Menopause health should begin well before perimenopause hair loss. In this case we share perimenopause hair loss and loose anagen syndrome, that was an accumulation of life events, including surgeries, anaesthetic, medications, past post-partum alopecia and history low iron. This diffuse hair loss exposed the gradual progression of female pattern hair thinning already underway, before menopause.
Perimenopause Hair Loss
This hair loss was the result of a hair cycle breakdown. With 95% of the hair structure lost, we call this loose anagen syndrome. Loose anagen syndrome means the actively growing hairs that should have strong hair roots, have lost strength and structure, so the hair falls out easily. This is always diffuse hair loss, but it exposes other things, as related to perimenopause.
Prevention of Perimenopause Hair Loss
Women’s health is complex with busy lives, study, career, children, family, stress and more. If women were encouraged to undertake a health check from age 40-45, all the hair stress, hair loss, hair thinning and menopausal symptoms, could be prevented, or eased at least.
Health check should include:
- Iron studies
- B12 and folate
- Vitamin D
- Cholesterol with lipid profile
- Chemistry with blood sugar, liver, kidney function
- Thyroid
Having a base line, and checking the levels with a functional practitioner, can help you reach sufficiency.
Trichologist and Perimenopause Hair Loss
Trichologist at Absolique Hair Health Clinic is a functional practitioner, which means she looks at blood tests for more than in range. Sufficiency equals function, energy, good hair, skin, nails, sleep and health. It all comes hand in hand. So many women perimenopausal are stressed, low energy and borderline deficient. That is going to end up in trouble and menopausal hair thinning, female pattern hair thinning.
Trichologist Brisbane
Women’s health check should include blood tests and microscopic diagnosis. There is so much we can read from these which tell us what is or not happening in the body. For example, this scalp environment showed essential fatty acid deficiency, proven then by the blood tests. That provides us clear direction to form hair loss treatment plan based on individual circumstances.
