Hormonal changes associated with the menopause also trigger the loss or thinning of the hair. The same happens in women who undergo total hysterectomies.
At these times, the female sexual hormones confer greater influence to the masculine hormones, thereby thinning the hair.
Sometimes this process is triggered by hormone replacement therapy
based on progesterone, which has a similar effect on the scalp as the male hormone DHT.
But this does not happen to all women, there must be a certain genetic predisposition in order to develop this type of alopecia.
