What Can Be Done For Hair Loss Post A Massive Haemorrhage And Operation, And The Loss Of A Spouse?

I have lost quite a lot of hair over the years, I think due to several things, one of them being a massive haemorrage after an op and the other being I lost my husband. Is there anything you could recommend to make my hair get a lot thicker, there is considerable loss on the top and back.

Hi,

Hairfall can occur due to a number of causes like fungal infection, nutritional deficiency, stress, long-standing illness, side effects of medicines. If there is excessive hemorrhage then it can be due to low hemoglobin levels, so it can be a cause of hair loss.

Stress can also be a cause. You should consult a Trichologist and get evaluated and he can advise you investigations like hormonal assay, blood tests, trichogram, to rule out the exact cause of the problem and treat you accordingly.

You can be advised to apply 2% Minoxidil lotion over the scalp. You can be advised to take multivitamin supplements. You should massage the scalp with warm coconut oil. You should take a nutritious diet and drink plenty of water.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Honey Arora, Dentist
