Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi...

It seems that you may be having a condition known as telogen effluvium. It is condition in which the hairs fall in telogen stage of hair cycle. The causes may be many like. ...tension,anxiety,thyroid diseases, endocrinal diseases, hormonal diseases, diseases like typhoid, malaria,viral diseases,surgery,trauma,drugs like anticancer ..methotraxate ,internal diseases,anaemia,nutritional deficiencies..... etc might precipitate the disease. Excessive sun exposure may be resposible for the disease. Dandruff may be responsible..it should be ruled out. If it is there, ketoconazole shampoo may be done. You consult dermatologist.
You have ovarian cyst..you must have consulted gynaecologist..take treatment as she suggests.

Investigations may be done to rule out thyroid disease, internal diseases. If they are there,proper treatment may be taken.

Nutritional diet may be taken. Tab Biotin 10 mg daily may be taken for long time. vitamin E cap 400 mg daily may be taken. And also take iron, calcium, zinc..etc in proper dose. Mild steroid lotion may be applied on the scalp daily at night.
Mild herbal shampoo may be done twice a week. Oil like almond may be applied on hairs to improve hair shaft quality.
Be confident for good result.. Have patience..as the good result takes time. Avoid tesion and worries. Be positive. You may feel better after few months treatment. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
