Suggest Permanent Treatment For Hair Loss

Hello, I am a 36 years old female. I am losing my hair for last many years. The front of the head is scantily covered now. I ve had allopathic (iron, vitamins, minoxidil solution etc) and Homeopathy (Dr Batras) treatments off and on. Only once when I was prescribed salt Ferrous fumarate by a Doctor in London, I saw some improvement. I understand that my Serrum Ferritin level goes low every now and then but when I start with Multi vitamins, I feel bloated and put on weight. The problem of hair fall increases in rainy season. I would like to know if there is a permanent solution to my problem or I ll have to go for Hair Transplat. Pl advise. Thank you.

Hello,

You seem to have androgenetic alopecia which is mainly characterized by thinning from the top and mid of the scalp.

In addition, low serum ferritin levels seem to exaggerate your hair loss. I suggest you consume food rich in iron like green vegetables, meat etc.

In addition, I suggest you use a Minoxidil solution and take oral Finasteride for androgenetic alopecia.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Kakkar S., Dermatologist
