Hair Loss as a Result of Ovary removal
by morgan1803, Dec 31, 2008 02:14PM
My daughter was 16 when she had most of one of her ovaries removed due to a large (benign) cyst. She had a very thick full bodied head of hair before that point. Now it seems she is experiencing extreme hair loss and her hair is very thin. (PS She is also has been taking "Yaz" for about two years. Now at 19 I am very worried about her hair loss . What would be the cause? the surgery, the pill, both?? and what can be done to help. Thanks

I had one of my ovaries and a tube removed with my cysts and have had no problems with hair loss and have not heard that birth control pills cause that. I"m not sure if that might be a symptom of PCOS (there is another MedHelp forum for that) but regardless you should have her checked out by a doctor.
