Hi, I am facing hair loss problem from past year(loss from root). My docter suggested follihair which is causing abdominal cramps(one of the side affects). He suggested following tests and results are listed below : [x] VITAMIN B12 : 324.9 pg/mL (211 - 946) [x] THYROID PROFILE(T3) Method: Chemiluminiscence : 1.48 nmol/l (1.3 - 3) [x] TOTAL THYROXINE(T4) : 95.78 nmol/l (66 - 181) [x] THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE(TSH) : 3.41 uIU/ml (0.27 - 4.2) [x] VITAMIN D3 : 5.37 ng/mL (Deficiency : 20 ng/mL) [x] SERUM FERITTIN : 11.32 ng/ml (20-250) [x] HAEMOGLOBIN: 11.9 (11-14) In my family there is no family baldness, what can be cause of this hair loss? Shall i undergo some more tests? Shall i continue taking follihair? what shall i do? Thanks in advance !

Hello,

* As per the details of reports, there is no thyroid disturbances or other
obvious cause of hair loss; in which instance, zinc, vitamin E deficiency, stress, chronic fungal infection of the scalp are other possibilities for differential diagnosis.

My guidelines at present

- control of dandruff if present

- avoid commercial dye or artificial colors if used

- avoid stress, anxiety

- balanced nutritious diet

- intake of multivitamin with antioxidants, minerals, zinc, vitamin E on regular basis

- protein shampoo for hair wash

- local application of Minoxidil acid (5 %) after discussion with your treating dermatologist.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
