Shortly after my hysterectomy,my hair began to shed. Then, I noticed a balding spot in the crown of my head. Is there a female balding conditions associated with hysterectomies? Any solutions or suggestions

The stress from surgery can cause hair loss in genetically prone women. If you had your ovaries removed, the changes in hormones may produce a imbalance which may lead to your hair loss. Women normally produce male hormones in small quantities and they are offset against the large amounts of female estrogens. With the ovaries gone, the balance is tipped and this could be the cause of your ‘male like’ crown hair loss. Speak with your doctor about hormone replacement therapy.
