Question 1

Hi, I am a 24 year old female experiencing severe hair fall and thinning. I have already lost about 50 percent of the hair on my scalp. My doctor suggested blood tests, which came back normal, and has now prescribed Finasteride tablets. Is it safe for me to take Finasteride? I am planning to get married in the next 6 months, and I have heard it can have side effects. Please advise.

Question 2

I have been having hair problems for the last 1 year, with excessive hair fall. My blood test shows low vitamin D and vitamin B12. I have been taking Nutrilite Cal Mag D and vitamin B12 supplements for the past month, but I have not seen any improvement.
Due to WFH, I am living in Sangli, Maharashtra. I have also had some period related problems in the past 2 months. I think the hair loss may be due to hormonal imbalance. Please help me understand what I should do and which specialist I should consult to treat this issue/ Thank you.

Question 3

Please review my test report and advise me. I have been experiencing significant hair fall recently, and I had COVID in April. What could be causing this, and what steps should I take to manage it?

Hello mam, I had hair fall and leg pain, so I tested blood through Thyrocare. There are deficiencies of vitamin D, vitamin B12, and iron. Please check my report. Also, testosterone is 60.

Vitamin D, B12, and iron deficiency can cause fatigue, leg pain, and hair fall. Your testosterone is within low normal range. Supplements and diet can help consult your doctor for specific doses.
