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.

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?

I am experiencing severe hair loss, with hair falling out in clumps. About 6 months ago, I was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries and borderline hypothyroidism. I took thyroid medication and managed to reverse my PCOD through diet and exercise (my periods are now regular, without medication or birth control). However, my hair has not grown since my last haircut about 7 months ago, and the hair loss is worsening. I am considering starting biotin supplements.
