Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing to us.
Hair fall could be due to:
• Androgenetic alopecia in which the hair loss is gradual and progressive and mainly from frontal, temporal and crown area. This pattern of hair fall is governed by genetic and hormonal factors. Polycystic ovarian disease can cause such kind of hair fall
• telogen effluvium hair fall is diffuse and acute due to surgery, stress,chronic illness like typhoid,jaundice,prolonged fever, nutritional deficiency, thyroid diorder etc.
• localised causes of hair fall like severe dandruff, psoriasis etc

it could be telogen effluvium
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for providing all the details.
You could be having telogen effluvium. The good thing about telogen effluvium is it is a reversible type of hair fall.
In such cases,I usually prescribe
A good oral hair supplement containing essential vitamins and minerals like adgain/revilusproanagen/perfectil. It should be taken once daily
Minoxidil Solution 2 percent 1ml to be applied over scalp twice in a day
Improve your diet. Take good amount of protein rich food like eggs,soy,lean meats,lentils,sprouts along with fruits, nuts and green vegetables on daily basis
Do regular exercises and go for long walks. Try to keep yourself stress free
Usually it takes two to three months for hair to recover fully.
Prior to starting treatment one should also get haemoglobin level,serum ferritin level, thyroid profile, vitamin d level checked to rule out any underlying cause for hair fall.
Hope this helped. Should there be any doubt please write back.
Regards
