Question by classof2010 : Iron affects testosterone which causes hair loss?
I’m seventeen going on eighteen. I have been having hair loss for a while, at first i thought i was “shedding” but i slowly realized that it should have stopped. I’ve had a history of low iron for a long time now.

So i got a letter in the mail from the hospital that says that my testosterone. it said that i could possible have PCOS, then i began to research causes of high testosterone could be caused by low iron levals. Correct me if im wrong.

The high testosterone levels associated with PCOS are not because of the low iron. PCOS is a very complicated disorder, it isn’t simply that you have some cysts. There is a whole syndrome that goes along with it. Obesity, dry skin, high blood sugars, bad menstrual cramping, etc. If you have heavy menstrual bleeding, which could be associated with PCOS as well, that is what is causing your low iron levels. You need to see a gyn who is really good at dealing with PCOS so you get the best outcome. You may also have low thyroid, which is another thing associated with PCOS, and that alone will contribute to low iron and definitely cause hair loss.

Question by kylie0731: could this be too much iron and cause problems for me?
this may be an off the wall question but i had to ask. i bought a Body Wash that has Iron in it. i didn’t realize it till i got it home..is it possible that this can be too much iron on top of other things i receive iron from?

i read this and made me nervous.so i thought i would ask

Iron is not excreted. The iron you absorb stays and accumulates in storage except that you can lose one milligram a day through hair, finger nails, skin cells and other detritus. That is the amount needed every day to replace the loss. One milligram, that’s all and for women in reproductive years, one and a half milligram. The other way to lose iron, of course, is by blood loss.

The other thing to note is that hemoglobin is not iron! Yes, you are anemic if your hemoglobin is low but that does not necessarily mean your iron is low. Indeed, what might be happening is that the iron is collecting in storage instead of going into hemoglobin. You are actually iron-loaded and need iron removed despite the anemia. The anemia should be treated with B vitamins, especially B12, B6 and folic acid. Many patients with anemia are dying of iron overload, and some are hastened to their death by their physicians who give them more iron.

Even a small amount of excess iron can damage heart and brain and other storage sites in the body and lead to heart attack or stroke. There is exaggerated concern when hemoglobin falls temporarily, following surgery, for example. Blood transfusions are over-used. A study shows that surgery patients who do not receive transfusions survive better than those who do.1

I don’t think you are going to absorb iron from a body wash. Iron is ingested through the GI tract.

Are you taking lots of iron supplements? If you’re just referring to the iron from an average diet, that’s nowhere near toxic levels. If you’re pounding supplements though, you need to evaluate how much you should be taking.
