Q. Can the increased hair loss in me be related to the peri-pubertal hormone changes?
Hello doctor,
I have the problem of a sudden increase in hair fall, 200 to 300 strands per day for the past month. I have not taken any medication till now. Before, I occasionally took Astymin Forte multivitamin capsules for one to two weeks to reduce hair fall. It did not help. My thyroid is normal, and I do not have diabetes or hypertension. Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Your hair fall is due to the peri-pubertal period. Check your serum ferritin level because iron deficiency and hormonal imbalance cause hair fall.
Thank you doctor for the reply,
I have attached the test report. Please suggest the causes and treatment.
Hi,

From the report attached (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity), you have vitamin D deficiency. I suggest vitamin D supplements for two months to prevent hair loss.
