I have been having hair problems for the last 1 year, with excessive hair fall. My blood test shows low vitamin D and vitamin B12. I have been taking Nutrilite Cal Mag D and vitamin B12 supplements for the past month, but I have not seen any improvement. Due to WFH, I am living in Sangli, Maharashtra. I have also had some period related problems in the past 2 months. I think the hair loss may be due to hormonal imbalance. Please help me understand what I should do and which specialist I should consult to treat this issue/ Thank you.

Hair loss linked to vitamin deficiency and possible hormonal imbalance. If periods are irregular, consult a gynecologist or endocrinologist. Check iron, thyroid, and PCOS markers too.

Please review my test report and advise me. I have been experiencing significant hair fall recently, and I had COVID in April. What could be causing this, and what steps should I take to manage it?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I recently had a complete haemogram done, and the results showed that my haemoglobin, total RBC, total WBC, lymphocytes, POV, platelet count, MCV, and MCH are all highly imbalanced, with some values being either too high or too low. Currently, I am not experiencing any major physical problems except for hair fall. I want to understand why my blood report is showing such imbalances and what steps I should take.

I am suffering from severe hairfall. My front scalp is almost visible now and even a slight touch causes hair to break. I have been on medicines but have had no results and hence want to try PRP. Since I am only 21 I want to know the effects and results of PRP. I really hope to get my hair back at least to some extent. I have been advised to do PRP but I am still skeptical since there is a lot of money involved.
