Hair loss 2 weeks after op help!!!!

hi guys,
I had a L.A.V.H 2 weeks ago, for the last 3 months i've been on Zoladex injections to shrink my humungous fibroids, and also after my c.section 8 years ago my stomach was sewn together and this is the reason for the L.A.V.H.

I noticed that my hair was thinning with the zoladex injections but after my 6 hour op. a few weeks later, i now have a patch of missing hair on my head. Has anybody out there experienced this? and if so could you plz kindly help me as im about to go insane

My hair lady told me that general anesthesia does weird things to your hair, including that some will probably fall out 2- 3 months after surgery. Maybe yours got a head start because of the zoladex? (OK, sorry- the pun was not intended.)
Not much to help, but perhaps an explanation for you.

Yep, that kinda happened to me, too. I attributed it to the anaesthesia and preop anemia. It's all good now.
