research Menopause and hair loss in women: Exploring the hormonal transition
The document examines the impact of menopause on hair loss in women, emphasizing hormonal changes such as decreased estrogen and increased androgens as key factors affecting hair growth. Conditions like female-pattern hair loss (FPHL) and telogen effluvium (TE) are common, while frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is less frequent but can cause permanent hair loss. These changes can significantly affect emotional well-being and quality of life. Treatment options include medications like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride, as well as low-power laser therapy and hair transplants. The review highlights the need for further research to better understand and address hair loss concerns in post-menopausal women. A study cited in the document found a 52.2% prevalence of FPHL among 178 participants, underscoring the widespread nature of this issue.

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
