Hi,
Thank you for posting in your query.
What I gather from your question is that you are very concerned about your hair fall which started about a month back.
There could be many reasons for hair fall like excessive dandruff, fungal infections of the scalp, anemia, hypothyroidism, chronic illnesses, following child birth, stress, etc.
‘Tugain 5% solution’ is usually prescribed for people who suffer from male pattern baldness and is to be started only after evaluating the causes of hair fall.
You have given a history for hypothyroidism 3 years back and also history of having suffered from typhoid. Both of these could actually be a cause for your hair loss
My suggestions to you are:
1. Get the following blood tests done:
A. CBC (Complete blood count esp. Hemoglobin and ESR)
B. Serum TSH level (thyroid function test)
You may get these tests done under the guidance of your physician.
2. Eat a balanced diet.
3. Get a minimum of 7 hours of good un-interrupted sleep
4. Drink adequate amount of water (2 - 3 litres/day)
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available for any follow up questions.
Regards,
Dr Gowri
