What Is Causing Thinning Of Hair?

I ama 60 year old female who has been under alot of stress for 5 years due to multiple deaths in my family all at once. Getting better. My hair has been thinning for a year or so. I noticed a year ago wads came out in the shoer one or two times. I had been low on Vit D, take 2000 in suppliments a day. I also now take a multi vitamin daily as well. THought perhaps it was due to vitamin deficiency. What are your thoughts. I always had VERY think hair until now.....

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history you are having female pattern baldness. My treatment advice is -
1. Use a good herbal hair oil and shampoo for routine use.
2. Take good nutritious diet full of green leafy vegetables and milk.
3. Take an iron supplement and vitamin B12 supplement.

If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
