Hair S Texture Is Frizzier And Full Of Electricity. Missed Periods. Became Heavier, Having Headaches. Menopause?
Hi, I'm 46 years old and in the past six months my hairs texture has become much frizzier and full of electricity. My last three periods have been late, which is unusual and they have become so much heavier, to the point that the doctor has prescribed transameric acid. I also seem to be getting more headaches around period time. Could this be the start of the menopause?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The symptoms that you have described could be related to menopause. This can be confirmed by getting your serum FSH levels evaluated. Taking phyto estrogens after consulting your gynecologist will help.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
