I’m in my late 40s and I’ve noticed my hair has started to get thin. I’m still getting regular periods so it’s unlikely to be due to menopause. What would you suggest?

While you are still having regular periods, keep in mind that the perimenopausal phase, where the body is navigating the hormonal changes leading up to menopause itself, typically begins at the age of 35. This means it is likely that changes associated with menopause are playing a role in the thinning of your hair.
