Hi,

Welcome to Icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. I would like to explain about hair fall. 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. Straightening and other procedure also causes weakness of the hair roots. Other conditions like fever, typhoid, malaria, thyroid, etc., can also cause hair fall, but these are less common. In males, most of the cases are of androgenic alopecia. It is a genetically determined disorder characterized by the gradual conversion of terminal hairs into indeterminate, and finally into vellus hairs. In your condition, since you have already lost a lot of hair you can go for PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy with 5 percent Minoxidil 1ml local application twice daily (with this for an initial two months you may feel an increase in hair fall but do not discontinue it). Consult your doctor and take the medicine accordingly.

I hope this information will help you.

Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
