I started HRT pellet therapy a little over a year ago for 6 months. Since then, I started losing hair all over but especially at the crown and temples. I had switched to estrogen and testosterone cream in February. However, the hair loss continues. I stopped taking the testosterone a few days ago. Will my hair come back or will I need a transplant?

Answer: Hair loss We diagnose hair loss based on complete stories and complete up close examination ls. Neither of these are possible here. So be sure to see a dermatologist who specializes in complex hair issues. For some women, HRT can cause hair loss and HRT protocols with testosterone dramatically accelerate thinning for some women. Again, I don’t know if this is what’s going on in your case as I would need the answers to 50-60 more questions and to see the scalp up close. Be sure to see an expert. A hair transplant is possible only under strict criteria. Rapid ongoing hair loss would disqualify a person but yes- if hair loss stabilizes and a clear diagnosis is present it sometimes is possible. You’ll need many blood tests as well including hormone levels.
