Detailed Answer:
Hello,
50 - 100 hairs lost per day is still within normal limits. However if you have noticed that this increased shedding is out of proportion for you then this might be due to some precipitating preceding cause, broadly e.g a serious medical illness, surgery, severe mental stress, weight loss, nutritional deficiency, iron stores depletion, post pregnancy, thyroid abnormality, hormonal abnormality/PCOS, certain drugs/ medications for another illness and genetic/ androgenetic alopecia.
Is there any such preceding or ongoing history of precipitating cause(s)? Is the hair loss diffuse? Are there any bald spots? Is there any scaling/ dandruff/ itchy patches on the scalp?
Details about the hair and scalp will give more clarity.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards,
