Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM,

I read your query and understood your problem.

Our hair has growth cycle and after a long period of stress our hair all of a sudden reaches to a terminal phase where they start falling. That stress in your case id hemochromatosis/ phlebotomy. this condition is called telogen effluvium.

Take a healthy diet rich in fruits and veggies, take biotin and antioxidant supplements, use shampoo with biotin and peptides. It will gradually stop in time.
Hope I helped
