Yes... depends on the grade...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.

We need to find underlying cause. There can be other treatment options like mesotherapy and PRP if you have compliance issues with minoxidil. You can consult online or if hairfall is not severe you can come at clinic after lockdown
