I have been losing hair for 3 years now. I have done many products but nothing helped. Recently visited a doctor and he tested my blood and found lack of vitamin d3 and gave medicine and few products to use. Situation was better a bit but nothing satisfactory. Recently when then Dame doctor told to do me a USG because I was having acne, I came to know I have PCOD. Now my hair condition is worse. Can u please tell me if I am losing my hair because of PCOD and tel me what to do to to gain thik hair like before. I am getting engaged next year so please tell me ways so that I gain maximum hair in one year and specially my baldness and diminishing hairline can be brought back like before. Please help

Thanks for the query. FPHL (Female pattern hair loss) is an increasing problem in today's society. Hair care is a daily ritual shaped by age, gender and internal health. The treatment typically consists of topical lotion (Minoxidil). Based on the cause of hair loss, certain specific medications can also be started. It also depends on the age of the patient and if planning for conception or not. Various issues need to be decided before initiating the treatment. The dosage and duration is decided by your dermatologist. Hair fall treatment needs proper assessment to find the cause and to address it specifically. A trichoscan and trichogram are objective methods of assessment and is highy recommended, though it is difficult to find a clinic which offers that. Hair fall treatments consist of arresting the hair fall and subsequently adding density and improving the texture and quality. You need to be patient with the treatment protocol as it takes months to see initial improvement. Certain dermatologists supplement biotin, hair serum and advice procedures like PRP therapy which may accelerate the rate of hair growth. PRP needs multiple sessions roughly at 6 weeks intervals. PRP therapy is increasingly being accepted by dermatologists all over the world. Apart from active pharmaceutical medicines, a healthy diet and lifestyle is mandatory to achieve results. PCOS is a common diagnosis and many such patients have it.
Next Steps
Start on biotin supplements and food rich in iron content. Use a milder shampoo and consider frequent shampooing and conditioning.
