Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My hair is getting thinner with each passing day, and I do not know the reason for my hair fall. Is it due to a nutritional deficiency? How can I reduce my hair fall?

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Hair fall can occur due many reasons. Kindly let me know your daily routine to help with the diagnosis. I suggest you eat a balanced diet rich in nutrients as a deficiency of some nutrients could also be the reason.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
