Could Hair Loss Be Due To Implanon?

Hi I've had implanon for nearly one year and in that year i noticed a gradual thinning of my hair, I ignored it at first but now its starting to get more noticeable! My hair was really thick before the implanon was inserted and now its really thin. If i got the implanon removed will my hair grow back??

hi there.
1. your concern is termed as acute telogen effluvium.
2. any stress 3-4 months back will reflect as hair fall.
3. it's a recoverable hair loss.
4. still you can try quilib men 5 sprays daily bed time and neutriderm anti hair loss shampoo weekly twice until hair fall controlled.
have diet rich in proteins like egg white and sprouts.
this may help you
