Does slynd cause hair loss?

Question

I recently started taking Slynd for birth control, and I've noticed some increased hair shedding. I'm worried it might be a side effect of the pill. Does Slynd commonly cause hair loss?

Priyanka Patel · Accepted Answer

I have PCOS and my doctor put me on Slynd a few months back. I was terrified of losing hair because of the hormones, but luckily my hair density has been fine so far. Everyone's body reacts so differently to progesterone-only pills, so please keep your doc in the loop if you notice changes.

Oh god, if I worry about every possible side effect printed on medication boxes, I would lose all my hair just from the stress! I've been on Slynd for half a year and my ponytail is still as thick as ever. Don't worry too much, just keep some extra hair clips ready just in case!

Rohan Gupta · Answer

I read so many forums about this medication because my partner was prescribed it, and honestly, the side effects list online made me panic. Some people swear it caused shedding while others said it helped their hair. It is so stressful to decide, but maybe watch your scalp closely for a month and write down any changes.

Please do not go by random forum posts or home remedies for hormonal medications like Slynd. Hair shedding can happen due to thyroid issues, iron deficiency, or just the body adjusting to a new pill. You should discuss this directly with your gynecologist instead of worrying online.

My wife tracks all her symptoms on an app, and we noticed a slight increase in hair shedding during the first two months of starting this pill. After the third cycle, her hormone levels stabilized and the shedding went back to normal. Try logging your daily hairfall and cycle details on a tracking app to see if there is a real pattern.
