Hair Care During Menopause
Menopause is that phase of a woman’s life when there are lots of hormonal changes. The production of certain hormones is reduced whereas some are produced in excess, this imbalance leads to hair and skin disorders. The hair starts thinning, scalp gets dry and some woman might face alopecia. This hormonal disturbance makes the skin dry and lifeless.
Extreme care should be taken during this phase to counter the lack of vital nutrition. Woman usually suffer hair loss due to various deficiencies like deficiency of iron, zinc and calcium, additionally anemia drains the body and causes hair loss. Around 40% of woman world over face this problem. There is hope for those who suffer from this condition, though it is a common problem but there are prescription treatments available.
HRT - Hormone Therapy, consult your gynaecologist who can advise some mdeicines which will balance the hormone production. But do not try anything by just asking your chemist, visit a doctor who can also help you with medication for mood swings, lack of sleep and hot flashes etc.
Home care - Massage the scalp with oil and keep it moisturised. Hair tends to get very dry during menopause and can break easily so keep it moisturised. Use deep conditioners. If possible install a humidifier in the house to keep your skin and hair moistened. Eat a healthy diet which should include, meat, eggs, fish and dairy products. Also green leafy vegetables and juices are very good.
Supplements - As much as possible include all the vitamins in your meals but if need be then take supplements for Vitamin A, Vitamin B6, Folic acid and Vitamin B 12. Remember that natural source of these vitamins are best.
General hair care like oiling the hair, protecting it from exposure to sun and pollution should be kept in mind apart from the above mentioned remedies.
