We understand that you may have a lot on your mind when thinking through side effects of your treatment. Hair loss is a worrying concern for many people so let us help you get some clarity on how you may be effected.
Hormone therapies do not normally cause complete hair loss. Unfortunately, occasionally a side effect of these treatments can result in hair thinning, which means that hair may feel or look less voluminous. The hair can fall out when it reduces in volume but it doesn’t lead to baldness or complete hair loss.
Most of the time if
hair thinning does occur it may just need a change in style until treatment is complete and the hair returns. The good news is that it is very rare indeed for the hair thinning to reach an extent where a wig or complete head covering needs to be worn
