Suggest Treatment For Hair Fall And Thinning
Hi Doctor, I am suffering from hair fall and thinning too. I have tried all minoxdil to vitamins and all. I used to tak amway biotin product which hit down my stomach, so i stopped that. Minoxdil had some good effects earlier but later it also didn t work. My hair getting pretty thin and fine from frontal and temple crown part. I didn t get any blood test yet and even my Doctor didn t suggest any except a normal blood test. Could you suggest any blood tests that i should get for getting down to problem? I have normal health and weight is around 75 and height 5 10. I used to have low immunity due to which i used to face, viral fever in 3-4 months.

Hi,
Hair loss and thinning could be due to thyroid disease, iron deficiency anemia, nutritional deficiency like vitamins, proteins, malabsorption or effects of hormone testosterone or androgen. I advise you to:
- Do blood test to find out iron deficiency and TFT for thyroid function tests
- As you are already on minoxidil, continue it or take tab. Finasteride 1mg/ day
- Take multivitamin including biotin & also fish oil for fatty acid supplementation
- Adequate nutritional diet
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
