Anemia due to heavy period

Posted , 4 users are following.

I have been severely anemic for over 10 yr. As a result I have many symptoms and side effects due to this. The number 1 problem that has gotten worse is hair loss. My doc thinks thats a possible reason for losing all my hair over the yrs. Recently I decided to take birth control to fix the anemia. I am wondering will fixing the anemia help my hair grow back. If so how long will it take?
