Yes - after my hysterectomy and ovary removal! I lost well over 1/2 of it within about 4 months. It also became very find and unhealthy looking and a small section turned gray. My skin also aged noticeably in that short period. It's been 5+ years since my surgery and it's still falling out.

I know how devastating it can be! Are you in natural menopause? Has the texture changed? Are you having many other meno symptoms?

Hope things start improving!

I have lost hair and thinning of my hair since menopause, I keep wondering if I increase B vitamins if that would help, has anyone tried anything that helped?

I can relate gals. I am tired of finding more hair in my brush than I feel like I have on my head. I can say that I have been taking vitamin B for months and months and that hasn't seemed to make a difference. I don't know if there is any help.

I was taking finasteride (Propecia) and then I quit and my hair started shedding like crazy again. So I'm going to start it back up. It's a cheap Rx (I think about $5 without insurance). My NP wrote the Rx as 1/2 pill MWF.

I take Vitamin B so maybe thats helping. BUT maybe its why I'm getting these hideous chin hairs. ugh.

those hideous chin hairs are just another wonderful part of menopause. I hate them so much. I can tell you that my tweezers are sure getting a work out! :)

thank you all for your replies....i think its and estrogen thing....i'm looking around for some natural estrogen sups...i'll let you know what i find..

My chin hair has changed color to a silver grey - now I can't see them even with my bifocals on - can it get any worse LOL

I think the chin hair is from being estrogen deficient and having more testosterone. Not an expert, just heard that. I have the same chinny chin chin hairs other have. Think I will have laser surgery to get rid of them permanently because Im tired of tweezing. I do know that estrogen decline causes the thinning hair and that hormone therapy usually brings it back. I was on commercial hormones and now going on to bio-identicals instead but when I was on hormones at the beginning I noticed that my eyebrows were no longer thinned out to start with. I go on bio-identicals in the next week...stay tuned.

This article makes sense to me because I have found this to be my experience. As I neared the age of 40 I noticed lots of shedding.
I don't think it's the lack of estrogen alone that causes it. My experience and from what I've read says that it is hormone imbalance.
I am not on HRT and I have noticed LESS shedding than the few years prior to my TAH/BSO.
I believe it's all about Testosterone and Androgens.. but I'm not a doctor.. and I only know what has happend to me. Here is the link to the article!

Thyroid problems (more common after menopause and especially after surgical menopause) can also cause hair loss. Estrogen is supposed to help keep hair in the anagen (growth phase) but it doesn't help all women. Too much testosterone isn't a problem for all women either. That's why it's all a guessing (trial) game!

Hair loss is awful. I hope I don't loose anymore! I lost what seems like half of my hair and now it's pretty thin. I hope I don't loose anymore! I don't think I would look good bald. Aren't some of what we write funny? Reading them cracks me up!!! Chin hairs!! LOLOL. I have them too. Never thought hair loss and chin hairs would be my problem, but they are!! Geesh !!!I wonder if guys experience aging in such a dramatic way. I don't think so. Maybe god isn't a woman!! HA.

i haven't had to shave under my arms or my legs in years, that parts good but i'd realy like to get the hair on my head back...its getting so thin

Yes, noticed thinning hair. More hair in the sink, not clumps but more than I used to see. I found out Im estrogen dominant and my progesterone has tanked. Going on bio-identical progesterone this week. My DHEA is also tanked as well as my morning cortisol which I am beginning supplements soon through my doctor. Hopefully my hair will return to normal somewhat. Keep you posted!

yep it can but the estrogen can do it also
