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?

Hair fall despite normal thyroid could be due to iron, vitamin deficiencies or stress. Check ferritin, B12, and D.

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 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?

I have been experiencing significant hair loss for the past few months. I took Folli Hair tablets for one and a half months, but they did not help. My blood test results show CBC is normal, iron level is 46 microgram/dL, vitamin D is normal, testosterone is normal, TSH is normal, but my vitamin B12 level is low at 186. What could be the reason for my hair loss?
