Could The Cervix Infection Causes Hair Loss?

Hi I recently went to obgyn for annual and she found a tampon behind my cervix. Not sure how long it has been up there :( embarrasing. But I have had an awful order for months. I was prescribed antibiotics and have been on for 2 days so far. Also in these past months I have had extreme amounts of hair loss. Could the infection cause the hair loss ???

Hello,

Welcome to healthcare magic.

I understand from your query that you are having severe hair loss.

This is called as telogen effluvium and it is a reaction to physical ailments like fever, severe infections, anaemia, thyroid problems, surgeries or mental stress.

In your case, the undiagnosed infection could have caused the hair loss.

You could benefit from taking oral biotin supplements daily for 3 months.

This is reversible hair loss and will improve with time.

Hope this helps you.

Take care.
