In women, a sudden rise in hair fall is usually linked to a hormonal or nutritional cause rather than a scalp problem itself. Thyroid imbalance, low iron or ferritin, low vitamin D, PCOS, a recent stressful illness, or a crash diet are the common culprits, and the shedding usually settles once the underlying cause is found and corrected.
Next Steps
It helps to get your thyroid levels, ferritin (not just haemoglobin) and vitamin D checked, along with a PCOS workup if your periods are irregular. Please consult a dermatologist or gynaecologist to go through these results and guide the right treatment.
Health Tips
Get it looked at sooner if you notice patchy bald spots, scalp redness or scarring, since that needs a different kind of evaluation.
