    Estrogen and hairloss ?

    It has been mentioned on this board, that high levels of Estrogen conversion help with hairloss.

    but every where i've search on this, I've gotten 1. woman who enter menopause, causing decline in estrogen, causes them hairloss ????

    so too little estrogen hairloss, and too much estrogen or hairloss, or what am i missing here.

    LIKE THIS ONE:
    Estrogens, the feminizing hormones, can inhibit or counteract the follicle-shrinking effect of the androgens. Women have more estrogens circulating in their blood than men. As a result of this higher level of estrogens, even women having a genetic predisposition for pattern hair loss are protected from losing their hair because of the high level of estrogens in their blood. When these women reach menopause however, their estrogen level may decrease sufficiently, and the protective effect of the estrogen may be overridden by the DHT message. Then hair can begin to thin, sometimes rapidly. Some women who are genetically pre-disposed to have pattern hair loss.

    Estrogen supplementation can raise are estrogen levels, and help restore the emotional and physical condition of the patient to the pre-menopause states. It may also slow or stop hair loss triggered by menopause. However, hormone replacement therapy is a controversial treatment for menopause, with possible links to both increasing the risk of some cancers, and possibly reducing the risk of certain heart diseases.
