Brief Answer: treat the underlying cause Detailed Answer: Hello, The hair fall could be due to acute stress in the past 3 weeks. If it is stress, you must get rid of the stress. Other causes are low Hemoglobin, thyroid dysfunction that needs to be treated accordingly to get over the hairfall. I would suggest you to get a complete blood count test done along with Thyroid function test. Regards,
