Suggest Treatment For Severe Hair Loss

in the last month I have been losing my hair by the handfuls. Showering, brushing, and combing only allows me to see it more. If hair is dry, and i grasp lightly and slide my hand to the ends, it is scary. please tell me why i am losing so much hair?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain As per your complain hairfall can occur due to a number of causes like

-Androgenic Aloepecia caused due to sensitivity of hair follicles to androgenic hormones and genetics
-Telogen Efluvium caused by fungal infection,nutritional deficiency, stress, long standing illness, side effects of medicines..

As the hairfall is severe you should take an expert advise and treatment soon..
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 can also be advised to take Finesteride orally if there is Androgenic Alopecia as it suppresses androgens..
You should massage the scalp with warm coconut oil..
You should take a nutritious diet and drink plenty of water..
In case if still the hairfall continues then you can be advised certain advanced techniques like platelet rich plasma and Mesotherapy..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
