Does the IUD Cause Hair Loss

“Many women on IUDs experience hair loss. Too often, when women tell their doctors about side effects on the IUD, their doctors tell them it’s all a part of the experience. Just wait it out, and things will settle. This is normal for your age. Or it’s your hormones, not the device. When it comes to the IUD side effect of hair loss, many IUD users are told similar things. But the fact is, that yes, IUDs can cause hair loss.

Women who are experiencing hair loss should discuss with their doctor to find out the cause. If a woman is experiencing hair thinning or hair loss after getting an IUD, and she didn’t have hair loss before that, it is possible that her hair loss is a direct result of having the IUD inserted. “
