Extreme Hair Fall
It's been over 5 months now that I'm having extreme hairfall. It has never been this way before! My hair is rapidly thinning and I do not know what to do about it. I got my thyroid checked but that's within normal ranges. I recently moved to a new city so i though it might be due to the change of environment.. it's still the same now. I tried homeopathic medicine but it did not work. Please help me with it.

Normally 50 to 100 hair fall happens everyday. But if its more than that we call it as telogen effluvium. The reasons could be past 6 months if you have suffered from major illness like dengue, tyhoid, etc, major surgeries, stress, hormonal imbalance,  nutritional deficiencies like iron deficiency or vit b 12 deficiency etc. So check the Hb, thyroid. In females we have to rule out PCOS, so get ultrasound done. Peptide serums available,oral biotin supplements help in hair loss. Myth about hair loss is shampooing doesn't cause hair fall or hair growth or greying of hair. It just cleans your scalp. Change of Environment or water doesn't cause hair loss  If your hair thinnning s too much then it could be female pattern baldness. You have to use minoxidil 5% solution morning and night with above medications.
