Hello,

Vitamin deficiency, hypothyroidism or iron deficiency or urine infection or Cushing's syndrome or major illness or zinc deficiency may cause hair fall.

You have to confirm it by investigations. Get it done serum electrolytes, blood urea, serum creatinine, haemoglobin status and thyroid profile.

Please take zink and biotin tablets. Please consult your dermatologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

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

Take care
