Fractured foot 3 mos. ago and am now experiencing thinning hair. is hair loss related to fracture. also had a lot of stress. will hair grow back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: But stress, low thyroid, anemia, and several other things can cause thinning hair. Get a general checkup, ask for some tests and also be sure that you don't have osteoporosis as a cause for the fracture. Good luck!
