I'm a female my lh and fsh levels are high - does that cause hair loss?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Hair loss requires an in-person evaluation. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to evaluate and go over your condition, test results and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

William Woessner, MD · Answer

Not necessary. You should ask your physician to explain why your LH and FSH levels are high. Also check your TSH level.

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

There are quite a few causes of elevated LH and FSH. Some are related to hair loss and some are not. See your gynecologist or endocrinologist to understand your specific cause of LH and FSH elevation. Levels of these hormones do change greatly with the menstrual cycle. However, persistently elevated LH and FSH could indicate an ovarian stimulation issue including menopause, premature ovarian failure, and other hormonal issues (PCOS). Your question requires full evaluation to provide a specific answer- so see your physician team if concerned about your  LH and FSH.
