Hair fall & tangling after iron therapy
Hello, I am a 24 yo female, I was on iron capsules in the previous 3 months for treating iron deficiency anemia.
after 2 months of iron intake my hair starts falling in a progressive manner and becomes incredibly knotted when wet, it takes me about an hour to brush it after a shower! (previously it'd take only 10 min). I stopped the iron tablets but the tangling and falling is progressively deteriorating.
(tangling doesn't resolve by combing before shower,or during shower,or by conditioners!)

Not because of the tablets..You are suffering from hormonal changes causing Androgenetic alopecia 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 for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.
