Suggest Treatment For Hair Fall
Question: I have hair fall.. please give me some suggestion.. and solution as well
Brief Answer:
Hair fall can have many causes
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
Hair fall can have many causes like dandruff, nutritional deficiencies, anemia, medicine use, hormonal changes, genetic (male pattern baldness), stress, illness, etc.
Losing upto 50 - 100 hair per day is normal. If it is in excess then medicine can be taken. Medicines like topical minoxidil can be tried if there is baldness. Do you have baldness? In which part of head is it happening? Have you tried something for it? Do you get dandruff?
Till we find a cause, you need to take care of your lifestyle as follows:
- Take a hygienic and nutritious diet and clean drinking water
- Vitamin supplements are not needed unless there is documented deficiency
- Biotin supplements are usually prescribed in hair loss
- Get your blood tests done to rule out common conditions like anemia, hypothyroidism, etc
- Do not use anti-dandruff shampoo as it may worsen the hair loss
- Can try ayurvedic hair oils that have brahmi etc
Hope it helps
