hormone imbalance and hair loss

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.

Looking around through different websites, I came across PCOS, as i read it, i have pretty well every side effect and symptom listed. I gained 40 lbs in 6 months, painful periods, very irregular, more hair then most woman on my chin and sideburns, I go to the gym, have not lost any wieght yet..

I started my periods when I was 9 and fully developed at that age, they were really painful, lasted 2 weeks and very heavy, I was anemic at one point. Do you think it could be hormone imbalance I am suffering from?

I got sore boobs (unusual for me) and then I spotted the day before my period started and bled fairly heavy (for me), soaking pads and super tampons for 2 days and now Im back to spotting. I peed on a stick wich came back neg.... and I didn't have sex the whole week ovulation was possible.... however my husband and I have succesfully practiced pull out method for the past 4 years. anywho my question is...could this be caused by a hormone imbalance brought on by my intense workout?

t involve hormones (such as condoms and foam or an IUD), to let your body go back to its normal hormone cycles. Do this for two or three months and see if your cycles regulate, and how you feel. Keep a journal, it will help you see patterns. Then see how you're doing with the symptoms you list.

Hypothyroidism is known to cause alopecia and can be a significant loss of hair. And I recently learned that scratching our scalp can cause hair to fall out and not regrow very well because our itching on the surface has damaged the follicles. So, try your very best to keep your hands off your head. Dry skin on a scalp can make it itch so use something to condition your actual scalp. I think Aveeda makes a product for this but it is probably pricy.

m asking is that do any of you think that these symptoms could be caused by extreme hormone imbalance? No one has ever tested my hormones before. I find it weird that they all started almost a month to the day I quit birth control. Also, my period was never regular when I was younger, I matured late and would sometimes go 6 months without getting my period. I was also anorexic during high school which didn't help. But I am no longer and eat very healthy.

It sounds like since your mother is going through menopause that the two biggest answers would be a thyroid issue or another hormone imbalance. Hormones and your thyroid both effect your period and the hair loss is also a sign of both menopause and thyroid issues. My mother is going through menopause and has noticed that she is losing hair from her arms, legs, and pubic area. The doctor said thats normal for menopausal women but if your mother has other more severe symptoms I would go to the Dr.

Unless my hormones have changed since I turned 30? What type of hormone imbalance are there and does imbalance always show up on tests? 3. Is fluocinonice topical solution safe? Can it make TE worse or cause more hair to fall out? 4. Any other tests or doctors specializing in hair loss? 5. I had an allergic reaction which caused hives and rednessback in Sept 2010. Allergist had no explanation. I have no known allergies. Could that be indicative of something thats going on?

Imbalance of this hormone may cause increased hair loss. Thyroid hormone mainly causes dry and course hair but in males testosterone imbalance can cause hair loss. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

I'm a 19 year old female and I'm losing my hair. It's depressing me extremely and I don't know what to do about it. It's not like bald spots or anything, its just thinning and getting shorter everywhere. It started around December 2009 and isn't getting any better. Its scaring me, and I haven't felt good about the way I have looked in months. I don't know what to do, or what is causing it.
