Hi Doctor, this is Santosh. I recently had a dihydrotestosterone blood test done because of hair loss. Today I received my report, and the result is 779 pg/mL (reference range: 250 to 990). Is this considered normal, or do I need to take any medication for it? Please advise.

DHT level of 779 pg/ml is within the normal range. Hair loss may be due to genetics, stress, or poor nutrition. Maintain a balanced diet, reduce stress, and consult a dermatologist for treatment options.

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?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

How can I find out the exact reason for hair loss? I have tried many treatments, but nothing works. My thyroid test is normal in the last report, but still there is no improvement in hair loss. The condition is getting worse day by day. I also have a dandruff problem.

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?
