Hair fall and thinning in women is usually hormonal or nutritional rather than true pattern baldness. Common triggers are a
thyroid problem, low iron stores, low
vitamin D, PCOS, or stress-related shedding after an illness or a crash diet. It is not something to worry about long term in most cases.
Next Steps
Ask for a
ferritin level specifically, since a normal haemoglobin does not rule out low iron stores, along with a
thyroid and
vitamin D check. Mention the abdominal pain too, so it gets looked at separately.
Health Tips
Shedding like this usually settles over a few months once the cause is treated. Please consult a dermatologist or gynaecologist for the right tests.
