Hair Loss. Ovaries Removed Due To Cysts And Estrogen Dominance. Will Natural Progesterone Cream Help?

My name is Carol. I am 55. I had my ovaries removed when I was 40. I had problems with estrogen dominance and cysts on my ovaries. Since my surgery, I have loss a lot of hair on my head and on my body. I had tests done in the past to check my harmone levels. They were ok. I was wondering if natural progesterone cream would help with my hair problem. I do not have a doctor at this time. My doctor died.
Thanks

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Hair loss can be because of a lot of reasons. Without an opportunity to closely examine the scalp, I would not be able to accurately specify the condition causing hair loss. You might need to consider a consultation with dermatologist for assessment and work up.
Natural progesterone cream is not a treatment approved for any type of hair fall. So I would not recommend it.
You may take supplements containing biotin, calcium pantothenate, anti oxidants and minerals daily which is beneficial for all hair falls.
Biotin rich foods are carrots, almonds, walnut, cucumber, cauliflower, milk and eggs. Eggs also have protein and amino acids required for hair growth.
Hope this helped
Take care
