But then multivitamins contain very little iron.Iron is in two areas one in blood other is stored.
I know that the testosterone could be the culpret with hair loss, but the suddenness of the hair loss makes me question whether it is the cause. I have an appointment in a few weeks with my GYN to discuss my October lab work. I am in my late 50's and I don't think that many women in their 50's and 60's know how much better testosterone can make you feel - energy and sense of well being. I hope that I don't have to give it up.
I was having usual symptoms of hypothyroidism - fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, hair loss, etc. Have been on Levothyroxine for several months now and have seen improvements in all symptoms except hair loss. I'm also on Plavix (due to a TIA), which I understand can also cause hair loss. I started on it shortly before beginning to exhibit thyroid symptons. I've had breast cancer, so can't take estrogen.
There may be an initial increase in hair growth or reduction in hair loss experienced by few women when they start taking birth control pills or estrogen replacement pills. Since you have been taking it continuously estrogen levels will stabilize and the natural hair growth cycle might be restored. Long term use of hormonal contraceptives should be discouraged. You may try discontinuing the pill when you are trying to get pregnant. Give your hair extra nourishment and take a balanced diet.
t notice a difference after another month of experiementing so I took another 1/2 of estrace. The 2mg dose of estrace seemed to help with the mood swings but the sweating and frontal hair loss has been devastating to me to say the least.The Dr. now has me on 100mg of prometrium together with 1 mg of Estrace, but stated to me that I shouldn't really need the prometrium beings I don't have a Uterus anymore.Am I going to keep loosing my hair like this?
I continued the supplement for a couple more days after noticing, but discontinued use in hopes that my hair loss would stop. I have been off of the supplement for about 6 days now, and my hair is still falling out. I'm taking other vitamins, including Biotin, B complex, fish oil, iron, zinc, vitamin D, and magnesium, in hopes of encouraging hair growth, but my hair continues to fall out and it's becoming very concerning.
In January I noticed hair loss on my head. Now it's not only noticeable to me but others can see it, and I just noticed a few days ago that I've lost hair on my arms and legs, too. It seems my hair is growing slower. I have fine hair to begin with and didn't have much to spare on my head. I don't mind the loss of it on my arms and legs because I had plenty there!
Any ideas on what causes hair loss all over your body?
Estrogen deficiency is what occurs from loss of an ovary. And depression is common from premature estrogen deficiency. This study talks about it (copy and paste into your web browswer) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6196781/ Depression is treatable though. Your doctor could visit the idea of hormone replacement. But probably a better idea is treatment for depression that could be short term. An SSRI can be very beneficial at times like this.
m ready, is there an alternative pill to birth control that will combat the hair loss. It is the yasmin birth control that is stopping my hair from falling out and helped regrow hair. So I was wondering if there is medication that contains whichever ingredients are contained in birth control that has aided in my hair regrowth that I could take so that I can go off the pill when I'm ready to get pregnant and not have my hair fall out again.
hair loss is very worrying - it can be due to several things, some amongst, thyroid disease, adrenal (stress) problems, female hormones estrogen/progesterone.
check out website www.*****.com and www.*****.com - both specialists in thyroid and adrenal - great info on sites. Your wife needs checking for hashimotos which is an autoimmune disease (they test blood for antibodies).
Would like to know if Evening Primrose Oil has helped anyone who is losing their hair....and what dosage was used. Also, is it the thyroid condition that causes the hair loss or the Synthroid. \
I have had Hypothyroid for over 2 years...was not given medication until 8 months after all my symptoms and went steadily downhill feeling like someone 80 when I was a healthy, active 60 year old....had all the symptoms, weight gain, lack of interest in life, major brain fog etc etc....
Sounds like your estrogen levels are taking a nose dive; could be possibly related to your hair loss. That is a major complaint of some women experiencing peri-menopause and menopause. FSH levels are different from the estrogen but it all ties in together. Perhaps you could discuss with your physician about having female hormone levels drawn. Female hormones can affect your thyroid function too, but from the numbers you gave your levels are ok for now.
Hair loss has many causes. Over or under-medication is one, but their are others (deficient of minerals or vitamins, etc.). But, I know some patients that are very particular and they prefer one brand of medication (or even one specific brand of generic meds). If you don't like one brand, it is okay to be adamant about asking your doctor to switch to an alternative thyroid medication.
