What is the treatment for severe hair fall?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
The hair follicles are coming out and I am afraid of the hair loss. It is getting worse and worse. Kindly recommend to me which shampoos and conditioners to use.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understand your concern.
The causes of hall fall can be due to the following reasons:
- 100 to 150 hair falls every day is very normal. So it should be considered hair fall if the number of hair is more than this.
- Generalized hair falls in females are mostly due to stress, poor sleep, poor nutrition, and excessive blood loss due to menstruation.
- Stress alopecia is also common in which female keeps their hair very tight in a certain manner which creates tension in the root and causes hair fall.
- Straightening and other procedures also cause weakness in the root
- Other conditions like fever, typhoid, malaria, thyroid, etc also cause hair fall.
The treatment includes:
- Have good sleep, food, green vegetables, and fruits.
- Take iron and multivitamins like the tablet Follihair for at least three months.
- Check your blood hemoglobin, if it is less, iron and folic acid supplements should be started.
- Check thyroid and diabetes to rule out other causes.
Thank you for consulting me.
