Is it normal to suffer from a lot of hair loss once you begin your period?

I am 12 and 1/2 and have just started my period. I am suffering from extreme hair loss, by that I mean that when I brush my hair with my fingers many strands fall out, or when I am in the shower clumps of hair will come out and when I tie my hair and then untie it hair will be wrapped around the hair tie. Is this normal. I am really nervous as I can almost feel my hair thinning! Help!Is it normal to suffer from a lot of hair loss once you begin your period?
Everyone reacts differently to their period due the increase in hormones when you hit puberty. Go and see you're doctor and talk to them about it and they'll be able to help. If you've just started you're period it may just be you're body adjusting so give it time - dont worry you wont go bald!

it might be related or it might be completely unrelated to your period, or it might be directly related.





tell your mom or dad and get them to take you to the doctor just to check it out.





good luck and i hope this helps! xx
I'd probably go see a doctor just to make sure. It could be more serious than you think. It's better to be safe than sorry.
