5 Menopause Symptoms Few Women Know About
Thinner hair
If you’re worried about the first white hair strands, I have some bad news. As your estrogen levels continue to drop, your hair also gets gradually thinner. This means it’s more likely to fall off or even break unless you take care of it properly. Experts recommend using a moisturizing shampoo because your scalp also needs plenty of hydration during menopause.
Memory loss
Nope, you shouldn’t blame age nor a busy schedule for forgetting about your friend’s birthday. Again, as Dr. Schmidt says, ‘Everything is related to your estrogen dropping.’ Another symptom caused by the almighty hormone estrogen is memory loss; not only will you fail to memorize new information, but you may also be unable to remember things you certainly knew before! Once again, don’t be hard on yourself as it’s all temporary.
