Question 1

Hi. I am having hair fall from all over the scalp. I got T3, T4, TSH and DHT tested and the reports were normal. I have also enclosed my DHT test report. Could you please help me with this?

Question 2

I am a 23 year old male experiencing excessive hair loss for the past year. Initially, I thought it might be due to a drastic change in my diet after moving away from my hometown for work, where I was not eating very healthily. However, over time I noticed that my hair loss became more severe, my hair density reduced significantly, and at times, my scalp became visible. Concerned about this, I consulted a trichologist a month ago. After examining me, she initially suspected male pattern baldness and asked if I had a family history of baldness, which I do not. She then recommended tests including CBC, TSH, and Ferritin.

Question 3

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?

Low ferritin can cause hair loss. Orofer helps but may cause minor side effects. Consider discussing alternative iron supplements and Biotin with your doctor.
