What Causes Excess Hair Loss While Suffering From Ovarian Cysts?
Hello. My 27 yr old daughter has cysts on her uterus and 1 remaining ovary. She lost her first ovary 8 years ago from the same problem. Tests were done, cancer was ruled out. I do not know what medication she is on. Her hair (on her head) started falling out. She was told it is because of her tumors are blocking nutrients to her scalp. She now has no hair. She didnt let me go to the doctors with her, and quite frankly, I dont know what to do for her. I suggested she get a hysterectomy, she said no. She already has 3 children. Can you give me an educated guess on what is going on with her?

Hello dear from my opinion I am suggesting that your daughter has a malignant tumor that has spread she is on chemotherapy and one of the side effects of the drug is loss of scalp hair cancer and not really from cancer cells distributed on her scalp
