Yaz has decreased my shed (Yasmin)

posted by Lee, 27.01.2007, 10:43

Hi Nicole,

I had never been on a bcp before, and figured that something that would increase my estrogen levels, and had a hormone that was identical to spironolactone (which they use to decrease dht) couldn't hurt.

Of course I still have hairs fall out, but that's always going to happen. However, I don't have crazy days where I feel like I could simply shake my head and 40 hairs would fall out. It's been much more consistent, and a lot of the tight, tingly, itchy scalp is gone. Keep me posted on how ur Yasmin is going. Do you have any side effects so far?

Im so glad to hear that it decreased your shed. I just was prescribed
ť Yasmin today, and in my head I was hoping it would decrease my shed. I
ť have a horrible shed! Im always losing hair!!

ť ť Hi,
ť ť
ť ť I went on Yaz, (and yes YAZ, not Yasmin) about two months ago, and
ť while
ť ť the other shoe could drop at some point, I can definitively tell you my
ť ť shed has decreased. When shampoosing in the shower, I would have hairs
ť ť all over my hands, probably at least 20, and then of course, in the
ť comb,
ť ť all over my shoulders, all day long. And of course, about every two
ť ť weeks, I could feel a tingly, and intense itching in my scalp, and a
ť large
ť ť shed would take place over the course of the day.
ť ť
ť ť Well, since starting Yaz, my scalp has been almost itch free, and I no
ť ť longer have those days where strands of hair are falling out all day
ť long.
ť ť In the shower I can wash my hair, comb through conditioner, and maybe
ť only
ť ť see five or six hairs come out. I can then comb the wet hair, and many
ť ť times no hairs are in the comb. And all day I'm not picking long hairs
ť ť off my shoulders.
ť ť
ť ť Once again, it's only been two months, but the tight, tingly, itchy
ť scalp
ť ť is gone, and I know that the amount of hairs falling out have decreased
ť by
ť ť at least half. At least.
ť ť
ť ť I will keep you posted to see if there is any hair regrowth. I am 25,
ť and
ť ť I would say I've experienced gradual hair loss for five years, and in
ť the
ť ť past six months it increased greatly!!! I lost a lot, a lot, a lot of
ť ť hair on the top of my head. However, the past two months have felt
ť ť "normal", and fingers crossed, perhaps some hair will stick in my head
ť ť while allowing new hairs to grow in.
ť ť
ť ť Take care,
ť ť Lee
