Hi welcome to Health care magic forum.
Thanks for choosing H.C.M.F.
Your father is of age of 62 years, at this age it obvious to have hair fall due to low levels of testosteron harmone. Of course there is possibility of involvement of drugs also for hair loss.
Anaemia also may one of the causes of anaemia. Lack of lipids ant proteins also expected to be there inthat age group which can cause hair loss.
Of course it not wise to search for the causes of hair loss, we go for ways to stop hair loss and improve hair grouth.
If it is a masculine bald ness type of hair loss there is a drug minoxydil, with proved results. I advise you to consult a dermatologist, for finding out the cause and treatment.
Wishing for a quick recovery. If you have any doubts you can approach H.C.M.F. for clearing of doubts.
Best regards.
