Don't know what doctor to see for my hairloss?
by eva78, Dec 10, 2007 05:02PM
I'm a 29 year old women, who has excesive hairloss.
Since four years ago I've noticed that I was loosing my hair more than usual. 3 years ago I went to see a dermatologist but He only told me that I needed to wash my hair daily. I've got after an appointment with an endocrinologist and he did some blood test, but he only found that some of my hormones was a little bit low, so he gave me to take minovral (to control the level of that hormone I guess) and i have been taking it since then for three years. The problem is that i haven't noticed any changes and I don't know what to do or which doctor to see. I know if I keep loosing my hair the way it is now by the age of 40 I could be bold!! :(
Please doctors is there any other type of test that I could take to find out what could be the cause of my hair loss?
Thank you!

Do you know what hormones were a bit low? It could be your thyroid, if it's low, causing the hair loss.
