bump to know exactly if low dose tamoxifen / raloifen could cause hair thinning ?
i know that women experienced it while on tamox
 
I take 10mg tamoxifen as a preventive measure for gyno. I have noticed hair loss and hair thinning.
Is it due to tamoxifen or trt.....?
 
I've off and on tamoxifen with the most recent bout being 10 mg 2x weekly and am experiencing the symptoms listed above, depression, low libido etc. even though at a lower dose. It does work great for gyno but I'd almost choose that over these side effect. Any suggestions?

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
