Why There’s No Pubic Hair Loss During The Course Of Chemotherapy On Cancer Patient?
Posted by: in Hair Loss CausesNot sure what you mean. Chemotherapy targets fast growing cells within the body . . which includes hair follicles . no matter where the hair is located. So, if the type of chemothearpy causes hair loss . . than it will affect all hair on the body including pubic hair.

Give it more time. Thicker hair takes longer and it just takes more time to fall out down under. It will. My sister lost every hair from chemotherapy on her entire body.

If only the “filling in” process was as fast as the “falling out”
I feel like a 12 year old again…not sexy…

Actually there is for some people. Also eyelashes, eyebrows, nose hair. Amazing what you don’t notice until it’s gone.

Not all chemo regimins lead to hair loss. In addition, even if you have hair loss not all hair will disappear. Most likely there will be thinning after 10-14 days from the first chemo and continued thinning that many days after each treatment and the thinning will last till around 6 weeks after treatment ends. Odds are that the pubic hair will thin but not disappear completely.
