Can The Medicine Flomist Cause Hairfall?

hi im 25 years old and using flomist, recently i noticed my hair falling out more than normal. could this be a side effect of flomist? i am 1.74 cm tall and weigh 67.4 kg. recently diagnosed with endometrioses, my overies are a liitle bit bigger than thei should be, my gynie says i should go onto a hormonal injection, to stop my periods completely, this will decrease the size of the endo, is that really my only option?

Hi,

Chronic use of fluticasone can cause hair fall but I think endometriosis is the reason for you losing yr hair, as endometriosis is hyperestrogenic state and excess estrogen can get converted into testosterone which can lead to male pattern baldness.

Endometriosis is not a curable disease, you have to accept this first, it can only be controlled by medications, yr dr is recommending medroxyprogestrone probably which is 3 monthly injection, it is best inj for controlling it unless there are surgical indications, then only we can recommend surgery. Maintain good mental health because such patients are liable to get depressed , except the reality, for full consultation, do call or text -available these days.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
