Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 33-year-old female. My major problem is hair fall, and I am losing 20 to 25 strands of hair just like that. Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I feel you are suffering from Chronic Telogen Effluvium. Hair fall up to 50 to 60 hairs per day is normal. Nutritional deficiency is the commonest cause. Keep your hemoglobin level above 12g/dl. Are you taking Biotin containing hair supplements? Have dates and fresh vegetables and fruits rich in iron. Did you have severe illness in the recent past? Are you having dandruff issues? Are you having any periods problem? Water change will definitely be associated with hair loss. Please do the following lab tests and send the reports. Do CBC (complete blood count), serum ferritin, Vitamin D3 level, Vitamin B 12, T3 (triiodothyronine), T4 (thyroxine) and TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone). Because of water change, pollution, and stress all are having hair fall problems. Please start on tablet Follihair once a day after food and tablet Zincofer once a day in the morning after food. Use pure coconut oil.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
I am taking a healthy and well-balanced diet only. I am not taking any vitamins. Should I take biotin? I am taking fruits and vegetables every day. No periods problem, nor severe illness. No water change, but slight dandruff is there. I think being home and thinking too much cause stress. Last time you prescribed me Tricofol-W. I started but discontinued by mistake. Due to pandemic, we avoid going out and visiting your clinic or taking test is difficult for me.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Yes, everybody has stress-related hair fall. Please continue using Tricofol W or Tricogro or Trichoton forte, any one daily for three months.
