Significant Hair Loss within few months

2017-04-01 19:40:39
Hi, I am a final year student and going through a lot of stress of career. I remain stressed out, often experience mood swings, feel irritated, disheartened, curse for the wrong decisions in past or some mistakes. Along with this, I have a genetic pattern of baldness in family with all my paternal relatives being bald including my uncles and cousins. My maternal brother is not bald, but his father was. I force myself in a restrained mood not to be irritated, and stuff i wrote above, which has made me more self conscious. The hair fall pattern is forming a curve above forehead. I have improved my diet with taking vitamin c, doubled my milk intake, lentils and reduced carbs. Started taking dry fruits. I am also having a problem of overthinking. Often while being involved in an activity and someone talks to me, I often cannot hear until I am physically attentive towards them. Few tips to improve these would help a lot. Thanks.

Thanks for the query. Male pattern baldness (MPB) is an increasing problem in today's society. Hair care is a daily ritual shaped by age, gender, socioeconomic status and internal health. With increasing affordability people are more aware of the cosmetic appearance and hair fall forms a major part of the complaints. It is more difficult to manage if there is a family member with similar hair fall, it indicates genetics and we know that the person is destined to lose hair if not intervened and corrective measures are not taken. The treatment typically consists of usage of oral medication (Finasteride) and topical lotion (Minoxidil in 5% strength). One needs to be patient with the treatment protocol as it takes months to see initial improvement. Minoxidil is recommended by US-FDA for indefinite usage. Certain dermatologists supplement biotin, hair serum and advice procedures like PRP therapy which may accelerate the rate of hair growth. PRP needs multiple sessions (4-6) roughly at 6 weeks intervals. PRP therapy is increasingly being accepted by dermatologists all over the world. Apart from active pharmaceutical medicines, a healthy diet and lifestyle is mandatory to achieve results.

Next Steps
Start on biotin supplements and food rich in iron content. Use a milder shampoo and consider frequent shampooing and conditioning.
