estradiol and hair loss

Hello, I recommend testing for both Ferritin and Vitamin D Hydroxy 25; deficiencies in both of these can cause hair loss and are common in people w/ Hashi's.

Hi, everybody. I've been experiencing hot flashes, hair loss, irregular periods, and dry eyes for several months. I had my hormone and thyroid levels tested twice, and, while everything technically came back normal, my estradiol (52 pg/ml) level concerns me. I've read that anything below the 50 pg/ml mark is not a good sign. Is this true? Does this number suggest that I'm in the early stages of premature ovarian failure, or are there other causes of low estradiol?

weight gain, increased appetite, hair loss, gastric problems, hyperactivity and behaviour problems. Carbamazepine or Tegretol, on the other hand, is effective against generalised tonic-clonic and partial seizures. The side effects associated with this include: blurred vision, double vision, unsteadiness and nausea dizziness and headaches. Gynecomastia is the development of abnormally large mammary glands in males resulting in breast enlargement.

10. Doctor decided to run Estradiol level and thyroid tests to see if that was causing weight gain. Was wondering what you thought of these results Estradiol on day 3 of cycle 23 T4 total 5.5 ref 6.1-12.2 T3 total0.8 ref 0.9-1.8 TSH 1.56 ref 0.34 5.60 Do you think thyroid or estrogen replacement is necessary? Thanks for the help hate running all these miles and not seeing a difference.

Im also going through hair loss. I counted all the hairs I lost in a day and it was just over 100 hairs in and after the shower! Im getting worried cause my hair is fine to start with. My pubic hair is also very different, nearly blonde, dry and breaks..weird. My TSH is 6.3 (0.5-4.5) FT4 is 16 (10-20) FT3 is 4.2 (3.5-6.0) Could it be my FT3?

insomnia, constipation/bloating, hair loss on head, new hair growth on face, intense premenstrual cramping and lower back pain, low libido, dryer skin, and just last night I had my first night sweat. I also now have chronic dark circles under my eyes and have noticed more brown spots on my face. I've had a ton of different hormones tested, all of which have been within normal range, and "good" according to my doctor. My thyroid is normal. My day-2 FSH is 5.8.

I was wondering if anyone here has levels of FSH and LH like I do. I did some blood work at my doctors office mid cycle, almost eactly mid cycle and here were the results: Estradiol: 478 pg/ml Estrogens: Total 558 pg/ml FSH: 0.7 L (mlu/ml) LH: 4.9 mlu/ml Progesterone: 1.8 ng/ml Testosterone: 87 ng (slightly high) I have extremely painfull periods and have been unable to concieve for a couple years.

I was put on Estradiol 1 mg. did well for one year. Then started getting severe hot flashes and facial hair growth, wasn't sleeping well either. So, I took it upon myself to stop the Estradiol. Oh my goodness, what a huge mistake! I lost HUGE amount of my hair, went to hospital twice because of labored breathing, nearly everywhere I touched my arms Id have bloody bruising, sleep was only dozing, that list could goes on. So then, I went to bio-identical hormones.

Hi. I'm not sure this is the right place for this question, but I'm sort of desperate. I've been experiencing hot flashes, hair loss, dry eyes, and irregular periods for about eight months. I'm only twenty-four, so these symptoms have been worrying me quite a bit. I visited my doctor in June, and he ordered a thyroid test. My results were completely normal. I shrugged everything off to stress and went on with my life. Unfortunately, the hot flashes became worse.

hair loss, swollen vulva, swollen mammary glands, and vomiting. The most serious effect from high doses is that estrogen (the active ingredient in Incurin) may have a tumour-promoting effect in target organs with estrogen receptors, such as the mammary gland. The most dangerous effect of PPA (phenylpropanolamine) is hypertension.

I also take Estradiol 1mg due to a total hysterectomy~ 14lbs of tumors and invasive endometriosis removal. My head hair loss has continued and expanded to legs, arms eyebrows and eyelashes- with increased facial hair. I have new hair growth on my head but the overall hair count continues to decrease as the new growth cannot keep up with the loss. Scalp is visible over my entire head.

weight gain, inability to affect fat composition with exercise, hair thinning and loss, hair by hair turning white and crinkly, low body temp (~97.4F), hirsutism (since puberty), acne (especially chin/cheeks), lately hot flashes! Sleep quality has been extremely poor for well over a year now. Wake ups once or twice a night, and if I stay awake past midnight I'll be awake for hours (was always a night owl but these patterns particularly started March 2013). Never feel rested.

I have all the symptoms for Hypothyroidism (except low libido). I have had these for several years. i.e.

m in my late 30s - the first month I was tested, my estradiol was 374 and my FSH 5.2. The next month my estradiol dropped to 87 and my FSH increased to 10.1. I'm at a loss of whether I should keep trying or just say that a baby isn't in my cards. Anyone else heard of estradiol dropping hundreds of points in a single month?

s nice to actually be warm on occasion. The hair loss is terrible. I have dark hair and fair skin so it is pretty noticeable and coupled with the weight gain I am having serious self esteem issues. I'm also immensely fatigued. This is not new but is intense. I've also started waking up early and can't get back to sleep which is only making the fatigue worse. Not sure if there is any other relevant information but please let me know if anything else is important.

You might also be getting not enough of Thyroid hormone replacement now that you do not have your gland. Other common cause of hair loss especially in people with Thyroid problem (and that seam to go hand in hand) is low Ferritin levels. Your Serum Iron levels might be normal but if your Ferritin goes bellow 40 your hair will go into Tellogen Efuvium fase (resting ) and start comming out.

And, it was honest. I so often feel the same way. I take estradiol (the only estrogen to use in my opinion) and Testosterone. My husband has been trying to get to the root of some problems that have caused a huge lack of desire... we think it is related to Sleep apnea and he will be tested... yeah! But, when I mentioned this to my doctor, he said, "Oh, you don't need the testosterone, then.

My daughter just turned 6 in May and has developed small breasts as we as hair under arms (no pubic hair though), and a fowel smell below. We have an appointment this Saturday morning.....

Symtoms dizzy, weak, numbness, swollen, extreme fatigue,pins and needles, radiating pain throughout, sensitive skin and teeth, hair loss, low blood pressure, head feels full ect ect ect..anxiety panic.....deppressed I do not have all my results back yet but any comments would be appreciated.... free t4 11 pmol free t3 3 tsh 1.

6 and weigh 120 , i dont have extra hair growth , insulin resistance and my period are normal. My doctor told me that there is a small percent of women that are small and get PCOS.Im only 23 , me and my husband have been trying for about a year and a half. I just finished 3 rounds of clomid / estradiol but now that he knows that i have PCOS he put me on femara / estradiol. Has your doctor put you on anything ? I wish you Lots of luck and God Bless !

I was on it for 7 months. Then I was put on 12 mg of DHEA and hair started falling out. I was on that for 3 months, and quit 3 weeks ago....hair seems to have stopped falling out. In spite of a very low fat diet, my cholesterol shot up this past year. Below are recent lab results....can't tell if I have high or low testosterone...and the hormone test was 3 weeks after stopping DHEA. Also having hot flashes again 24/7....haven't had them since menopause a few years ago.

I also started having memory problems and stuttering trying to find words two weeks before the EEG was done, which also started after the finger thing feeling in the hair and brain and the loss of focus. these last 10 to 15 minutes. The ones with blind spots are usually only there 1 to 3 minutes. I have been to 2 neurologist and they can't seem to come to a decision. First one did a EEG and said I had a focal over left and right temporal lobe with the left being the worst, MRI was normal.

She sent me a great link about a doctor from New York, a Doctor Redman, who works with women on Hair loss. His info on Estradiol/testosterone is very, very interesting. He uses estradiol to treat women who have hair loss issues. He is not quick to blame just testosterone. It is about the ratio and the adrenal glands. But, google to find it if interested.
