A member asked:

If ive been on one birth control pill for 10 years do i need to worry about hair loss? do your hair follicles become more sensitive to androgens as you age? im on a androgen heavy pill and didnt know if i should switch prescriptionsto be proactive?

What type of contraceptive have you taken? Hair loss is not a common side effect of contraceptives as I know. Take care.

The amount of androgen in your BC pill should not lead to hair loss. Best is to consult and use the best pill in your situation as recommended by your Gyn for he/she knows you best. good luck.
