Surgical menopause -- 33 years old - hair loss?

Hello! I had a total hysterectomy about three months ago. I immediately had hot flashes, night sweats, all the good stuff.... after about six weeks of misery, I went to my doctor and he put me on Premarin (hormone replacement). Now it seems that I'm experiencing hair loss - i've had it for quite a while, but it's becoming noticeable now and it's still happening. I can't decide if the Premarin is fixing it, or if it's causing it! Any ideas? I don't have any other side effects from the Premarin that I can tell. i've seen that hair loss is a side effect of surgically induced menopause, so maybe I just haven't been on the medicine long enough to fix it?Surgical menopause -- 33 years old - hair loss?
Premarin won't cause hair loss but you might need to add DHEA and testosterone for hormone balance. Your hair should improve but you have had major surgery and surgical menopause so your system needs time to recover. When a person suffers trauma the hair and skin is the first to suffer as the body diverts resources to essential functions. Ask your doctor for a referral to an endocrinologist or menopause clinic to get your hormones properly balanced.


My mother had a similar experience to you and used Premarin and her hair was fine - however she didn't endure six weeks of surgical menopause before I forced her to see the doctor and get her hormones sorted out.
