High sex drive = high testosterone = hair loss?

Prior to starting meds I think my sex drive was rather high. I was on spiro 25mg + lo loestrin for about 6 months and in that time my scalp was not as tender and the itchiness reduced and my sex drive went to what I felt was normal. I however was spotting between periods so the doc changed my birth control to Gildess. The spiro is still at 25mg. Since this change the itchiness on my scalp has become worse and my sex drive is way up in the stratosphere!!! (not so great when single) My question is does this mean my testosterone level have gone back up and will increase the hairloss? I really can't bear to loose more than I have and not only are the hairs in my head miniturizing the same is happening in my armpits - not shaved since beginning of dec and I barely have fuzz. Has anyone experienced this? I really feel desperate about this whole issue.

Hello The cause of itchy scalp and hair loss can be also due to hypothyroidism male pattern alopecia stress anxiety and taking certain medications. In your case it can be the change of birth control. Consult your doctor and get prescribed the previous birth control. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
