Doctor: Hello and welcome to HCM,You seem to be suffering from excessive hair fall commonly seen with hypothyroidism. Though your levels maybe normal , the overall hair growth and rate of growth may be affected more in your case,even on treatment.I hope your thyroid levels are in check. In your case, the hair fall ,maybe prolonged due to other factors as well, such as poor nutrition, stress, lack of rest, low iron and hemoglobin levels, hormonal changes etc. Dandruff,Chemical treatments,dyes on hair can also aggravate hair fall.For your hair to grow well, it needs sufficient nutrition.Fever, typhoid, recent illness, water change, work stress, pollution etc is a factor.Low hemoglobin/iron levels need to be checked as well.These causes need to be considered and treated as they affect hair growth.You can consult a dermatologist regarding any tests that may be required to diagnose the causes. They can assess your hair in person and advise accordingly. They may advise hemoglobin, iron, hormone levels if needed.For now you may start a Recute solution or Tress gro serum to scalp at night , along with hair supplements daily like Keraglo or Biotee capsule. This needs to be continued at least for 2-3 months to see results. Use mild shampoo and conditioner like Anaphase or Renocia for hair growthDo start with the treatment as advised and see a doctor. And remember to check your thyroid levels regularly as advised and follow treatment.Due to the thyroid condition, hair growth will be a little slower than normal.If your hair is very thin and scanty on the scalp, and medical methods do not work well for you,after a few months of observation, certain new surgical procedures can be considered such as PRP, as will be advised by your consulting doctor after observation, if they feel that it will be a good option for you. This is a later option.Also get a good nutritious diet, avoid stress,pollution, get good rest.Hope this guides you.
