Increase of hair fall
Good evening doctor.
I'm having hair fall since I've come to Bangalore which is 10-12 years but it was still bearable but since 3 years hair fall has increased and I can now see widening of partion esp in the crown region,I had started minoxidil 5 percent last year and continued for 5 months before quiting it,I don't know if new hair grew or not but hair fall didn't reduce after 2 months of using it . So I discontinued ...now again hair fall have started since 2 months,I might be loosing something around 100-200 hair per day. Kindly suggest what to do.
Apart from hairfall,I have no systemic condition,thyroid levels are fine,no pcods

Hormonal imbalance including external factors like heavy water can induce hair fall , you should have. Started minoxidil 2% with some multivitamin
Hope your vitamin D , B12 and calcium levels are fine , also if you could elaborate bit on your lifestyle and weight - gain /loss recently-
Hair go under shading phase but it should not stay for long
