Is hair loss normal in autumn?
Hair loss can be caused by low iron levels, and heavy periods is a common cause of this in women. Hair loss can also be due to an underactive thyroid gland, so it would be a good idea for you to have both of these checked – you’ll need a blood test, which your GP can arrange for you. Occasionally stress, and the change in hormone levels that occur around the time of the menopause can also cause slight hair thinning, so these are also issues for you to consider, and chat through with your doctor.
