Birth Control and Hair Loss with Trichologist Sydney

Does birth control cause hair loss? A common question that causes unnecessary reactions and misunderstandings. Synthetic hormone driven birth control on its own can cause hormonal pattern hair thinning in some individuals but generally when used long term or used to treat an actual hormone problem. It is in essence birth control not a hormone treatment after all. Starting and stopping any medication, including birth control can cause diffuse hair loss which is very different from hormonal pattern hair thinning. One must get an accurate diagnosis to be sure to understand what is going on, hair loss or pattern hair thinning.

Trichologist Sydney at Absolique Hair Health Clinic will always assist you to understand underlying causes of hormonal problems, hair loss and hair thinning related to birth control and assist with hair regrowth. Diffuse hair loss can occur from starting and stopping birth control, it should be temporary and self-correcting as birth control is causing a change in the body. Change in the body can disturb the hair cycle and cause temporary diffuse hair loss, three months after the change, stopping or starting the birth control.

Birth Control and Hair Loss with Trichologist Sydney:

• Hair loss can occur three months after starting/stopping/changing birth control
• Hair loss will continue for three months
• Hair loss should stop after three months
• Hair is supposed to regrow within 12 months
• Most women need assistance with hair regrowth due to low iron and ferritin and other common deficiencies

When this type of hair loss occurs, the hair will continue to fall for three months, this can be scary but please understand we can help you to slow it down, but you can’t stop it. No-one ever goes bald form this type of hair loss and Trichologist Sydney will make sure everything is in place for normal and quick hair regrowth.

With this type of hair loss women tend to be reactive and stop or change the birth control which will trigger more hair loss in three-months’ time! It is important to get qualified advice from a clinical Trichologist at this time to avoid more hair loss and make sure everything is in place for hair regrowth.

It is sad to say that I see this type of hair loss go misdiagnosed and misunderstood years on resulting in dreadful hair thinning and hair anxiety. Trichologist Sydney can even help to avoid hair loss related to starting/stopping and changing birth control. We do need to work with you 4-6 months before the change takes place to slow or stop the hair loss and be sure your health is in the right place for hair regrowth and hormonal balance which also plays a role here.
