age related thinning

[londontown]

How to reduce age related hair thinning? My mother became very sparse & semi bald. I'm 10 years post the menopause & have thinning in the front of my hair. I'm not on HRT because I don't need it. The thinning is not really a problem now, but I don't want to be semi bald in 10 years time

Thank you for your question. It would be helpful to make sure that you are not iron deficient (your ferritin should be 70mcg/L or higher). Also check thyroid function blood test time to time.

I hope this is helpful. You can read more about alopecia on my website ( http://www.alexandroff.org.uk).
With Best Wishes,
