I had an accident last year in December due to which I got five stitches on my scalp. After recovery, I had severe hair fall which later got controlled. In the month of March, I took a hair spa. Since then, I have been having severe hair fall. I consulted a doctor and underwent thyroid and other hormonal tests. I also took medicines for three months but there has been no improvement?

Hair fall post accident and spa could be due to telogen effluvium (stress related). If thyroid and hormone tests were normal, recheck iron and Vitamin D. Hair fall can take months to reverse. Serum Ferritin, Vitamin D and ANA like tests can be considered.

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?

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?

This is my blood report. Doctor recommended PRP. On what basis is PRP recommended? He has prescribed medicine too. Can my hair fall be cured by only medicine or should I go for PRP?
