What Causes Underweight Along With Premature Grey Hair?
Hi, I am 30 years old male. My height is 5 '8 and my weight is 47 kgs which is very much underweight. Been underweight from childhood and my hair has turned fully grey and my beard is also starting to get grey. What could be the problem ? Should I visit an endocrinologist or a gastroentologist ?
