One of the most common causes of hair loss in perimenopausal women is not hormones, but a nutritional deficiency, with depleted iron stores being the most important factor.
An iron deficiency is defined as having a ferritin level of under 40 ng/ml.
Talk to your dermatologist. Ask how long it takes before you see a complete cessation of hair loss.
