Severe Hair Loss. Need Treatment

Hi Doctor, I had very thick and long hair but about 1 year back I had lost almost all my hair so I had cut my hair. It took almost 1 year to grow and it has come little thick comparatively but again hair fall started. I cut my hair again. Please provide some solution to get rid of hair fall and re-growth aswell. Thanks Hema

Hello and welcome to health care magic. Thanks for your query.

There are so many factors which causes hair fall, once you detect the cause you can treat it
Losing about 30 to 50 stands of hair per day is normal for everybody.

Only if you are losing significant amount of hair and development of bald patch you need to consult dermatologist for help.

There are few conditions which causes excessive hair loss like infection of your scalp, , dandruff, stress, iron deficiency anemia, hypothyroidism, autoimmune disorders, hormones imbalance ( poly cystic ovarian disease ), using excessive chemical dyes, etc

I would suggest you to drink plenty of water, take balanced diet, wash your hair frequently, use mild shampoo, adequate rest and avoid stress by yoga or meditation.

Wish you all the best
Regards
