Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am taking treatment from Dr Batras, sector 18 Noida, But their management is very poor so I wont continue from them. The treatment was for hair fall, they told me something related to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) that is responsible for hairfall they advised me that medicines should be taken for 3 years. they gave me medicines that were to be taken alternately.But as Now I dont want to continue with them I want you to prescribe me the medicines.Additionally my metabolism is also very weak so I want medicines for that also.
The first thing that i ask any of my patients who are losing hair is are you stressed? Family problems, Mid life work issues anything? Hair normally follows a 3 month cycle and any stress event in the last 3 months may have triggered hair loss which is continuing till now. If your stress is addressed and relieved you will see that hair fall decreases and your hair should stabilize in 2-3 months.
Second is nutrition. You should be getting adequate protein and iron as that will help your hair grow. Good protein sources include eggs, pulses, soya, meat. Iron is found in green vegetables like spinach,methi(fenugreek) or can be supplemented with iron tablets. If you eat out frequently or do not have fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet then you may consider taking a multivitamin on alternate days.This will also promote your metabolism.
Once these two are addressed both your metabolism and your hair growth will be taken care of atleast internally. In addition minscalp solution can be applied as it promotes hair growth locally. You can apply it once a day with plastic/polythene gloves on the less dense areas of the scalp.
Hope this helps, Please feel free to address any further queries to me. I will be happy to answer them
