Menopausal Hair Loss Treatment Options

Alternative Approaches

  • The National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommends considering menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) for appropriate candidates with referral to specialists, as hormonal changes are a key factor in menopausal hair loss 1

Monitoring and Expectations

  • The American Academy of Dermatology implies that hair growth occurs at approximately 1 cm/month, so patience is required when evaluating any hair loss treatment 2
