Excessive Hair fall from last 15 days
I am 25 year old Male. I begin to notice excessive hair fall from last 15 days. I am unable to understand the reason for my hair fall. Every time i wash my hair in the morning with water only, i could see almost 50 to 70 hair falls instantly. I have not experienced this problem before. I was 74 kg so i joined a Gym (May 2018) and since followed a diet of eggs(after gym), sprout chana(at breakfast), pulses (Lunch & Dinner)and 2 chapatis every day from last 3 months. Now i am 64 kg (lost 10 kg).
I had a skin allergy(Tenia versicolour) in the past but the problem is now cured after treatment. Also there is no history of baldness or any other hair related problem in my Family.
I started yoga(head stand) in the morning for circulation of blood towards my head.
Is there any chance that the weight loss or diet is related to my excessive hair fall or is it something else? What should i do to cure this problem? Please help me on this matter. Thanks in advance.

You are suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts receeding from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. It is usually accompanied by severe dandruff which we call seborrhoea. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is the best. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects of DHT on the hair roots. Please call me or contact me with photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment. Do not start treatment without consulting. I can give guidance and then you can continue treatment on your own.

Yes...You are suffering from hormonal changes causing telogen effluvium causing hair fall. It's completely stoppable even regrowth of hair is possible with certain medications without any side effects. Treatment depends on the grade of hair loss. So, it's a must for diagnosing which grade, you are in for an effective treatment. Please send photos of your head, by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.
