What do you like about this subject?

Hair loss is a stressful thing to have happen to you whether man or woman. The earliest known prescription is from the Ebers Papyrus taken from medical information 5,000 years old. Of course you would have to pray to the Sun God and rub an ointment your head at the same time.

Estrogens do not cause hair loss. It is the androgens stimulating loss. Stress causing Telogen Effluvium, your history of ongoing PCOS and your inherited pattern of AGA are what is causing the loss.
