#AskTheExpert hello doctor. My daughter recently diagnosed with turners syndrome and she is on growth hormone therapy. Can hormone therapy cause hair thinning?

A. Estrogen and progesterone can help keep your hair in the growing (anagen) phase. Therefore, these hormones can help your hair stay on your head longer and may even help your hair grow faster. This may be why many women notice their hair thinning starts to improve with estrogen replacement therapy.In general, there are few children who experience side effects from growth hormone. Side effects that have been described include severe headaches, hip problems, and problems at the injection site. To avoid scarring, you should place the injections at different sites. However, side effects are generally rare.
