I'm currently on Zoladex injections and Enzalutamide tablets and have noticed significant hair regrowth in areas that were previously thinning. Now, in my 70's, I have a full head of grey hair. Has anyone else experienced this while on these medications?

  • Hi Jonney. Well observed. The hormone therapy affects the levels of Testosterone and DHT in the body with the latter being associated with effects on hair follicles. My husband also now has a good head of hair and since having chemotherapy it has come back darker and more unruly than it was before. The hairdresser has benefitted from the extra visits.

  • I've only had Zoladex (3 monthly over 2 years), and the result has been the opposite. I no longer have chest/back hair, leg hair or much pubic hair (the source of much hilarity for my partner....). My head is now close to devoid of anything resembling hair.

  • Grown back on my head and fallen out pretty much everywhere else - go figure!
