Brief Answer:
Causes of hair fall listed below, treatment depends on cause

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at Healthcaremagic
There are many causes of hair fall and treatment depends on the cause.
The most commonly causes encountered by me are thyroid disease, anemia, surgery, trauma, chronic diseases including that of the scalp, certain medications and after delivery.
I would recommend you to go for haemoglobin, thyroid function tests and serum ferritin levels to rule out anaemia and thyroid disorders.
You can get back to me once the results come so that we can manage it accordingly.
I hope to have answered your query and would be happy to clarify any further doubts.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
