Hi,

Thanks for posting your query.

I advice you not to panic, as usually we shed an average of 50-100 hairs per day. Under normal conditions new hairs grow to replace each hair that has been shed, keeping the average number of growing hairs about the same at all times.

Sudden increase in the hair loss might be due to change in the water that you are using as mentioned by you. It will be normalized within week or so.

Another entity known as Telogen effluvium may also present with the same symptom. Telogen effluvium may be caused by fever, chronic illness, severe emotional disorders, stress, and crash diets. As stress may be responsible, I advise you to be less anxious about the hair loss.

In any case if the symptoms persist, you can try 2% mintop solution, available as over the counter medication for local application. To see effect you have to use it at least for period of 45 days.

Even Trichup hair fall control oil and shampoo are beneficial. I advise you to use the oil regularly and shampoo once in two days.

Try the above mentioned measures your symptoms will reduce.

Hope I have provided the information you needed.

Please do write back for follow up queries that you may have.

Wish you good health. Take care.

Hello XXXXXXX

Good to hear from you.

Both the factors might be responsible; as mentioned above Telogen effluvium can occur after infection and stress. But as the time passes hair fall will eventually reduce.

I advise you to follow the conservative measures as mentioned above and also have check on anxiety and stress level that will help. Quitting smoking will be beneficial in more than one way as most of us know.

Hope I have cleared your queries. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer.

Wish you good health.

Regards
