she gave me hormones, progesterone, just made me gain a ton of weight. I'm double checking my thyroid but I've had thyroid issues my whole life and never lost hair like that so pretty positive it's hormones. I hope it stops. I am trying a DHT blocker shampoo, for a month, but so far not helping the shedding. I'm growing hair but I don't think it's growing fast enough to keep up with the amount of shedding.
