Brief Answer:
cause need to be determined and treated

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Hair fall is a common problem these days. There are thousands of causes for hair fall. one needs to find out the cause for it and treat it accordingly.

The most common causes are stress, hypothyroidism, local scalp conditions like seborrhoea and psoriasis, and several others.

We need to determine the level of hair fall as well. If the hair fall is more than 100 strands a day, then it is concerning.

Do you have pre-existing medical illnesses? Are you on any medications?

Please let me know in detail about the onset, duration of the hair fall problem.

Meanwhile, you can take a supplement called Tablet Trichoton once daily after food on a daily basis. This is a multivitamin containing Biotin. it will help you get lustrous hair.

I would be glad to help you further.

Pre existing illness as such none. I am on suppliment medication of Limcee(vit C) and Capsule Deratox.

Hairfall is around 50 strands a day
I have long hairs, i like to keep it open, but they are very brittle and falls, so that is why i have to bun it most of the time in the day.
I want to give health to my hairs. I am ready to medicate/supliment for this.

Brief Answer:
you are on the right supplements

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Thank you for the details.

I see that you do not suffer from any major illness neither are you on any medications. Good to know that. Losing up to 150 strands a day could be quite normal.

Since you are concerned the cause for your hair loss could be nutritional in origin. I would suggest you to get your Hemoglobin and Thyroid hormones tested to check if they are normal.

You are on the right supplements; please continue them. Eat healthy and balanced diet.

Remain stress- free. You would get the health of your hair back soon.

Brief Answer:
please get your latest hemoglobin level tested

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Hb of 8 is low and definitely needs oral iron supplements. Please get your latest Hb level tested and get treated accordingly.

I usually treat my patients with low Hb with tablet Orofer XT once daily after food. You may want to try this in consultation with your doctor.
