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?

Hair fall in pregnancy can feel overwhelming, even if your thyroid is controlled with Thyronorm 50. Hormonal changes plus low Vitamin D, iron, or B12 may be causing the issue. Conditioners help with breakage and dryness, but they dont treat internal causes. Stick to gentle, paraben free products and avoid heavy styling. A few simple blood tests can help identify if any deficiencies are contributing to the hair loss.

View allI 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.

I have been suffering from hair fall for the past 3 months. It started suddenly. Whenever I comb my hair around 60 to 70 strands fall. For the past 3 weeks I was using minoxidil and it reduced my hair fall by 50 percent but after I stopped using minoxidil for a week my hair fall increased and became worse. My blood report is also normal. Please suggest what should I do?

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.
