Suggest Remedies For Severe Hair Loss
Question: Hello Doctor,
I have recently started facing issues of hair fall.
I checked whether I have a dandruff , but it wasn't the case.
I have been facing this issue for over two months now and I lose 15-20 strands at a time.
Even if I just randomly put my hand over head , I see few strands coming out.
what I felt as symptoms were :
My city got changed 2 months back as a part of my work movement and what I found from locals was that the city water is hard and majority people here have hair fall issues. hence my hair which used to be soft have become harder and fall is too much on daily basis.
I tried using mineral water to cleanse my hair, apply oil overnight and wash it in morning and several othr things but they aren't working out. Please help

Brief Answer:
Various suggestions for improvements in hair fall.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum.
I can understand your concern for the hair fall. It is really distressing to observe hair falling continuously everyday.
I have gone through your complete query and noted your concern. After thoroughly analyzing the query I can make out that you have the problem of telogen effluvium.
This kind of condition occurs due to change of place or any stress or illness or nutritional problems. In your case as you have got this kind of problem due to change of place so could be the important cause of hair fall.
I quite often counsel your kind of problem where young men like you get such kind of issues of hair fall. The important thing is that such kind of hairfall occurs for few weeks to months and then gets better by itself.
The basic reason for the same is that due to various causes a few percentage of our hair roots stops functioning properly and comes in shedding phase. These hair falls off in next couple of months. As soon as the causes are withdrawn then the hair again comes into normal growing phase.
I suggest you to kindly reduce your stress as this stress itself induces more hair roots to come in falling phase.
For the betterment I suggest my patients to take a food nutritious diet with fruits and green vegetables. Sprouts should also be taken on daily basis. Overnight soaked almonds should be taken with breakfast.
Take a proper sleep of at least 8 hours.
For medications I suggest my patients to apply a lotion with hair growing factors ( such as Mintop PRO). It is to be applied at night time over the affected area of scalp. 1 ml is sufficient for front and Crown area of scalp. A tablet containing multivitamin with biotin 5 or 10 mg can be taken daily after meals ( such as keraglo men or follihair) after meals. You can take further guidance from your prescribing dermatologist.
I reassure you tha such kind of problem lasts for few months and then gets better by simple measures.
I hope this helps.
With regards,
Dr Sanjay Kanodia
