What Causes Hair Loss After Taking HRT?

I had a total hysterectomy in 2001 and was put on HRT implants for 4-5 years . Due to tachyphylaxia I was taken off the HRT for a couple of years until my hormone levels came down. My hair loss started during this period. For the last couple of years I was placed on Evorel 25 and experimented with evorel 50 in between. I have remained on Evorel 25 on which I still experience bouts of hot flushes which I am coping with. However I am now experiencing hair loss along my frontal and temporal hair line . I have lost all my eye brow hair. My scalp feels itchy on and off . I have tried reaine for a 3 month period but I saw no improvement. I feel very depressed and my Dr wants me to go onto antidepressants.I live in an extended family with a lot of stress too.

Hi,

Hormonal therapies aims at balancing hormones so hair fall is probably not due to it. Stress is a major risk factor of hair fall, try managing stress with good healthy diet, exercise and yoga. Nothing else wont work for it unless stress is worked upon.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Fahum Akhter, General & Family Physician
