Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have lost a lot of hair, and there are many baby hairs near my headline. My hair was thick earlier, and now it has become thin. What is this condition? Can I solve this?

Answered by Dr. Gaurang Gupta

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I am delighted to be able to help you.

About 100 to 150 hair falls every day, and this is very normal. You should be concerned if the hair falls number is more than this. Generalized hair fall 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 roots. In rare instances, other conditions like fever, typhoid, malaria, and thyroid can also cause hair fall. I suggest you follow these steps

  1. Have a good sleep.
  2. Eat green vegetables and fruits.
  3. Take iron and multivitamins tablets for at least three months.
  4. Check your blood hemoglobin. If it is less, then iron and folic acid supplements should be taken.
  5. Check thyroid and diabetes to rule out other causes.

I hope I have answered your query.

Thanks and regards.
