What Causes Hair Loss And Hair Thinning?

I have had hairfall for past two to three years now and my hair has gradually thinned down. I am only 27, female with fine, straight hair. However, recently, I shifted to the US and it has become even worse. I have been using Triagaine hair lotion for several months now but to no effect. Please help.

Hello,
Thank you for writing to HCM

Common causes of hair loss are anaemia, hyperthyroidism, low ferritin level, stress, poly cystic ovarian disease.

I would advice you to do few tests: serum ferritin level, thyroid profile and usg abdomen &pelvis.

Take Tab.biotin 5mg daily once for 3 months.
Use ducray Anaphase shampoo for hair wash, use twice a week.
Apply hairjoy lotion (minoxidil 5%& amenexil 1.5%) daily night before bed. Massage and wash your hands.

Consult a dermatologist in person with test reports.

Regards.
