hi everyone, I am 9 weeks post-op from hysterectomy and bladder repair. For the past few weeks (say 3-4), I have noticed I am losing a Lot of hair. A real lot. I spoke to my hairdresser and he said probably due to surgery and could continue for six months. I have also had UTI for past 4 weeks. I have thick hair so it's not noticeable and I wouldn't be worried except that it seems to be going on for quite a long while. Anyone else experience this?
Hi Carol
Sorry to hear about your hair loss. It's not something I've suffered from, and if I had I think I'd notice as my hair is very short, blond and there's not a lot of it and it's been like that for about 10 years Maybe it is just a post op condition and will lessen in time. Good luck with your recovery.
Thanks gill. Will see how I go. Due for another checkup in 3 weeks, so will see what the doctor says.
Hi Carolannfud:
I am only coming on 4 weeks post op after cystocele and rectocele surgery and have not experienced any hair loss yet, but my hairdresser told me that surgery can do that to your hair. Also, if you've had a hysterectomy, your hormones are changing and that could also easily be a factor.
Good luck! I'm sure you'll be feeling better soon.
