Can Menopause Be Related With Weight Gain And Thinning Of Eye Brows?

56 year old female, done with menopause according to bloodwork. Gaining weight (30 lbs) with no dramatic change in routine or diet. Armpits stopped sweating, no deodorant needed at all. Eyebrows thinned out. Is this the after effects of menopause or could something be wrong with my thyroid.

Hello,

Your thinking is quite right about both the conditions. Your weight gain and hair loss can be due to menopause or thyroid function abnormalities.

Please get Thyroid function tests done. If needed please seek prescription support from your treating doctor for Thyroid hormone tablets.

For both the conditions I will suggest you the following:
- Please opt for a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen.
- Include more portions of fruits and vegetables and salads in daily diet.
- Drink plenty of water in the day.
- Avoid refined sugars and deep fried foods and bakery products in the diet.
- Please take Iron, Calcium, protein and vitamin B 12 and Folic acid supplementation on regular basis.
- Think positive.
- Meditate regularly.

If needed start on Phytoestrogens tablet once a day for 3 to 4 months regularly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Purushottam Neurgaonkar
