For individuals whose work primarily involves a home-based setting, discussing proactive diagnostic testing with a healthcare provider can be beneficial. Certain lifestyle factors may impact nutrient levels and overall health, and testing can help in identifying underlying contributors to symptoms.
While hair thinning is often associated with the hormonal changes experienced after the age of 40, excessive hair loss may stem from a range of other potential factors or a combination of issues. A routine comprehensive blood panel is generally recommended to rule out underlying medical conditions beyond age-related hormonal shifts.

Hair fall and thinning after 40 are quite common, especially in women due to hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, or stress. Please get basic tests done — thyroid profile, hemoglobin, vitamin D, and B12 levels.
Meanwhile, you can start a biotin-based multivitamin (e.g., Hairbless, Follihair, or Biotin forte once daily after meals) along with a balanced protein-rich diet and adequate hydration.
Next Steps
If hair loss continues or you notice scalp thinning patches, consult a dermatologist for evaluation and possible use of minoxidil lotion or other specific treatments.

If your work requires you to stay at home most of the time, vitamin d3 and b12 tests are ideal along with cbc as it will help diagnose the root cause.
- Hairfall after 40s is a common thing due to the hormonal changes experienced but excessive hairfall may have other causes besides age as well as combination of more things so to rule that out routine blood work is required.
Hope you find this helpful and you can get back for further more consults in the future. Have a healthy day ahead🩺😊
Next Steps
Get a Cbc test done, Take diet rich in vitamin A,C,E 💊. Multivitamins are required after bloodwork if any deficiency found

Hello ma’am,
Hair fall and thinning after 40 are often due to hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies (especially iron, Vitamin D, and B12), or stress. Fatigue also suggests low iron or thyroid imbalance.
Next Steps
You can start with Follihair A tablet or Keraglo Eva tablet once daily after meals for 3 months — these contain essential vitamins like Biotin, Zinc, Iron, and Amino acids that strengthen hair roots and improve energy levels.
Also, get your Thyroid profile, Hb, Vitamin D, and B12 levels checked for a complete assessment.
For personalized prescription and hair regrowth plan, you can message me directly on WhatsApp at eight double zero nine eight two one double three two for detailed guidance.

noted!
this is a very common issue which I've dealt with quite a few times.
-your age is a factor which could be contributing to this
- i always recommend a simple blood workup for my patients--> this will allow to identify the root cause of your symptoms and can be managed likewise
- no harm in taking multi-vitamins but that would not guarantee to fix your complaint of fatigue and hair fall
feel free to reach out to me, i'd be happy to help!
for the time being you should eat healthy, sleep adequately and most importantly don't stress! 😊

Some hair fall and weakness can occur after 40, due to declining estrogen levels, increased demand for calcium and iron.
Get Haemoglobin, blood sugar, thyroid profile tested and share results.
Share if you have dandruff or some scalp problem, because that would need treatment, to stop hair fall. Massage head regularly with some natural oil like coconut or olive oil.
Take more of fresh green vegetables, fruits, milk products, protein in diet.
Take syp Maltviron 10ml morning and evening for 4 weeks. You can take proteinex powder , 2tsf into a glass of milk, one or 2 times daily.

Hello madam,
Although hair fall/ alopecia isn't associated with females, but since you are saying you have hair fall... I would like you to answer... If you have had any recent severe illness? If not.. Then it could be as simple as Hypothyroidism.
Biotin just does help with alopecia. But, finding the underlying cause matters more.
Next Steps
please get a TSH, t3, t4 done. consult if any further query
