Lupron and Hair Loss
Posted over a year ago
I had a shot of lupron early May for treatment of irregular bleeding. I had the shot and a procedure called hydro thermal ablation. My question is, could the lupron be what is causing my hair loss? I have always had thick hair. Since I had the shot,my hair is very thin. My scalp is showing!! Will my hair come bacK? the only other side effect I had was hot flashes which seem to be letting up. Thanks.
Bob Skye - I am a sixty three year-old male recently treated for prostate cancer with the insertion of radioactive needles ("seeds"). Since then, I am having hormone treatment to assure that no 'stray' cancer cells are allowed to grow. I've been taking intramuscular injections of Lupron for one and one-half years. One day I noticed that every single hair on my was gone-- except , strangely, my prodigious beard and thin the thin gray hair in my head. Just recently I discovered that my nasal hairs are also gone...and THAT' is dangerous. I', wondering if any men have suffered from hair loss due to Lupron
