S1 Ep7: Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow - Menopause & Hair Loss

Dr. Streicher’s Inside Information: THE Menopause Podcast

For guys, middle-aged hair loss is upsetting, but not something that generally prompts a doctor’s appointment. A woman that has sudden, unexplained hair loss finds herself in a different situation. While not exactly a medical emergency, it definitely qualifies as an emotional emergency.
In this episode Dr. Streicher covers:

• WHY women lose hair mid-life
• STRESS ALOPECIA?
• FEMALE PATTERN HAIR LOSS? (Also known as FPHL or ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA)
• TREATMENTS for Female Pattern Hair Loss including:
• Vitamins for Hair
• Scalp MASSAGE
• Minoxidil
• Low-level LASER
