I have been experiencing severe hair fall for the past 2 months. Despite using hair oils and maintaining a good diet, the hair fall continues. I have done various tests, and all results are normal. What could be causing this, and what should I do to stop the hair fall?

Hair fall without any clear cause may be telogen effluvium (stress triggered). Continue vitamins, monitor 2 more months.

Take a Ferritin Test Test or Take a Vitamin D Test Test

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?

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?

I have been experiencing hair fall for the past five months, and the regrowth of hair has comparatively smaller diameter than before. I consulted a dermatologist and have been on medication for the last one month. My test reports show ferritin 64, vitamin D 28, and thyroid 1.7. I have not seen any improvement. Hair thinning continues, and I also have dandruff. The medicines I am using are Phytoral, Dvion 60X, Biotin, Keraglow shampoo, and Keraglow lotion.
