Severe Hair Loss And Thinning Of Eye Lashes. Underwent Essure Procedure. Thyroid Levels Normal. Essure Side Effect?

Hi, in aug 2011 I had my 2nd child i have been loosing handful of hair when i wash my hair at times u would think i was a cancer pt. i have talked to my pcp she sent me to a dermatologist but she wasn't to concerned thinking it still had to do from when i was pregnant with my son which he was 18mo old at that time so she said unless i was losing 150+ hairs a day (and wanted me to count each and every hair) she wasn't going to do nothing but that i could take biotin which i was already doing that. ok still loosing hair so pcp did blood work and everything is normal i am on a thyroid med and my levels are normal too so she sent me to a thyroid dr he did blood work and everything is normal. ok now i have noticed that my eyelashes are getting really thin. now here is the part that sounds really crazy after i had my son in 2011 in oct 2011 i choose to have essure done. and now that i think back on all of this that's when i started having all the problems with my hair also. could/can this essure be making my hair come out & my eyelashes come out also. i have been reading stories from other women who have essure who have a lot more problems with there essure but they said signs they had also.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that the hair loss may be due to the cancer, or the cancer medication. Other common causes could be anemia, anxiety, fungal infections, like dandruff.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and proteine rich foods.
Wishing for a good health .Thank you.
