Guest guest Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Sonya, Yes, iron deficiency anemia can contribute to hair loss. I've been anemic for years and my hair is about 2/3 of what it used to be. I've been taking iron supplements, had a myo, and now no longer anemic. I am hoping for more normal hair growth soon. Jackie ?????????????????????????????? Hey Ladies, I am scheduled for a myo on 5/19...and I hope that solves most of the problems I have with my period..I do have a problem where im eating lots & lots & lots of ice...I eat about 2 bags og ice a week...so the grocery store is making good money off of me just buying ice. Any who....I know thats probably an indication that Im anemic..but is hair loss an indication as well..I could comb my hair 5 times in one sitting & each time i comb out a big wad of hair...my beautician sys its my hair shedding...but i think its more serious than that. What do you guys think???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 I'm pretty sure hair loss can be associated with anemia. -Mindy > I am scheduled for a myo on 5/19...and I hope that solves most of the problems I have with my period..I do have a problem where im eating lots & lots & lots of ice buying ice.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Totally unscientific reply- but my fibroids were diagnosed as something way more serious early on and that stress caused my hair to fall out for a few weeks. After myo surgery I was borderline anemic (10.7)but didn't crave ice.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Hi, What was your blood level like post myo? I am anemic and would like to know how far I need to be before surgery thanks. jangulatti jangulatti@...> wrote: Totally unscientific reply- but my fibroids were diagnosed as something way more serious early on and that stress caused my hair to fall out for a few weeks.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 My GP said (1 week) post surgery that I was 10.7 after doing a finger prick test and that I didn't need the iron pills the surgeon prescribed, just red meat and broccoli. just had blood work in today and I'm not anemic but bleeding is much heavier now so was suprised. I had huge fibroids in bad places but bleeding was not an issue pre myo. best wishes, Jan G > Hi, > > What was your blood level like post myo?
