Does Progesterone Cause Thinning Of Hair?

I m taking a bio identical progesterone pill because I was diagnosed with estrogen dominance . I ve noticed that my hair has thinned dramatically over the course of two years and it seemed that when I stopped taking progesterone for 6months my hair started to thickened again. Is it possible that the pill caused my hair to fall out?

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Hair fall is mainly due to protein & vitamin deficiency.
So take proper diet rich in protein & anti-oxidant.
Take care
