<p>“The most common thing I see in clinic with regards to the menopause is dry mouth. Dry mouth can increase your risk of gum disease and cavities as when your saliva glands don’t produce enough to clear oral bacteria, germs can build up fairly quickly which in turn increases your risk for tooth decay and gingivitis”  </p>

<div>Hair changes during menopause can be particularly distressing for many women. Dr Bessam Farjo, a leading Hair Restoration Surgeon and Hair Loss Expert at Farjo Hair Institute, delves into the complexities of menopausal hair loss and provides guidance on managing it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>“Hair loss during menopause and perimenopause is relatively common. More generally, losing some hair volume is a natural part of the ageing process. For example, it is estimated that around 40% of women aged 70 years or over experience female-pattern baldness – the most common type of hair loss, which is thought to be inherited.”</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Menopause causes oestrogen levels to drop, and as oestrogen is a hair-friendly hormone that helps to keep hair in the growing phase, the decreased levels mean that the hair grows more slowly and becomes thinner.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>“The drop in oestrogen can also mean the effects of androgens – male hormones – can increase. These hormones shrink hair follicles, making them produce increasingly more fragile hairs and eventually none at all.”</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Dr Farjo explains eating a healthy, balanced diet is crucial at every age. “Make sure you are eating plenty of whole grains, good fats and vegetables, as this can certainly help – particularly if your hair loss has been exacerbated by your diet.”</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Keeping your stress levels in check can also help to balance your hormone levels. “As mentioned, stress can raise androgen levels in the body, so finding something that can help you relax is a good idea. Many women find yoga, breathing exercises and keeping active can be particularly effective.”</div>
