if your hair is falling out in clumps i would suggest you see a doctor to try to determine a cause. hair loss or hair thinning in women isn't necessarily directly related to menopause but women can experience a condition called androgenic alopecia which is hair loss that's thought to be related to hormone levels. in men this condition is called "male pattern baldness. " it's the same sort of thing in women only the thinning hair usually is not noticeable until after a woman reaches age 40 or so. however in androgenic alopecia the hair doesn't usually fall out in clumps. so as i said i'd suggest you see a medical professional to get this diagnosed. wishing you all the best!
