Vagifem and hair loss?

Posted , 4 users are following.

Is anyone experiencing any hair loss while using Vagifem for Atrophic Vaginitis?  It has been wonderful for taking away discomfort but I have been noticing my hair shedding for several months.  I will ask my GYN if that is the cause of hair loss.  I just pray it's not as it works so well for the AV!

    Hi Wendy.

    I have read somewhere that this is a side effect of Vagifem.

    Could be,

    but when I went thru menopause and even now 8 years later, my hair has gotten much thinner. Hormone loss has a lot to do with it. I now take Biotin 100mg everyday. It has taken alsmost a year, but I do feel it has helped.

    No problem with hair loss at all. I've taken Estrace cream and now yuvafem since last August. I have gained weight though without any change in my diet.
