Too much hairfall
Hi doctors,
Me and my family is facing hairfall problems which is not normal as the volume is too much. I would like to give you our background so that it might help you figure out. Our family was covid infected in the month of March which leaded some of our family members to go through ICU. I believe the hairfall is due to this reason. But this issue started after 2 months later when we were cured. Also, I was cured by eating vitamins so not sure how covid impacted my hairfall. We also thought it is because of hard water so we changed the water but it didn't work out.
Please could you tell what should we do to take care of our hair as the volume is too much? We need to take care of it as soon as possible. So any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Archana Singha

This condition is called Telogen Effluvium. It's a reversible condition in which hair falls out after a stressful experience.
The stress pushes large numbers of hair follicles into a resting phase. Within a few months, those hairs can fall out. Types of stress can include any hormonal issues like thyroid or any major illness like u mentioned, thats Covid. It's a reversible condition but needs to b treated to prevent further hair loss.
