Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 27-year-old female suffering from extreme hair loss for the past one year. Also, my hair is very rough and dry. What to do? Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern. Your reports show insufficient vitamin D intake(attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). So I suggest you follow the; instructions mentioned below. Take an Ecomax D3 (dietary supplement) sachet once a week in a glass of milk for six weeks. Take tablet Shelcal (vitamin D3 and calcium) 500 mg once a day for 15 days. Take capsule Perfectil plus (micronutrient, vitamin, and mineral) twice daily after food for 30 days. Use X-gain (protein-infused anti-hair fall shampoo) shampoo twice weekly for four weeks. Consume protein-rich food, which is essential for hair growth. Eat eggs, fish, curd, milk, lentils, chicken, etc. Also include paneer, pulses, walnuts, and almonds. Avoid oiling your hair frequently. Never comb wet hair. Avoid hot showers. Avoid tight hairstyles. Avoid using harsh shampoos loaded with chemicals. Avoid hairstyles that use hot iron straighteners or hair dryers. Drink a glass of carrot juice. Improve your diet, as nutrition is key to healthy hair. Avoid stress. Also, check your iron profile, Hb (hemoglobin) profile, and serum ferritin levels. Kindly follow up with the reports. Take care.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
