Brief Answer:
Telogen effluvium- Diet and medications.

Detailed Answer:
Hello young lady,

Welcome again and thanks for posting your important details of the query.

After analyzing your query completely, I can make out that you have the problem of "Telogen effluvium".

To tell you simply about "Telogen effluvium" let me explain you some medical facts regarding it:

We have a hair cycle divided into three parts:

1. Growing phase (Anagen): more than 85 -90 % of hair are in this phase.

2. Senescence phase(Catagen): around less than 10 % of hair are in this phase and is the phase before falling.

3. Falling phase (Telogen ): a very few percentage of hair. We have almost 1 lac hair on our scalp and amongst them few percent of hair are in falling phase and then another 0.1% (around 50-100) of hair can fall everyday.

In certain conditions such as long term illness or any stressful event and medications, or any systemic illness such as thyroid issue or deficiency states, some more of the hair may come in falling phase.

These extra number of the hair which comes in senescence are actually visible as falling hair and we call this condition as telogen effluvium.

The reason for the acute turning of growing hair to telogen hair is due to the complete changes in body after illness or stress or systemic problems. This can start any time after 3-6 months of systemic problem and remains for few months to multiple months after its beginning.

I can make out stress as one of the most important cause behind all your problems. Improper sleep with irregular diet can make the situation more worsened.

So the first and foremost of the thing to be done form your side is to reduce your stress level.

Now regarding the part of treatment: For the betterment kindly follow the suggestions below:

1. Eat at least 3-4 different fruits saplings per day. Every fruit is good but you can make a combination of sour with sweet fruits such as oranges, papaya and other of seasonal fruits.

2. Pulses are good source of proteins. So everyday have a small bowel full of mixed pulses. Add green leafy vegetables additionally in the pulses which contain lot of iron and vitamins in it.

3. Sprouts are the best source of fibres, minerals especially iron, vitamins and proteins too. So add it at-least alternate day if you cannot make in every-day's part of meal.

4. Overnight soaked and peeled almonds will give you good vitamin E which is good for the hair growth.

5. Milk and milk products should be included in every-day's schedule.

6. Do light exercises, reduce your stress as all these have bit impact on skin so also on scalp skin.

If I were your dermatologist then would have prescribed you tablet containing Acetylcysteine, Calcium Pantothenate, Selenium, Zinc, Biotin, Copper as active ingredients. You can take these vitamins in the form of biotin, calicium pantothenate and other vitamin B complexes. Other than this an iron supplementation in diet and in tablet form is also helpful.

A latest of hair serum containing Acetyl Tetra peptide- 3, Biochanin A, Inositol & ethyl panthenol can be used. All of these bio-chemicals helps in moisturizes hair & also prevents stress induced hair loss. These also improves hair anchoring and reduces inflammation.

Hair fall control takes atleast minimum 3-6 months so have patience and follow good diet and daily routine to get best hair growth again.

I again suggest you to kindly reduce your stress level to take care of all your problems.

Hope these informations will help you. If you have further queries I will be happy to help.

"Wish you good health"
