Can the implant make your hair fall out?

Yes, hormonal implants can sometimes cause hair loss due to the progestin hormone, which can have androgenic effects. I went to a dermatologist at Fortis Hospital for my hair thinning post-contraceptive use. They did some blood tests and advised me to discuss removing the implant with my gynecologist.

Oh my god, yes, I have been reading so many forums about contraceptive implants and hair loss, and now I am super terrified myself! Some people say the hormonal shift triggers hair thinning. If you are noticing major shedding, maybe we should both talk to our gynecologists about alternative options, I am so worried for you.

I completely understand how stressful and scary it is to see your hair falling out after getting an implant; it can make you feel so helpless. Hormonal changes can definitely trigger a temporary shedding phase. Please validate your feelings, take a deep breath, and make an appointment with your doctor to discuss this safely.

Before you spend thousands on expensive hair fall treatments or organic oils, get a basic thyroid and iron panel done, which costs around 800-1000 rupees. If those are normal, then the implant's hormones are likely the cause. Planning a doctor's visit to discuss removal might save you a lot of money in the long run.

I was actually researching about getting the hormonal implant recently and came across several reviews mentioning hair thinning as a side effect. It seems the progestin can cause this in some women. Did your doctor mention this risk before putting it in? I am really curious to know.
