How To Reduce Hair Fall Problem?

I have been on Familon Contraceptive pills for 3 months before i discontinued using them. It has been around a month now and i have started having hair fall, which is really bad. is it because of the discontinuation of the pill? If yes, can the effects be reversed?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain as you have stopped intake of Contraceptive Familion and there has been hairfall after it, it can be due to hormonal imbalances that might have occurred due to cessation of Hormone Relacement Therapy..

Hairfall can however also occur due to causes like Androgenic Aloepecia caused due to sensitivity of hair follicles to androgenic hormones and genetics while can also be caused due fungal infection,nutritional deficiency, stress, long standing illness, side effects of medicines..

You should consult a Trichologist and get evaluated and he can advise you investigations like hormonal assy, blood tests, trichogram, dermoscopy to rule out the exact cause of the problem and treat you accordingly..
You can be advised to apply 5% Minoxidil lotion over the scalp..
You can be advised to take Biotin and multivitamin supplements..
You should massage the scalp with warm coconut oil..
You should take a nutritious diet and drink plenty of water..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
