Question by brahm1313: Which hormones cause pregnancy female hair growth?
I have had female pattern baldness (which after testing was not due to thyroids, blood problems, etc) since I was in my teens, and it runs in my family. However, during both of my pregnancies, my hair filled back in to an acceptable level (and of course, it fell out again a few months after each birth). What hormone caused the hair to begin growing again, and is there a way to take it (like the birth control pill) to combat female hair loss?
Best answer:
Answer by Kristal I take pre-natal vitamins to make my hair thicker and longer quicker. It’s probably something in there.
www.DrHotze.com Are you having symptoms of hormonal decline such as fatigue, hair loss, weight gain, and muscle pain? Did you know that “Fibromyalgia” is a fancy word to describe your joint and muscle pain, and that it is commonly caused by hypothyroidism? Dr. Hotze explains how bioidentical hormones are identical to the molecules your own body makes.
I’m supposed to be starting it on Sunday to balance my hormones. My body produces excessive androgen and it’s causing me problems such as hair loss, mild hirsutism, oily skin… etc. Anyone with the same problem been successful with Yaz?
Let me know…
hi there
i am a 22 year old girl who is healthy apart from being overweight and having a borderline underactive thyroid ( i think my t level was 6)
i have always had thick, coarse, wavy hair. however, over the past year or so i have noticed that it has thinned out a LOT. i have no bald patches.. it just looks greasier.. duller and flat on my head. the crown of my head feels like it is more visible than before and there has definatly been a lot of thinning.. i think i have probably lost abut 1/4 of the thickness.. if not more.
my hair has been damaged due to over colouring ( i have always had highlights but in december 2006 i coloured it red.. then black.. then had it stripped and bleached to get it back to blonde). I have been really careful since, and even had 6/7 inches cut off as it was so delicate.
this doesnt explain the greasyness though. my hair doesnt feel more dry than usual.. but breaks more in my fingers. i just looks crap and thin. it also gets matted underneath for some reason.
i went to my Dr and she said its probably due to stress ( i have been suffering from depression and a bit of anxiety for a while now but my hair was never affected) when i went on about it she said it may be thyroid but with just a minor underactive thyroid problem ( and i take medication) this seems a bit strange!
in december 2006-jan 2007 i had a mirena coil fitted. since then i have experienced excess hair growth on my body (well.. more than b4) and spots. i read online that the mirena can cause hair thinning also.
i am considering having the mirena taken out. the pill never agreed with my anyway and im seriously thinking of getting a diaphragm instead. im trying not to stress but being overweight and having such thin, lank, weird hair is making me depressed lol!
please what wud you suggest?
i have read many accounts online about women experiencing hair loss with the mirena?
thanks x
Yes. And don’t worry, it’s natural. About a month or two after having the baby you’ll notice your hair coming out! It feels like you’re going bald, but you’re not, it’s just returning to it’s natural state! You may or may not remember that in your last trimester of pregnancy, your hair was thicker and fuller!? Well that’s because, for some reason unbeknownst to me, you don’t lose any hair your last trimester! Like usually you lose a little here and there. Do not be alarmed, it will stop!
