Severe hair fall since July end
On July 10th I was admitted for endometrial pain and the doctor put me on lupride depot 3.75 mg injection and pain killers. That put me on a menopausal stage so I didn't go back for further treatment. However a couple of weeks later I noticed hair loss in the shower, my comb and while oiling. I was also on a cholesterol reducing medicine for a while.
This hair fall is happening all of a sudden and it's not stopping, kindly let me know what could be the problem. Also I'm losing significant weight and I've vitamin D and B 12 deficiencies. I've had work stress as well for which I had to quit my job.
