Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain hairfall can occur due to a number of causes like Androgenic aloepecia or Male Pattern Baldness caused due to genetics and androgenic hormones while other causes that comes under Telogen Efluvium are stress,nutritional deficiency, long standing illness, stress,fungal infection etc.
I would suggest you to consult a Trichologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Blood test,Trichogram and Dermoscopy can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
You can be advised to apply 5% Minoxidil lotion over the scalp..
You can also take Biotin and multivitamin supplements..
In case if there is androgenic alopecia you can be advised oral intake of Finesteride..
You can take more of green leafy vegetables and fruits in diet..
Drink plenty of water..
Massage the scalp with warm coconut oil..
Wash the scalp every alternate day with a mild shampoo..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
