Can Toxicity Of The Copper IUD Used Causes Hair Loss?
I know that copper toxicity can cause hair loss. Being said, I also know that it takes an exorbitant amount of copper in your body to do so. Is it possible for a person to be more sensitive to copper and be negatively affected by the Paragard copper IUD in regards to hair loss? Is every persons tolerance to copper the same?

Hello Dear. Though copper toxicity in blood can cause hair loss, but IUD with copper doesnot cause any changes in the blood copper levels. It only causes hormonal changes in the uterine endometrium which makes implantation difficult. Hence there is no need to worry about copper T causing hair loss.
