Title: Can hrt cause hair loss?
Post by: silverstar on November 21, 2020, 01:27:30 PM

Thinking of asking doc for systemic hrt, but worried this may cause further hair loss? As I had endometriosis I would probably have to have progesterone with estrogen.
Thanks

Hi silverstar. If you haven't had a hysterectomy then you will have to add in a progesterone whether you have endo or not as you need to protect the womb lining.

I think there have been posts before on the subject of hair thinning. You could put it in the search box and see what's already been discussed?
