I am extremely worried about hair loss, I am 22 and have been on estradiol and spiro for just under a year. I guess my question is will the estrodiol and spiro prevent all, some, or none of hair loss?

hey, i think you don't have to worry about this, it is a very common problem now a days, i would advise you to change your shampoo and always oil your hair before shampoo, and if you would visit any good doctor then it would also be good for you.<not allowed>

Most hairloss is caused by DHT, which is made from Testosterone...  So the real question is how much testosterone is in your system?  If you're higher on the testosterone levels and you suspect a recieding hairline, then you can ask about adding Finasteride or Durdraside.  Both are DHT blockers.  Spironolactone works well for blocking testosterone and eventually it will cause your body to limit it's testosterone production.  No Testosterone no DHT... no DHT hairloss.
