A member asked:
Does loestrin fe 1/20 (microgestin fe 1/20) cause hair thinning ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hair loss: While birth control pills may not affect your scalp hair at all, they can do so if you have a genetic predisposition to hormonal hair loss and/or a follicle sensitivity to androgens (male hormones). LoEstrin is among the high androgenic pill types. Ovcon is a better choice for you, or try a non hormonal choice. DrG
