Could Hair Loss Be Related To Hormonal Imbalance?

HI, I m prachi and my age is 25 years. My concern is hair loss from the age of 16 years I. E the age from which my periodic cycle started . Have visited numerous doctors in the past 10 years but the root cause of this issue has not been found yet . I had voluminous hair before mentruation began . Are there any hormonal tests that can be done to rule out the hair issue ? I have severe pms - extreme anxiety , anger increased hunger and delay in periods . Apart from this there is no other abnormality. These symptoms have existed ever since I started menstruation. The pms is very extreme and I find it difficult to cope up with a normal routine during this time . Basically need to know if there is any hormonal issue that relates to hair loss ? Vitamin d and b 12 levels are in range prolactin and thyroid levels in range serum ferritin was low but has Been maintained since the past 2 years . I m at a marriageable age and really need the correct advice . Have been misguided all these years . Really hope u can help me find a solution .
