Brief Answer:
Possible Telogen effluvium
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.
In such a case, this could be a normal process of excessive hair shedding, a condition known as Telogen effluvium.
I advise you to get the following tests.
1. Serum Ferritin.
2. Serum TSH.
3. Serum Vitamin D.
Based on the results, you may need short courses of iron, zinc and vitamin D supplementation to prevent hair loss.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
