What causes hair loss in young women despite treatment?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. It seems you have female pattern hair loss in which 75 to 100 hair falls every day is very normal. So, it should be considered as hair loss only if the number of hair falls 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 root and cause hair fall. Straightening and other procedures also cause weakness in the roots. Other conditions like fever, typhoid, malaria, thyroid, etc., can also cause hair fall, but these are less common.

Regarding treatment, I would suggest you have good sleep, eat proper food with green vegetables and fruits, and take multivitamins for at least three months. I would also suggest you get your blood hemoglobin test done. If it is less, then you should start an iron and folic acid supplement. Also, check thyroid and diabetes to rule out other causes. You can use a hair serum daily morning local application and gel 2% Minoxidil 0.3 oz during the night, take tablets of multivitamins (biotin, copper, iron, selenium, zinc. L-Cysteine, L-Lysine, methionine) once daily for three months.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Regards.
