Hair fall
I am having hairfall and I recently started observing my hair parting line receding. Want to know what's happening with my health and also have some weight gain issues from childhood.
Easy to gain weight but hard to loose it.
Don't have any periods issue in case to think about pcos.
I live in uk right now, I want to get some blood tests done but not sure which one and how to consult gp regarding that
Hey there.
Since you live in the UK, getting through the NHS system is an ordeal
Good luck with getting tests done.
Hairfall can have a multitude of reasons and yes a good detailed history and assessment will be required to give you a clearer picture.
Stress is a major component in these cases and will appreciate a more in depth info on your lifestyle, stressors, work-life balance etc
Suggest an online video consult with good pics.
