Doctor,3 months ago I had a gallbladder removal,also had previously hypothyroidism, now fatty liver and some anxiety problems.Its been a month since I started witnessing extreme hairfall. Hair is falling out from the roots and bulb .Every time I comb or touch it, long hairs break along with the bulb.Hands reach out to remove the fallen hair, but the hair keeps falling out. The white line between the hairs has increased.The hair has become very thin.What could be the reason for this, what should I do?
