Yes, it does, and it's more likely to be the Prostap than the HRT. The HRT might balance it out a bit

It sucks being a woman, doesn't it? :(

My hair has always been thin and fine so you can imagine my joy when I started Prostap....

On the other hand, 20 years ago before Prostap and Zoladex were around we were given Danazol which cruelly tore the hair from our heads and, erm, elsewhere, and gave us a moustache (seriously, I have pictures from those days, I should have been working in a circus, not a bank), so in some ways I suppose we should be grateful for small mercies...

It might be worth mentioning it to the doctor although I'm not sure what they can do about it. I know that the relief I get from my courses of Prostap and Zoladex is immense and hair loss might be a small price to pay for some pain free time - but it seems cruel that when our problems are stemming from us being women, we're also robbed of our femininity :(

Hi guys, I've been on prostap for around three months, I had my third injection on Friday and my head won't stop spinning! Has anybody else had this? I lost some hair after my first jab but that has stopped, but I'm not on hrt either, was unsure whether to try it as people had given hrt bad reviews.

Hi StacieLou, you posted this back in November 12. How are things now? Are you still on prostap? I've had a heavy head and I'm on my 2nd injection. I feel drugged up all the time. Not with it. Completely out of it and my memory is very bad. Hot flushes are going through the roof! Let me know how you are. I hope much better!
