How Can Hair Fall Be Reduced?

Hi Experts, I am 31 years old. I used have very dense and thick hair. My hair fall started since the age of 21 and now I am left with thinner hair with severe hair falling. I think this is not a genetic issue as no one in my family has suffered from baldness. I am afraid that I may soon go bald if the hair fall continues like that. I am not sure which doctor to consult as I think most of the information (about doctors) available online are kind of marketing gimmick. Could you suggest any medicine which can help in reducing my hair fall and can regrow my hair. Thanks, Abbas

Hi,

Well, effective treatments for some types of hair loss are available. But some hair loss is permanent. If your hair loss is caused by an underlying disease, treatment for that disease will be necessary.

This may include drugs to reduce inflammation and suppress your immune system, such as prednisone. But also, 2 medications are used for treatment and include minoxidil and Finasteride.

If there is no success with these then hair transplant or restoration surgery can make the most of the hair you have left.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
