this must feel very distressing. i hope to at least offer some reassurance. hair loss in women is not uncommon. that said i do think you should either return to your health care provider for follow-up testing or see a different doctor. the benefit of returning to the provider you saw last time is that he or she has your medical history and past test results for comparison. many conditions including thyroid issues can cause hair loss. just because they didn't show up on your lab work a year ago doesn't mean they won't show up now. you also should know that there is a condition called "female pattern baldness" that affects a number of women but this doesn't usually show up until a woman reaches her 40s. i wish you all the best in finding out why your lovely locks are falling out! i am 29 yrs old and have also been experiencing very thin hair embarrassing thin hair in the front and top of my scalp as well as lowered sex drive. i've had blood tests for thyroid and low hormones and all tests came back "normal" but i still feel there is a big unanswered question. i've also been told that stress and pain in the body can cause this so maybe life is stressing you out a bit more than you may be willing to acknowledge? i know i deny being stressed out! however i am searching for more concrete answers just like you so if you find any helpful information to share please do! sincerely cc from s. b. there are many reasons for hair fall. if you are sure that there are no serious underlying reasons like hormonal imbalances focus on nutritional aspect. hair nourishment with essential micronutrients through oral medicines and local applications (oils/creams) would help stop your hair fall.
my hair has been falling out for almost a year now. i'm 26 yr old female. my blood tests came back normal. along w/excessive shedding my hair has been very dry. i haven't changed the way i treat my hair. i do see growth but shedding is so excessive that my hair thinned considerably since last yr. i have used spironolactone for acne 2 1/2 yrs ago. i have been off it for a little over a yr. didn't experience any bad sideeffects w/spiro. i'm not on birth control. i also have been experiencing low sex drive. my gp didn't have an answer for me. i feel hopeless<negative_smiley>
