Can SHBG level of 332 in a women cause major hair loss/thinning? & will stopping YAZ possibly help with the problem?

Lyd777
I'm currently on the Yaz pill, have been for two years, and have been experiencing major hair loss/thinning during this time. Bloodwork shows I have a SHBG level of 332. Can this high level SHBG cause the hair loss that I'm experiencing? I'm also on Androcur 10 mg to help with the hair loss, but it doesn't seem to be working, I've been on it for 6 months now, and hair loss has actually worsened. Dermatologist prescribed me the medication, but did so without any tests being done. Thank you.
