Navigating Hair Changes During Menopause

Menopause brings about a variety of physical changes, and one area often affected is hair. While experiences vary, many women notice thinning and loss of hair on the scalp and eyebrows, alongside increased facial hair growth.

According to the British Journal of Dermatology, about 39% of post-menopausal women experience increased hair growth on facial areas like the upper lip, cheeks, ears, and chin. These hairs range from "peach fuzz" to thick, dark hairs. While many attribute these changes solely to estrogen levels, it's a combination of hormonal shifts, including a decrease in progesterone, androgen, and estrogen, alongside an increase in testosterone.

Non-hormonal factors, such as stress, genetics, diet, medication, activity level, and medical conditions, also play a role in hair fluctuations. Sudden hair growth may warrant a conversation with a doctor to rule out underlying health issues. Treatment options include medications, lifestyle changes, and close monitoring of progress.

For unwanted excess hair, common solutions like plucking, shaving, waxing, or laser treatment offer temporary relief but don't permanently address the issue.
