I have been experiencing severe hair fall for the past two months. I consulted a doctor, and my thyroid test was normal. I was given a vitamin tablet for one month, but there has been no improvement. My hair continues to fall heavily, and I feel like I have lost a large amount. What could be causing this, and what should I do to stop the hair fall?

Hair fall despite normal thyroid could be due to iron, vitamin deficiencies or stress. Check ferritin, B12, and D.

I am having tremendous hair fall, almost looks like all my hair is falling out. I have thyroid problems but it is controlled as I am taking Thyronorm 50. I am pregnant too. Do conditioners help in controlling hair fall?

I have been experiencing significant hair loss, which has led to visible balding patches. I recently underwent hormonal testing, and all results were normal except for low serum ferritin levels. My general physician prescribed Orofer to address the iron deficiency. However, since starting Orofer, I have noticed breakouts (pimples) and irregular periods, which were not an issue before. Could you please advise.

Whenever I comb or wash my hair, large amounts of hair come out. I did some tests recently, and the results are: Vitamin D: 29.52 ng/mL (low) Serum ferritin: 29.70 ng/mL Hemoglobin: 13.4 g/dL TSH: 1.074 microIU/mL What could be causing this hair loss, and what should I do to manage it?
