What Causes Hair Fall?

default
Posted on Mon, 14 Apr 2014
Question: Hello Sir, I am a 25 year old. I have been suffering from Hair Loss since the past 6 months and it has aggravated a lot in the past 3 months. I find my hair has thinned. It was very thick just a few months back. I am unable to understand the reason for such a severe hair fall suddenly. I used to apply GEL to my hair on wet hair before. And I did it for around 1 year. I am assuming that it might be a reason for my hair damage. Kindly let me know the proper treatment for controlling hair fall now and also please clarify if I can regain my lost hairs and Hair thickness . Thanks a lot in advance for your service. Have a nice day.

Brief Answer: Hair loss causes and treatment Detailed Answer: Hello dear, Welcome to healthcaremagic. I have read your query and understood your concern. Hair fall can be due to many reasons like: 1. recent illness in past 6 months 2. physical or mental stress, 3. genetic, 4. nutritional deficiencies, 5. anaemia, 6. thyroid disorders, 7. hormonal 8. inadequate sleep I will like to know whether there is any history relevant to the above mentioned causes? I will also like to know whether the hair loss is in particular pattern as usually found in males or there is diffuse hair loss on the scalp? I will also like to know your hemoglobin levels and serum ferritin levels? How about your thyroid profile? Is there any history of patterned hair loss in family? Kindly reply to my questions because if a certain cause if found, that will also be helpful in treating the condition. I will also advice you to attach a pic of the scalp so that i can see what type of hair loss you are having. If it is patterned hair loss, treatment for it is entirely different. Good luck.
