Hello doc, is there a way to tell if I have genetic baldness or telogen effluvium? I’m 22 yr old male and my hair suddenly started to shed like crazy about 6-7 months ago and I did go through many stressful and tragic things in the last 2 years or so, I always had very thick and strong hair just like my dad who is over 50 years old and still has a full head of hair as well as most of other males in my family like we really have a strong hair genetically so I think its very unlikely for me to go bald but I know its not impossible
Hi Cardinale, Sudden hair shedding is different from progressive hair thinning due to genetic pattern hair loss which occurs more gradually. You can refer to these videos on the differences of hair shedding versus hair thinning due to pattern hair loss, and how we diagnose and treat male genetic pattern hair loss: ua-cam.com/video/1B1hz-mTs38/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/BmwyXS0D5tg/v-deo.html
Hey doc, I'm 18. I have less density of hair since i was born and now it has become even more less. I've been losing hair for about 10 months. It all started after i got COVID-19 and started working out like lifting weights etc. I could see atleast 15-20 hair while taking a shower. I'd literally sit there crying and been taking a lot of stress lately. I really don't know the root cause of my hairfall. I don't see any pattern to come to a conclusion. My hair is thin on the front, in the middle and on the crown. My hair is oily and have a bit of dandruff too. I'm not sure if it's due to androgenic alopecia or telogen effluviam. I got my blood test done and my iron, vitamin D and b12 levels were too low. I've been taking all of these supplements for 3 months but don't see any results yet. So are there any scalp tests to find out the root cause? Plz guide me. Thank you!!
Hi Mayur 13, It is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, but the hair will grow back. Pattern hair loss happens when those hairs grow back thinner after every shed, there is a delay in regrowth, and the number of regrowth cycles become more limited. You can refer to this video about it - ua-cam.com/video/1B1hz-mTs38/v-deo.html You need an examination by an experienced doctor to diagnose for pattern hair loss. As it's not clear if you are male or female, you can refer to these videos on how we diagnose and treat male, and female pattern hair loss: ua-cam.com/video/BmwyXS0D5tg/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/v-deo.html
Hi doc, the last 2 months i have been experiencing excessive hair loss that got worst the previous weeks because thr last 6 months i have been extremely stressed due to my final exmas. I also got a stress crisis this month. Im 18 and no one in my family is bald. I have thinned a little bit in the top o my head with no pattern i suppose. Your opinion?
Hi @srdizzy5720, I hope you understand that proper medical opinion requires a physical examination. That said, as featured in the video, severe and rapid hair shedding is usually triggered by extreme stress, but this is a temporary condition, and shed hair grows back without medical intervention. It is possible for telogen effluvium, and male pattern hair loss (hair thinning) to happen concurrently. The genes for pattern hair loss can come from several generations from both sides of your family, so it is possible that you have them from a family member you’ve never even met. An examination is needed to determine what you have. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi @gamerbhai2582, Sorry to hear about your problem. These are two separate issues, so they would have to be diagnosed, and treated separately. If you can't see us for a physical examination to make a proper diagnosis, I suggest you see a local dermatologist for a scalp examination. I hope this helps you.
Hi@@gamerbhai2582, As explained in the video, telogen effluvium by itself does not require medical treatment for shed hair to grow back. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi doc, I've been anxious about the cause of my hair loss. I'm 23 years old, ever since at least Sept 2020 my hair has been progressively diffuse thinning on top, but it also has majorly thinned on the sides of my head as well, so that has me confused about whether it's male pattern baldness or something else. Blood test results show I'm slightly iron deficient but I don't think that's enough to cause the aggressive, progressive hair loss I'm having.
Hi Khalil Douis, Sorry to hear about your problem. Male pattern hair loss can manifest as diffuse hair thinning, and diffuse unpattern alopecia (DUPA) can also affect the sides of the head. We do treat DUPA on a case-by-cae basis. An examination is needed to determine what the cause of your hair loss is. You can refer to this video on how we diagnose, and treat male pattern hair loss - ua-cam.com/video/BmwyXS0D5tg/v-deo.html
Hi doc..... I'm 19 Nd from past 1 month I'm facing an extreme hairloss about more than 300 strands.......I don't even know why and how to stopped it also I was hospitalized in November due to typhoid fever........plzz reply me Nd tell me the reason and solution
Hi @AditiSingh-lz2og, Sorry to hear about your problem. Telogen effluvium, as discussed in the video, can occur due to an illness like typhoid fever causing stress on the body. Telogen effluvium or severe hair shedding usually occurs 3-5 months after the severe stress event. However, telogen effluvium is a temporary condition, and shed hair does grow back without medical intervention. You should still confirm with a scalp examination by an experienced doctor that you have no other concurrent causes of hair loss, such as progressive hair thinning to pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD what is duration of this telogen effluvium I mean till when I have to struggle with this problem. Do I have to consult with any dermo......
Hi@@AditiSingh-lz2og, It is still a good idea to consult your dermatologist for an examination, and a proper diagnosis as there could be other concurrent causes of hair loss. Telogen effluvium usually lasts less than 6 months, but if it lasts longer then it is classified as chronic telogen effluvium. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi@@AditiSingh-lz2og, As stated in my first reply, shed hair grows back, so you won't go bald. There is no treatment that can make shed hair due to telogen effluvium to grow faster, so I suggest you remain patient, and see your dermatologist for a proper examination, and diagnosis. I hope this helps you.
Hi @trendingvideos8835, Sorry to hear about your problem. It is possible for the stress on the body caused by dengue fever to trigger telogen effluvium, but it's also important to confirm and rule out other causes of hair loss with a scalp examination. If you can't see us for an examination, I suggest you see a local dermatologist for a proper diagnosis. I hope this helps you.
Hi! I noticed your answering questions, I’m African with black hair, I got traction alopecia from right braids but this year after a stressful summer job, around 2 months later in November I was trying to use natural oil remedies (rosemary and castor) to regrow my hair but what happened was I got sudden burning sensation especially at the front of my hairline. I washed it off immediately. (My period did start a week later so I assumed it was hormones) but then the tingling sensations start up again once in a while. I bought folliculitis shampoo just incase but I’m unsure what exactly is the issue. I did believe it was right braids again because I did do them after my summer job and took them down when I felt the tingling by sensation
Hi @naishipae, Sorry to hear about your problem. I suggest you see a local dermatologist to examine your scalp to properly diagnose your condition. I hope you understand that I can't diagnose your condition based on your brief description alone. I hope this helps you.
Hi @luckytech3318, Yes, telogen effluvium occurs in males, and it is possible for the stress on the body from illnesses like typhoid fever to induce telogen effluvium, but this is usually temporary severe hair shedding, and reversible. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hey doc, how to confirm if I have female pattern baldness or Telogen Effluvim. I always had thin hair just like my mom but started aggressively losing hair 4 years ago and now my hair is Less than half of the initial hair thickness. is there a DIY home test that I can do to tell if its Female pattern baldness or Telogen effluvim? I'm losing hair at frontal lobe and my crown is normal I guess
Hi @sarawhatever1659, Sorry to hear about your problem. You do need an experienced doctor to diagnose your condition, which can also be challenging for doctors because of other conditions like PCOS/PCOD causing hair thinning, so sometimes scalp biopsies are needed to confirm female pattern hair loss. If you can't see us for an examination to diagnose the cause of your hair loss, I suggest you see an experienced local dermatologist. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Malik Awais videos, It is highly unlikely as shed hair due to telogen effluvium grows back eventually, unless you have a concurrent cause of hair loss like pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
And sir iam suffering from telogen effluvium I have lost about half of my density on the top of scalp and hairs are very thin eventhough my hair pattern hav not recided can I get back that density ?
Hi Irfan Nadeem, Shed hair due to telogen effluvium does grow back after some time, without medical treatment. Pattern hair loss can be treated to thicken thinning hair, and stimulate hair growth from dormant hair follicles to increase scalp coverage, but it can't be reversed completely as it is a genetic condition hardwired into the DNA. You can refer to these videos on how we diagnose, and treat male pattern hair loss; and why genetic pattern hair loss is managed, but not completely reversed or cured: ua-cam.com/video/BmwyXS0D5tg/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/B035EcHqllY/v-deo.html
Sir i am 27 years old and had very thick hair with a good density of hair but suddenly I am loosing hair and it's been 1 year I lost excessive hair for the first few months and then rest for middle months and now again from one month I am loosing across 40 to 50 while oiling, shampooing and combing my doctor prescribed me biotin and I am taking it too but my frontal area my scalp is less dense now and I got dandruff too, will this hair grow back??? And how I can stop my hair fall whenever I touch my hair , hair is coming out, I am very much depressed now 😭😭😭😭
Hi BISWAJIT SAHA, Hair shedding is not hair loss. It is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, and they do grow back. Pattern hair loss happens when the shed hair grows back thinner, and there is a delay in regrowth. You can refer to this video about it - ua-cam.com/video/1B1hz-mTs38/v-deo.html
Hi @MahakalTV7421, Sorry to hear about your problem. You do need to see a doctor for proper examination, and diagnosis to rule out any autoimmune conditions that may potentially cause increased hair shedding first. Temporary hair shedding due to severe stress called telogen effluvium doesn't require medical treatment for shed hair to grow back, but you do need to see a doctor first to diagnose exactly what you have. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Anu m, While a physical examination is needed before making specific recommendations for you, these videos feature the ways I treat under eye dark circles in my practice: ua-cam.com/video/QBvjjvxPt2g/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/S6_nTRr1tio/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/jQUb67RpaAM/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/RHJodb437o4/v-deo.html
Hello doctor, a question regarding blepharoplasty, is it possible to remove bags due to genetics with surgery? I saw a comment in which you operated on a family with bags due to genetics, how was it? How soon can that fat return?
Hi Rodrigo Encalada, I operate to remove genetic eye bags every day in my practice without an external incision on the eyelid skin, which is a specialized technique, so results look completely natural, like you never had eye bags. Prolapsed orbital fat does not return once removed, but it is possible for new orbital fat to prolapse. However, the results of lower eyelid surgery can last decades, and in many patients the surgery does last even longer than that. You can refer to these videos about how long lower eyelid surgery lasts, why not all lower eyelid surgeries to remove eye bags are not performed the same way by different surgeons, and the best procedure for puffy under eye bags: ua-cam.com/video/NWziOny_kqI/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/YTTb3ydq550/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/URMaUf-hRsA/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/46Kp6ayfyzg/v-deo.html
Sir im 20 years old. I first started experiencing heavy hair fall 3 years ago and the amount of hair loss hasnt decreased till now. My hair is really thin on the side and top of my head. I heard that in male pattern baldness the hairs fall out very slowly but my hair is falling out excessively. So i was wondering if i have male pattern baldness or chronic tellogen effluvium.
Hi Ronish Maharjan, Sorry to hear about your problem. Male pattern hair loss is progressive hair thinning, not hair shedding. However, it possible to have male pattern hair loss, and another cause of hair shedding like telogen effluvium. A scalp examination is needed to determine the cause of your hair loss. If you can't see us for a diagnosis, I suggest you see a local doctor for an examination, like an experienced dermatologist. I hope this helps you.
Hi Anu m, The TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment is for people who are suffering from thinning hair, and delayed hair growth due to pattern hair loss. It is not a treatment to grow hair where hair never grew before. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi@@ag_gutta7573, First, you should keep in mind a that it is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, but the hair will grow back. Pattern hair loss happens when those hairs grow back thinner after every shed, there is a delay in regrowth, and the number of regrowth cycles become more limited. You should see a doctor about what my be causing your hair loss, if you even have it, because at 14 you should be at your peak hair count, and should not be affected at this age by pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hello docter, im 21 years old and i dont know what type of hairloss i have. I dont have a receeding hairline or a bald spot. I am thinning all over the top of my head. The sides of my head do stay good...
Hi @marcdebuck4014, Sorry to hear about your problem. Thinning at the top of the scalp, while the sides and lower back of the head does sound like genetic pattern hair loss. You can review this video on how we diagnose, and treat male pattern hair loss - ua-cam.com/video/BmwyXS0D5tg/v-deo.html
@@AmiyaPrasadMD could it have something to do with covid? It started after i had covid. The shedding was alot at first, now it seems like "normal" also the hairs that fall out have a white dot at the end. I got told that this white dot means a healthy hair follicle...
Hi@@marcdebuck4014, The stress on your body from illness can cause a temporary increase in hair shedding, but it won't cause hair thinning. The white part at the end of a shed hair shaft is dead skin, or keratin, while the hair follicle remains in place to grow hair again. Pattern hair loss is the hair growing back progressively thinner, as well as a delay in regrowth as hair follicles miniaturize. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hey Doc... I m 20 year old Please help me out... Now From last 2 month i had severe level of hairfall... Daily More then 100+ hair strends fall... I have curly hair... Now i have thicker hair line... Recently i have lose 14 kg of weight within 4 month through intermittent fasting . Please help me... What should i do to reduce my hairfall... Looking forward for your response...
Hi @panda_aparupa, While intermittent fasting is generally safe, it's not clear how you are approaching it. Generally speaking, stress on your body from a change in diet can cause an increase in hair shedding. For a proper diagnosis of your condition, you do need to see an experienced doctor to examine your scalp, and some possible testing to diagnose your condition. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi @akanksharathod, AGA is a genetic condition, not a nutritional one, so supplements don't treat it directly. Minoxidil is a limited treatment.

Hello sir, I'm 15 year old girl. I'm having sudden extreme hair fall from last 2 months so much that my hair density has become half of itself. I did my own research and thought that it is telogen ellivium but the problem is that the roots if my individual hair has become very thin compare to it's end . I'm extremely stressed because of it because of a lot young to have hair loss but I thinks I've androgenic alopecia. Is it reversible? Please reply
Hi @RDas19, Sorry to hear about your problem. It is important to be properly diagnosed by a doctor experienced in genetic female pattern hair loss/ androgenetic alopecia. There are more potential causes of hair thinning in women there are for men, so it's not necessarily androgenetic alopecia. A proper scalp examination, with possible biopsies are needed for a definitive diagnose your condition.

Hey doctor I'm a 20 year old female. Last year I was diagnosed with telogen effluvium and then I regained my hair volume after meds. I got COVID after that I started loosing hair and after medication it stopped but sir I'm not able to get my thick hair back. I tried taking meds also but it's getting thin all over the length and the hair comes out with a white bulb on the root . How do I get my thick hair back? It's not much hairloss nowadays
Hi m Mir, Sorry to hear about your problem. Telogen effluvium does not require medical treatment for shed hair to grow back. Shed hair with the white bulb However, it is possible to have a concurrent condition causing hair to thin, such as female pattern hair loss, or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). PCOS needs to be diagnosed by a gynecologist. You can refer to this more recent video on how we diagnose, and treat female pattern hair loss - ua-cam.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/v-deo.html
Hi Doc. I'm a 20 year old male and my hair has always been thick however i was hospitalized for depression in October and went through extreme stress due to being on mulitple medications which even caused a seizure. I've only recently noticed a lot of strands falling out in the shower and my hair does seem to appear much thinner. I do have baldness in the family genes however this was definitely not an issue before and happened quiet suddenly. Any advice?
Hi @jayycnation2003, Sorry to hear about your problem. As described in the video, extreme mental stress, along with physical stress such as hospitalization, and potentially medications you are on, can cause excessive hair shedding or telogen effluvium. It is possible to have telogen effluvium concurrently with genetic pattern hair loss, which is progressive hair thinning. The temporary shedding you're experiencing may have made thinning more noticeable. A scalp examination is needed to determine if your hair is thinning. Hair thinning requires medical intervention to manage, but severe hair shedding is temporary, and will grow back without medical intervention. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Do people with androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium have the same amount of anagen and telogen phases in % ? Because i have (according to a Scan) 38.2% telogen phase and 61.8% anagen phase at the back of my head. While on my front i have 17.6% telogen and 82.4% anagen which is strange because i have indeed androgenetic alopecia. I have visibly a horseshoe pattern. But i somehow have hair loss at the back and sides of my hair as well😒. And Vitamin D was the ONLY thing i was really deficienct at 7.2 ng/ml.
Hi @ItalMiser117, If you have androgenetic alopecia, which you likely do because of the horseshoe pattern, there may be a delay in your anagen phase starting for a certain percentage of hairs as regrowth is affected. Androgenetic alopecia is a genetic condition, and not due to nutrition or vitamin deficiencies. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi, i had a head full of curly hair until age 16/17. Then slowly began the hair loss. I never saw lots of hair in my brush or on my pillow. But slowly i noticed more and more scalp getting visible through my hair. Years and years and it got worse, but so slowly. Now I'm 34. I've tried everything in those years. The dermatologist said it's TE, but it also looks like alopecia diffusa to me. How will i know the difference? Is it hormonal? 🥴
Hi @Ele.Vation.13, As featured in the video, genetic pattern hair loss/ androgenetic alopecia is gradual and progressive hair thinning, while telogen effluvium is temporary higher than normal hair shedding. The effects of telogen effluvium alone are temporary, so if you see effects years later, it is more likely genetic pattern hair loss. A doctor experienced with hair loss treatment can give you a definitive diagnosis. You can refer to this video on how we diagnose, and treat female pattern hair loss - ua-cam.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/v-deo.html
OK but intelligent hair come back weaker every time mimicking miniaturization anyway so hair shedding versus miniaturization is not a clear way to tell
Hi @austinzizzi1142, Shed hair from telogen effluvium alone grows back to its original thickness. However, it is possible for for telogen effluvium, and hair thinning due to genetic pattern hair loss to occur at the same time. A scalp examination is needed to properly diagnose the conditions you have. While telogen effluvium does not require treatment for shed hair to grow back, treatment is needed if hair is growing progressively thinner. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD I have a chronic illness and I underwent hyperthermia to try and fix it but all it did was make my hair miniaturize rapidly three months after. I had been experiencing TE shed before the fever even and miniaturization directly after. The only treatment for chronic TE is to solve the underlying condition correct? Could my situation still qualify for chronic TE?
@@AmiyaPrasadMD I’ve had multiple scalp exams by different dermatologists and no one can determine what it is. I don’t think scalp exams or biopsies are very deterministic and seem to be largely subjective
Hi@@austinzizzi1142, I would have to examine your scalp to make a diagnosis before I can determine your exact condition. Shedding due to telogen effluvium does occur with chronic illnesses, or sudden health conditions like hyperthermia. However, it's hair thinning or miniaturization that needs to be diagnosed. I hope you understand.
Hi doctor Please help me I'm 24 and I'm suffering from hair fall For 2 years and half now About 3 years ago I had a surgery I had long thick healthy hair before that But now I have hair fall for this long and I feel like there is something wrong with my scalp too Like it's not healthy My scalp wasn't oily before the hair fall started But now it is And if I don't wash my hair even for a day my hair falls more like crazy and I feel like inflammation in my scalp Some doctors said it's chronic stress and some said It looks like it's female pattern baldness but anyone in my family doesn't have that But I started to use minoxidil it was good at the first but I didn't know if I stop it those hairs will fall again But again after a year I was feeling hopeless and I started to use minoxidil again But no matter what the baby hairs fall after a while And I'm also stressed all the time and I have anxiety My blood test report showed my cortisol is high Is it possible that the hair loss is because of high cortisol not androgenic alopecia? And can it be reversible after controlling the stress by medication?
Hi @mahdiyehgomar3640, Sorry to hear about your problem. As detailed in the video, severe hair shedding is most often stress induced, and progressive hair thinning is associated with androgenetic alopecia, but it is possible for both conditions to occur concurrently. The genes for androgenetic alopecia can come from several generations from both sides of your family, so it is even possible that you have them from a family member you’ve never even met. Minoxidil appears to delay natural hair shedding, so if you stop using it, you can get a sudden hair shed. I would need to examine your scalp for androgenetic alopecia before recommending treatment. Hair shedding due to severe stress usually doesn't require medical treatment, as explained in the video. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi plz help me to resolve my issue. I'm a 17 year old girl or I have been shedding a lot of hair since past 3 months in the bathroom and my clothes everywhere. I'll alomst lost my 50 % hairs..Earlier I was taking vitamin supplements but it did not help me. I also consulted the dermatologist and he did a blood test, Vitamin 3. Or I got the report of thyroid and all the reports are clear ....prescribed medicines of the doctors have not any effect on my hair I am still having a lot of hair shedding. Please tell me whether I have androgenic alopecia or telogen effluvium
Hi @user-wz6cp4wo4d, Sorry to hear about your problem. As detailed in the video, severe hair shedding due to extreme stress is associated with telogen effluvium, and does not require medical treatment for shed hair to grow back Androgenic alopecia is progressive hair thinning, not hair shedding. However, this is not a definitive diagnosis as I would need to examine your scalp. I hope this clarifies things for you.
So mine started 6 months after an ectopic pregnancy. It’s been 5-6 months of shedding then around the time of my period I get more. One derm said there is no patterns to it and that was it and it’s none scarring. Is this good or bad and what is likely going on TE or AGA?
Hi @jujub428, It is possible you have postpartum hair shedding due to changes in hormone levels. If this is the case, then shedding stops as hormone levels balance on their own. You can consult your gynecologist to diagnose it properly. AGA is progressive hair thinning, not hair shedding. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi doctor, i am a 16 yr old female and i used to have thick hair but recently i have been losing more and more hair and the volume has reduced to almost half.. im losing about 300 hairs a day and i don't know why because i did not face any stressfull event.. is this tellogen effluvium or female pattern hair loss? And is there any way i can get my hair back? I sit there crying in the shower everyday and i cant concentrate on my studies.. i have exams soon and this is really affecting my daily life. Is there any way to reverse this condition?
Hi @_ishana.xd_, Sorry to hear about your problem. Excessive hair shedding is not female pattern hair loss, because female pattern hair loss is progressive hair thinning. Telogen effluvium is reversible, but you do need to be properly diagnosed by an experienced doctor to rule out other causes of hair shedding, such as autoimmune conditions. If you can't see us for a diagnosis, I suggest you see a local dermatologist for an examination. I hope this helps you.
Hi @Dalba7, While minoxidil is not the best treatment for hair loss, the drug/material itself does not cause hair loss, or clog hair follicles. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi doctor , im 20, and Im experienceing hair loss since 4-5 yrr intially my hair hair loss was not so bad and use to stop sometime and comeback again but now since 2 or 3 yrs its constant and too much i see my falling hair everywhere during hair wash even if i dont rub scalp hardly when shampooing my hairs falls to much. Until now my scalp is not too much visible or bald but im seeing thining hair . I went to a dermatologist for check but he didnt even checked or examined my scalp , without any examination he said its telogen effluvium and he just wrote prescription of 3 medicine including monoxidil 5% ( for twice a day use) and a shampoo and said come here again after 3 mnths i havent bought those medicine yet because i couldn't trust that doctor . Thats why im confuse and dont know whom to consult and trust .thats why I want to take your advice doctor . My hair strand are very stiff and dry near the surface of head and my scalp is itchy also and have mild dandruffs and also I feel very little pain in my hair strands near to the head's surface or at the hair joining point with skin when i move my hair with my hand.
Hi @plyer1231, Hair shedding is not genetic pattern hair loss, which is progressive hair thinning. It is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, and they do grow back. Pattern hair loss happens when the shed hair grows back thinner, and there is a delay in regrowth. Medication is not needed to treat telogen effluvium. I can't diagnose if you have pattern hair loss without an examination. Since it's not clear if you are male or female, you can refer to these videos on how we diagnose, and treat male, and female pattern hair loss: ua-cam.com/video/BmwyXS0D5tg/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/v-deo.html
My hair thinning day by day, in a single day i lose almost 200 hair, my receding hairline not gone back, can i have telogen effluvium plz suggest me any medicine or give me any solution, i am from Pakistan
Hi Respect 😎😎, Sorry to hear about your problems. Hair shedding, and hair thinning are two separate issues, but they can occur at the same time, as explained in the video. No treatment is needed for telogen effluvium as shed hair grows back without medical intervention, but you do need to be diagnosed for pattern hair loss. If you have male pattern hair loss starting in your 20s or younger, you are likely highly DHT-sensitive, and need a DHT-blocker like finasteride to control it, and slow hair thinning. The TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment can thicken thinning hair, and stimulate growth from dormant hair follicles, but it cannot block DHT-formation. You need to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis first, as finasteride is a prescription medication. You can refer to this video about the different factors of pattern hair loss in men, and how they are treated - ua-cam.com/video/d0tddJt6OME/v-deo.html
Hey doctor i used to have heavy density and very extremely thick curly hair but i got typhoid on august 2023 and recovered in 15days and then i again got typhoid in the same month and then recovered in 5 days i took heavy medications and now i am noticing my hair are extremely thin and my scalp is visible very easily my family has no signs of hairloss is this temporary can you please tell me how long will it take to get my old density back its been 7 to 8 months now
Hi @user-hg9fg9cg5u,S Sorry to hear about your problem. It is possible to shed more hair than usual because of the stress of your body from your illnesses, and medication. However, hair thinning is most often a genetic condition that may happen concurrently with your illness, but is not caused by illness. I would need to examine your scalp to properly diagnose for genetic pattern hair loss. You can refer to these videos on how we diagnose, and treat genetic pattern hair loss: ua-cam.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/BmwyXS0D5tg/v-deo.html
Doc , I’m 24 now .I have hair thinning & lost more that half of my hair especially in the last 2-3 years . I had a h/o Lean PCOD when I was 14 but I underwent treatment of almost 2 years & my hormone levels was normal since then . But my Hair volume has lost since I was diagnosed with Lean PCOD . I don’t know whether it’s androgenic alopecia or telogen effluvium. I have used many Peptides for past 2 years . My hair fall has stopped but There is no much difference in my volume / thickness.Should I start minoxidil doc ?
Hi FATHIMA HIBA, Sorry to hear about your problem. I hope you understand that I can't recommend specific treatments without diagnosing the cause of hair loss. This is especially true since telogen effluvium does not require medical treatment for shed hair to grow back, and our female pattern hair loss patients don't need to use minoxidil after our TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment. You can refer to this video on how we diagnose, and treat female pattern hair loss - ua-cam.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/v-deo.html
Hi @fouadsemmache6051, DHT is a major factor for hair thinning in men, but not the only factor as we can thicken thinning hair without a DHT-blocker, but a DHT-blocker does help with longevity and effectiveness of the treatment. For women, DHT is not a major factor as DHT-levels in women with genetic pattern hair loss are very low. Hair loss in women can be treated without a DHT-blocker. You can refer to these videos on how we can thicken thinning hair in men already on a DHT-blocker for years, and why women don't need a DHT-blocker to treat pattern hair loss: ua-cam.com/video/4YowPNRsv6I/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/xF_e36Z6QLg/v-deo.html
I am 18 and i suffered from telogen effulvium from feb to april 2022 after it was over i had lost almost 40% of my hair and i didnt see any regrowth till november 2022. Now it has been over a year and i can see very little hairs on the affected area but the recovery is very slow i was thinking of using minoxidil but i am afraid that it may have certain side effects what should i do ??? cause the recovery is very slow it almost took 1.5 year to see some improvement
Hi @usmanamjad9911, I hope you understand that I would have to diagnose your condition with an examination first before I can recommend treatment, especially since telogen effluvium by itself doesn't require treatment, but concurrent pattern hair loss (hair thinning) does. If you can't see us for a diagnosis, I suggest you see a local doctor for an examination. I hope this helps you.
Hi @akanksharathod, Sorry, we don't currently offer the treatment in India, but we do have many Indian patients coming to the US for treatment. Since it is a non-surgical treatment with little to no recovery time, and in many cases no additional treatment, you don't need an extended stay in the US. Many patients actually get back on the plane home the same day as treatment, but I don't recommend this for everyone as it is dependent on general health condition and age. Some patients with advanced hair loss may get a second treatment 15-24 months after the first, and results for international patients are monitored through Skype, FaceTime, or email follow up.
My hairloss started, or I noticed it, in October 2022 - clumps of hair were coming out and my overall hair when I was washing it seemed sooo thin. I had covid on 7/30/22 and blood tests in February 2023 that showed ferritin at 14 and vitamin D at 24. So the dermatologist stated I needed iron IV and 50000 IU Vitamin D3. My levels were all fine by May 2023. My hair stopped shedding by February, but my overall hair is so much less dense - my ponytail is less than 1/2 than what it was. I do not notice bald spots or really a substantial spreading of the part. I notice tons of new hairs but the front of my hair under direct light is very thin. Is this really TE and not Androgenic Alopecia? Other than my father no-one else in my family has this. I am not on any medication and I am a 49 almost 50yo female. Or does it really take this long for your hair to grow back enough to notice increased density and overall thickness? Thank you for this video!
Hi @tinavancas3607, Sorry to hear about your problem. It is possible to have hair shedding due to telogen effluvium, and hair thinning due to androgenic alopecia concurrently. The genes for androgenic alopecia can come from several generations from both sides of your family, so it is even possible that you have them from a family member you’ve never even met. At your age, reduced estrogen levels can also affect your hair thickness. You do need to have a proper examination to diagnose the cause of your hair thinning. You can refer to these videos on how we treat androgenetic alopecia in women, and why hormonal factors at your age can also affect hair thickness: ua-cam.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/7On7DE9QTvo/v-deo.html
Doctor when my hair start to thinning then i shaved my head but after they are are not growing as they were before and hairs fall from the centre not from the root. Sometimes white bulb on the root Is it telogen effluvium ?
Hi @visionarymind098, It is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, but the hair will grow back. Telogen effluvium is exceeding this number temporarily due to severe stress. Pattern hair loss happens when those hairs grow back thinner after every shed, there is a delay in regrowth, and the number of regrowth cycles become more limited. The white bulb is not the root or the hair follicle, but is likely dead skin, or keratin. The root or follicle is still in place in the scalp so shed hair can grow again. If you have thinning hair, and have not yet been diagnosed, you do need to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis for genetic pattern hair loss/ androgenetic alopecia. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hey Doc, Im 25 year old male. Im currently thinning at the top. I went to the doctor and got blood work done. It showed that I was very low on Vitamin D. It was level 13, and was told that my hair follicles were healthy now. Is there a chance my hair can recover once I bring my Vitamin D3 level to the recommended level?
Hi @tajhwalker4462, While vitamin D is important for hair health and growth, hair thinning is usually caused by genetics, such as a DHT-sensitive scalp due to male genetic pattern hair loss, not nutrition. There are factors that need to be determined with an examination, such as thinning hair among thicker hairs. A proper scalp diagnosis is needed to determine if have genetic pattern hair loss. For now, it won't hurt to bring your vitamin D levels up, but I do recommend you see doctor experienced with hair loss treatment to diagnose your scalp condition. You can refer to this video on how we diagnose, and treat male pattern hair loss - ua-cam.com/video/BmwyXS0D5tg/v-deo.html
Hi Naresh kumar, As explained in the video, telogen effluvium doesn't require medical treatment for shed hair to grow back, so I don't recommend any medication to treat it, especially for someone so young. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi, Yes it is possible because the genes for pattern hair loss can come from several generations from both sides of your family, so it is possible that you have them from a family member you’ve never even met. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi M G, I don't use PRP or PRF alone for eyebrows, but we can thicken eyebrows with the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment. Darker skin types have more melanin, so more natural protection against the sun, but it's not enough to prevent sun damage from long exposure. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi, Pattern hair loss is a genetic condition hardwired into the DNA, so it can’t be completely cured or stopped. However, it can be managed to maximize hair thickness, and keep as much hair and scalp coverage as possible, for as long as possible. If you're male, active management may also include a DHT-blocker like finasteride to maximize results, and longevity of our treatment. You can refer to this video about it - ua-cam.com/video/B035EcHqllY/v-deo.html
Hey doctor! Do TE cause small amount of hair thinning in the top of the head including hair shedding, i lost some amount of volume on the top of my head while some of the hair's growing back with a thick diameter while the other's are growing having a small diameter although the rate of the hairs are entirely different is it TE or androgenetic alopecia?
Hi @physicsnova, Telogen effluvium by itself is not a cause for hair thinning, but it is possible to have genetic pattern hair loss concurrently, causing hair thinning and delayed regrowth of shed hair. Rates of thinning vary among individuals, so it's important to have a scalp examination to assess thinning. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi oreoeatsoreos, Shedding of 50-100 hairs a day is normal, and the hairs grow back. The white bulb at the end of shed hair is keratin, or dead skin, and it does not signal telogen effluvium. Telogen effluvium is shedding more than 100 hairs a day due to severe stress as a trigger. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hello doc, soo in my case i noticed i started shedding when i noticed my temples were thinning wich cause intense stress wich caused Seborrheic dermatitis and i think also caused TE but it was all in a matter of 1/2 weeks
Hi filipe, Sorry to hear about your problem. I suggest you see a dermatologist for a proper examination as you do seem to have more than one dermatologic condition, which would need diagnoses before treatments can be recommended. I hope this helps you.
Good afternoon doctor I have been diagnosed by telogen efluvium iam under medication and prp but my dermatologist hav not mentioned finasteride ,should I take it
Hi Irfan Slam, Finasteride is for blocking DHT that causes hair thinning in male pattern hair loss, not for the severe stress that causes hair shedding in telogen effluvium. In fact, medical treatment is not needed at all for telogen effluvium for shed hair to grow back. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Pikachu Pa, While there are no side effects associated with using hair fibers, there is no treatment needed for shed hair due to telogen effluvium to grow back. If you need hair fibers, I suggest you also confirm with your diagnosing doctor if you have thinning hair due to pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hii doctor I have hairloss issue when I was 16 it's about 50-100.and I have seborriheik dermatitis but my quality is decreased my volume hai decreased, Now I am 21 years old I got uveitis on my left eye and I also suffer from stressful situations in November than my hairfall are increasing 500 hair par day 😭😭😭when I comb or slightly pull my hair 5-10 hair comes . I also test so many things with local doctor .iron,CBC,vitD,B12 ,and thyroid and so many my vit d is low .I take medicine sinces 4 month. December to September my hairfall not stoped.and baby hair is so thin and that also filling what it that
Hi BRISHTI MANDAL. Sorry to hear about your problem. Vitamin D is important for immunity, as well as hair health, but it's easy to supplement as the body can synthesize its own vitamin D if it gets direct skin contact from sunlight. As for the cause of your hair loss, I do need to perform a physical examination before I can diagnose the exact cause. It is possible to have both hair thinning due to pattern hair loss, and hair shedding due to severe stress. You can refer to these videos on how we diagnose, and treat male, and female pattern hair loss: ua-cam.com/video/BmwyXS0D5tg/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/v-deo.html
Much better introduction music. The other intro you were doing was annoying me (music and credentials), so often skipped over it to get to the substance of the presentation.
Hi @miguelroscoe3148, It is possible to have hair shedding due to telogen effluvium, and hair thinning due to pattern hair loss concurrently. In these cases for men, I would treat the hair thinning as shown in the video, but hair shedding due to telogen effluvium usually doesn't require medical treatment for shed hair to grow back. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi doctor, I’m only 19 years old I started suddenly shedding in June and now in august it’s still there and I started to see my part got wider. I never had any issues with hair loss before I’m sad now
Hi @niahb5987, Sorry to hear about your problem. You do need to have a proper diagnosis for female pattern hair loss, which is progressive hair thinning, but it is possible to occur at the same time as increased hair shedding. If you can't see us for a diagnosis, I suggest you see a local doctor for an examination. You can refer to this video on how we diagnose, and treat female pattern hair loss - ua-cam.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/v-deo.html
Hi Soumya, You need to see an experienced doctor to confirm your condition. You can refer to these videos on the differences between hair shedding and hair thinning; and how we diagnose and treat female pattern hair loss: ua-cam.com/video/1B1hz-mTs38/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/v-deo.html
Doc iam 18 and half years old and using finasterade. My father grown in height till the age of 24. So because of using fill will it stunt my height growth
Hi amind, While 18-years-old is the minimum age for a finasteride prescription because of male reproductive development, it is still a prescription medication, so you should not be taking it without a prescription. Finasteride isn't linked to stunting height. You should be discussing these issues with the doctor who prescribed it to you. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Not Saying, Pattern hair loss is a genetic condition that is not completely cured or stopped, but managed. Scalp injection treatments are limited to treating thinning hair, and hair follicles that are still viable for growth, but they cannot revive completely miniaturized hair follicles. You can refer to these videos on how we diagnose, and treat female pattern hair loss; and why pattern hair loss is actively managed to maximize hair thickness, and scalp coverage: ua-cam.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/B035EcHqllY/v-deo.html
Hi yassmamop 1, It's not clear if there is actual hair loss, as it is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, and they do grow back. A scalp examination is needed to determine if there is actual hair loss, and if there is, the cause of hair loss needs to be diagnosed before treatment can be recommended. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Doctor , I am a 16 year old male and I am facing hairloss and hairthinning a lot , my younger brother have healthy hairs and so do my father but still after applying oil I can see my scalp through my hair , I don't know if it is telogen or genetic but I had full thick and healthy hair before lockdown , pls help me doctor
Hi HeroheroSan, Sorry to hear about your problem. I would need to examine your scalp to make a proper diagnosis, so if you can't come in for an examination, I suggest you see a local dermatologist for an examination to determine the cause of your hair loss. I hope this helps you.
Hi Doc, M26, my hair is thinning at the temple angle, i was diagnosed with Moderate T.E. and(presence of Fungal spores)?Tinea.Capitis. Can TE mimic AGA in some cases?
Hi Jacob Smith, Sorry to hear about your problem. AGA is hair thinning, so it looks different from patches of shed hair. Tinea capitis can appear like patches of shed hair as well. It is possible to have both telogen effluvium, and genetic pattern hair loss, so microscopic scalp examination is needed to determine if you have thinning hair as well. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Doc! I would be SO GRATEFUL if you could share with me some advice I recently underwent a hair transplant procedure after being diagnosed with genetic alopecia, primarily based on a visual assessment by a dermatologist. I had been taking Finasteride for two years before deciding to have a Trichoscope examination. During the Trichoscope examination, the doctor's notes suggested a possible diagnosis of Telogen Effluvium (the Diagnosis seems now off, because I never noticed significant hairloss. My hairloss has always been more slow and steady). While this was a term I wasn't familiar with, I was relieved that the doctor didn't mention significant hair miniaturization, worsening hair loss, or the ineffectiveness of my medication. I must admit that at the time, I didn't give it much thought. This was my first and only Trichoscope examination, which I had never undergone before starting Finasteride treatment. About three months later, I sought a hair transplant with a different doctor. During the examination, this new doctor mentioned some miniaturization in my donor area. I then showed him the document indicating the possibility of Telogen Effluvium. The doctor explained that the miniaturization in the donor area could be due to Telogen Effluvium or the effects of DHT on some of my hair follicles. I ultimately underwent a successful hair transplant. Upon returning home, I delved into extensive research about donor areas and miniaturization. My panic set in when I discovered information about DUPA (Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia) and the recommendation that individuals with DUPA should avoid hair transplants. This revelation has left me in a state of anxiety, as I now wonder whether I might have DUPA instead of Telogen Effluvium. Strangely, I had never perceived thinning in my back hair; my primary concern had always been my receding hairline. I can't recall experiencing any noticeable excess shedding; my hair loss has consistently followed a slow and gradual progression. It's important to note that I've always had very fine, wispy, and wavy hair. Is it common for individuals with genetic alopecia to exhibit some degree of miniaturization in the donor area? Will my Hair transplant be okay? Im 37 years old. Im like a Norwood 2/3. Thank you in advance for any assistance or guidance you can provide.
Hi @chris5897, DUPA is a rare condition, but we do treat it with our TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment, and without a hair transplant. It is similar to genetic pattern hair loss, but it also affects the permanent zones like the donor area, and the sides of the head. The problem with DUPA, as well as with FUE hair transplants in pattern hair loss, is that hair grafts are still prone to hair thinning. You can refer to this videos about how our treatment to thicken thinning hair can be an alternative to hair transplant surgery: ua-cam.com/video/Zi6Bxog9_SE/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/maKL78Fz3js/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/A3huSHGYrFU/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/rIlI55F478w/v-deo.html
Hello Doctor, I am 25 years old! I am having hairfall for more then a month now , my hair falls somewhere around 60-70 strands per day😔 i had long thick hair and now density is decreasing, i have less iron levels then normal , i have started taking iron medicines , i cry everyday for this hairfall , i went to doctors they never really examine my scalp , they give me multivitamins and minoxidil, i am not sure , what to do whom to show, do you have any recommendations or what it could be , doctors say it is telogen effluvium , i had stress for some time now , but not even this much 😔 please suggest what could i do for proper diagnosis
Hi Mansi Goyal, It is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, but the hair will grow back. Pattern hair loss happens when those hairs grow back thinner after every shed, there is a delay in regrowth, and the number of regrowth cycles become more limited. You can refer to these videos about why hair shedding is not pattern hair loss; and how we diagnose, and treat male pattern hair loss: ua-cam.com/video/1B1hz-mTs38/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/BmwyXS0D5tg/v-deo.html
hey doc, male pattern balding and TE are not mutually excluisve right? if somebody has "slow" MPB and then TE hits, ofc the hairline and top of the head are getting (even) more visible, while also the rest of the scalp is affected by TE.
Hi Jonas Dauerbrenner, Yes, it is possible to have both male pattern hair loss, and telogen effluvium concurrently. Male pattern hair loss is progressive hair thinning after shed hair grows back, a delay in regrowth after shedding, and a limited number of hair growth cycles. Telogen effluvium is severe stress-induced, higher than normal hair shedding, but it's a temporary condition, not progressive. Your hairline may look more sparse with both thinning hair, and shed hair. You can refer to these videos on how we diagnose and treat male pattern hair loss, and the individual factors of pattern hair loss in men: ua-cam.com/video/BmwyXS0D5tg/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/d0tddJt6OME/v-deo.html
Hey doc i am 19 and i was having thick hair and very dense hair and i took a crash diet after that my hair density decreased and thinning of individual hair also occured iam confused now that is my condition telogen effluvium or androgenetic alopecia and my whenever i pull individual hair at the end i can see a white bulb is it a indication of telogen effluvium? Plzz can u give me an answer bcz am soo depressed now a days
Hi Faheem Abdusalam, Sorry to hear about your problem. Crash dieting can cause telogen effluvium as it does put stress on the body. However, it possible to have hair thinning due to pattern hair loss at the same time. I suggest you don't pull out your hair as it doing this repeatedly can permanently damage hair follicles, but the white bulb is dead skin or keratin, which is not an indicator for any hair loss condition. I suggest you have a proper scalp examination to diagnose the condition(s) you may have. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Itz Me, There are other topical hair treatments available, but none I recommend as being particularly effective. My androgenetic alopecia patients featured in my videos don't need to use minoxidil after our injection treatment. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir, i took isotretnoin and after 2-3 months i got severe hair shedding. More than 300 hair in one wash. My volume of hair has reduced significantly also texture got really dry. How long will it take to recover. Kindly help
Hi Anshu Bhai, Temporary hair shedding does sometimes occur with isotretinoin. I suggest you consult your prescribing dermatologist about it as they can examine your scalp for a diagnosis. I hope this helps you.
hello doctor. im 24 years old and I've never had a hair fall before. in this febuary i've started using creatin. and since April or May i have hair loss. of course i've stopped using creatin since June. last week i when i went to the doctor she said u have TE. btw between october -december I had 3 sessions of mesotherapy and 3 sessions of PRP. so my question is what im a supposed to do from now on? and the last thing is i might have seborrheic dermatitis. i have too much bran. please help me doctor. i have to fix the TE
Hi arc jimmy, Telogen effluvium does not require medical treatment for shed hair to grow back, as explained in the video. I only advise medical treatment if you also have concurrent genetic pattern hair loss, which is progressive hair thinning. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Doctor please clear my this point. Can hair thinning occur due to nutrient deficiency too? I am 154cm and weigh 40kg with 20ng per litre ferritin. I get tired easily and have digestive issues. Mainly gerd. Many of my hair are becoming like vellus hair. My hair density is decreasing every year. I am 25 year old. Can hair thin only due to androgenetic alopecia or nutrients play a role too?
Hi @faizahkhalil8011, Nutritional deficiencies generally do not cause hair thinning, but it is possible in some cases for an iron deficiency or anemia to cause hair thinning. You do need a proper diagnosis to determine the cause of your hair loss as I indicated in my reply to your previous comment.
You're welcome, @@faizahkhalil8011. I suggest you have the cause of your hair thinning diagnosed locally, because if it is caused by PCOS, or by anemia, it can be treated more cost-efficiently locally.
Hi doctor , I am 18 yrs old male. I faced telogen effluvium 2 months ago, due to a stressfull event . It only lasted for a week.Then shedding stopped. I have a doubt , does telogen effluvium speedup the arrival of androgenetic alopecia. Pls reply doctor.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I am afraid about it😢.
Hi @sebastianbiju7229, Telogen effluvium does not speed up androgenetic alopecia. Androgenetic alopecia is a genetic condition, so there isn't anything that can trigger it. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi @pragooutube, Constant tension on hair follicles in traction alopecia can permanently damage the follicles, which can't be revived, so often the only treatment for traction alopecia is hair transplant surgery. That being said, we have treated patients with concurrent pattern hair loss, and traction alopecia without surgery. You can see some of these patients in this video - ua-cam.com/video/7_g7TC59YUI/v-deo.html
Doctor your knowledge is superb i m also facing hair fall front side of scalp is slightly visible not completely due to excess of hair fall hair having more curls tangle and too much sensitive I contacted many doc but some say endrogenic some said dur to poor nutrition please advice me what should I do i m in india I can't come in your city but your suggestion helps me lot....
Hi Avani, I hope you understand that I can't make a diagnosis without examining your scalp. However, poor nutrition is not likely a cause for hair loss. Your scalp needs to be examined for hair thinning, which is 95% of cases androgenetic alopecia/ pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hey sir, I am experiencing thinning around my temples but no where else on my head and it’s been like that for 3 months now should I be expecting it to grow back or am I balding?
Hi for use, You would need a proper examination to determine if you have pattern hair loss. You can refer to these videos on how we diagnose, and treat male, and female pattern hair loss; and how we treat temple hair thinning in both men, and women: ua-cam.com/video/BmwyXS0D5tg/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/Rkp8CUHR4WU/v-deo.html
Hello doctor I'm 21 and suffering from male pattern baldness.... I've been on minoxidil and finasteride for 2 years....will moderate weight lifting cause this to speed up mpb?
Hi Jmac, Weightlifting or any other exercise will not speed up, or slow down the aggressiveness of your hair loss pattern. I hope this clarifies things for you.
My hair has been thinning slowly amd slowly ever since 2021...... Now its noticeably thin.. I went for blood test, My thyroid levels are same, and pretty much every iron and etc levels were in check.. idk what it is , I have no clue.. my hair looks exactly like the one in your thumbnail
Hi @howtfdoihave115subs7, Hair thinning due to female genetic pattern hair loss will not show in a blood test, and requires an examination by someone experienced with treating hair loss to diagnose. Female pattern hair loss sometimes requires scalp biopsies to diagnose as there are more possible causes of hair thinning in women than there are for men. You can refer to this video on how we diagnose, and treat female pattern hair loss - ua-cam.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/v-deo.html
Doctor please answer me this. I'm Male 15 and the density on the temples and sides of my hair is decreasing for idk how long. But I noticed this back in May. I lose about 20-30 hair daily for i think half a year or possible even months more than half a year. I can now see mt scalp on my temples and sides not alot but when wet or brushed a specific way. What can this be aga or te?
Hi @AceeBrawlStars, 15 is generally too young for androgenetic alopecia in men. It is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, but the hair will grow back. Pattern hair loss happens when those hairs grow back thinner after every shed, there is a delay in regrowth, and the number of regrowth cycles become more limited. You can refer to this video about it - ua-cam.com/video/1B1hz-mTs38/v-deo.html
Hi@@AceeBrawlStars, I hope you understand that I can't diagnose what you are worried about without an examination. If you are worried about this, and you can't see us for consultation, I suggest you see a local dermatologist experienced with hair loss for a proper examination, and a diagnosis. I hope this helps you.
Brother please reply I loss weight 7 kg in two months … Then hair fall start 3 months after …. And from february 2023 hairfall , start now october 2023 and its still losing but less around 40 strands to 60 But catch us that u never loss a single hair before weight loss When i wash my hair two days my hair dont fall but when hair become oily then when i move hair with hand hair comes out pull test is poisitive How long does it take to stop and new hair when will grow sir in telogen effluvium when new hair come How many months or years or after hairfall stop then it will come or what Is it telogen effluvium or mpb . Previous years since my birth i have no hair fall it start just after weight losss
Hi @suryanshavtar5276, It is possible that the stress on the body from rapid weight loss can cause telogen effluvium. It takes the body several months to recover from telogen effluvium on its own, so shed hair grows back without medical treatment, but you should also ensure you are living a healthy lifestyle to reduce stress on the body. It is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, but the hair will grow back. Pattern hair loss happens when those hairs grow back thinner after every shed, there is a delay in regrowth, and the number of regrowth cycles become more limited. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi@@Dr.SURYANSH, Telogen effluvium, and hair thinning due to pattern hair loss can occur at the same time. You need to be properly diagnosed by an experienced doctor by having your scalp examined. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hello doctor, I suffered from hepatitis a 2 and half month back and was also hospitalized and now I my hairs ate falling so much when I brush or oil even my scalp from front is little bit visible...my hair are so thick bhut they are falling so it us te or aa
Hi mehak, Sorry to hear about what happened to you. It is more likely that you have telogen effluvium due to the mental, and physical stress of your condition, and your hospitalization. Shed hair should grow back as the stress on your body passes. If you are worried about possible androgenetic alopecia, a microscopic scalp exam can identify progressively thinning hair. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi doctor I am Daksh(22) ,Sir I am having chronic Telogen effluvium.........no stress nothing no unnecessary medication in past ........suggest me, what should I do as I am loosing hairs from my crown area rapidly....... I have used every medicine that my doc. Suggested as well as had a blood test in which every thing came normal.
Hi Daksh, Medication usually isn't needed for chronic telogen effluvium. I would have to diagnose for other causes of hair loss before I can recommend specific treatments for you. I hope you understand.
Hello Doctor. I'm 24 years old female. I have been trying to battle androgenetic alopecia since last 7 years. I have tried PRP injections, multivitamins etc every possible cure. I need to discuss the further course of action that I can take because my condition has worsened otherwise I'll have to shave my head completely. Please advise.
Hi Shreya Singh, Sorry to hear about your problem. While androgenetic alopecia cannot be cured as it's a genetic condition hardwired into the DNA, it can be managed so that thinning hair can grow back thicker. You can see in the video how we use a PRP combination treatment that only needs 1-2 treatment sessions to thicken thinning hair, and stimulate hair growth from dormant hair follicles, with results lasting 3-5 years. Minoxidil, spironolactone, PRP, or multivitamins are not needed after our treatment. You can refer to this video for more about how we diagnose, and treat androgenetic alopecia in women - ua-cam.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/v-deo.html
Doctor i lost 7 kg in 40 days and after 2 months i am losing hair….no hair line receding but there is thinning in front and crown…shed hair when shampooing and when hair become oily…but all hair i loss that has a white bulb …i have very low vit d ..please suggest someone ..do i have androgenic or telogen effluvium..please comment
Hi Suryansh Avtar, The stress on your body from dieting can cause telogen effluvium (higher than normal hair shedding). However, it is possible to have telogen effluvium, and genetic pattern hair loss concurrently which can manifest as hair thinning a the crown and hairline. Shed hair grows back, even with the white bulb attached, but pattern hair loss is when it grows back thinner, and there is a delay in regrowth. A physical examination is needed to properly diagnose your hair loss conditions. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD but doctor i had dht test which is normal …And also can you please tell that sir ..Growth of new hair will start when hair fall is happening or after hair fall stop sir..is thinning hair always means androgenic alopecia ..i have thinning density decrease after weight loss but no hair line recceding sir
Hi@@Dr.SURYANSH, Genetic male pattern hair loss is not caused by excessive DHT, it's caused by a genetic scalp sensitivity to DHT at normal levels. Hair thinning is usually genetic pattern hair loss, and is not caused by weight loss, or malnutrition. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi @rafikip9971, No, telogen effluvium by itself is temporary hair shedding only due to stress. If you have hair thinning at the temples, it's most likely due to genetic pattern hair loss, which can occur at the same time as telogen effluvium. A proper diagnosis is needed to confirm what you have. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Arpita Bose, Each treatment is custom formulated based on an individual’s hair loss profile, including age, gender, age of onset of hair loss, degree of hair loss, and other medications taken; and the treatment uses your own blood to prepare the PRP, so it has to be done in one of our offices in the US. We do have many Indian patients coming to the US for treatment. Since it is a non-surgical treatment with little to no recovery time, and in many cases no additional treatment, you don't need an extended stay in the US. Many patients actually get back on the plane home the same day as treatment, but I don't recommend this for everyone as it is dependent on general health condition and age. Some patients with advanced hair loss may get a second treatment 15-24 months after the first, and results for international patients are monitored through Skype, FaceTime, or email follow up.
I am a female with severe bitemporal hair loss that has been progressive since I was a teen. I was told I have PCOS but also my grandmother and some aunts have the same hair line thinning issue. I think it’s both PCOS and genetics for my hair line. Can hair transplant cure?
Hi Kaylnnnn, You should have your PCOS treated to see if your hair improves. While genetic pattern hair loss is not completely cured, it can be managed by thickening thinning hair, and stimulating hair growth from viable hair follicles that have stopped growing. You can refer to these videos on how we can thicken temporal hair without a hair transplant, and how we diagnose and treat female pattern hair loss: ua-cam.com/video/Rkp8CUHR4WU/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/v-deo.html

Hi Sofia Romanoli, Sorry to hear about your problem. Changes to hormone levels due to oral contraceptives can cause hair shedding, and it's also possible to have concurrent hair thinning due to do pattern hair loss. I suggest you see your gynecologist about hormone levels causing hair shedding.

Hi Chilli Milli Facts, Sorry to hear about your problem. Traumatic events, and the stress on your body from a poor diet can cause telogen effluvium. Telogen effluvium usually doesn't require medical treatment, but a definitive diagnosis of the condition is needed. I would need to do a scalp examination to diagnose you properly. In the meantime, you can reduce stress, and resume a healthier diet to see if it improves the condition of your hair. I hope this helps you.

Hi @stewie884, Scalp DHT-sensitivity and male pattern hair loss is a genetic condition that doesn't show up in blood tests, as all men have significant level of DHT in their bloodstream. A DHT-blocker like finasteride is a prescription medication, so you need to see an experienced doctor to examine your scalp to diagnose for male pattern hair loss, and then get issued a prescription for DHT-blocker like finasteride. You can refer to this video on how we diagnose, and treat male pattern hair loss - ua-cam.com/video/BmwyXS0D5tg/v-deo.html

Hi@@stewie884, The genes for pattern hair loss can come from several generations from both sides of your family, so it is possible that you have them from a family member you’ve never even met. I suggest you follow your doctor's diagnosis, and recommendations.
Hi Irfan Nadeem, I generally don't find scalp dermarolling, and hair serums effective for treating pattern hair loss, and telogen effluvium doesn't require medical treatment for shed hair to grow back. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi doc, I am a 19 year old male and have over the past few months noticed a general thinning along my scalp, it doesn't seem to be following any specific pattern, but it has noticeable thinned. I believe more hair than usual has been falling out in the shower, (at its worst it was around 100 in the shower, now down to around 40) My grandad on both my parents side only began to thin in their late 40s/ early 50s and my dad is currently 60 with thin, yet still present hair on his head.

Hello doc, is there a way to tell if I have genetic baldness or telogen effluvium? I’m 22 yr old male and my hair suddenly started to shed like crazy about 6-7 months ago and I did go through many stressful and tragic things in the last 2 years or so, I always had very thick and strong hair just like my dad who is over 50 years old and still has a full head of hair as well as most of other males in my family like we really have a strong hair genetically so I think its very unlikely for me to go bald but I know its not impossible
Hi Cardinale,
Sudden hair shedding is different from progressive hair thinning due to genetic pattern hair loss which occurs more gradually.

Bro did you find the reason of your hair fall?
Hey doc, I'm 18. I have less density of hair since i was born and now it has become even more less. I've been losing hair for about 10 months. It all started after i got COVID-19 and started working out like lifting weights etc. I could see atleast 15-20 hair while taking a shower. I'd literally sit there crying and been taking a lot of stress lately. I really don't know the root cause of my hairfall. I don't see any pattern to come to a conclusion. My hair is thin on the front, in the middle and on the crown. My hair is oily and have a bit of dandruff too. I'm not sure if it's due to androgenic alopecia or telogen effluviam. I got my blood test done and my iron, vitamin D and b12 levels were too low. I've been taking all of these supplements for 3 months but don't see any results yet. So are there any scalp tests to find out the root cause? Plz guide me. Thank you!!

Hi doc, the last 2 months i have been experiencing excessive hair loss that got worst the previous weeks because thr last 6 months i have been extremely stressed due to my final exmas. I also got a stress crisis this month. Im 18 and no one in my family is bald. I have thinned a little bit in the top o my head with no pattern i suppose. Your opinion?
Hi @srdizzy5720,
I hope you understand that proper medical opinion requires a physical examination. That said, as featured in the video, severe and rapid hair shedding is usually triggered by extreme stress, but this is a temporary condition, and shed hair grows back without medical intervention. It is possible for telogen effluvium, and male pattern hair loss (hair thinning) to happen concurrently. The genes for pattern hair loss can come from several generations from both sides of your family, so it is possible that you have them from a family member you’ve never even met. An examination is needed to determine what you have. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi doc, I've been anxious about the cause of my hair loss. I'm 23 years old, ever since at least Sept 2020 my hair has been progressively diffuse thinning on top, but it also has majorly thinned on the sides of my head as well, so that has me confused about whether it's male pattern baldness or something else. Blood test results show I'm slightly iron deficient but I don't think that's enough to cause the aggressive, progressive hair loss I'm having.
Hi Khalil Douis,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Male pattern hair loss can manifest as diffuse hair thinning, and diffuse unpattern alopecia (DUPA) can also affect the sides of the head. We do treat DUPA on a case-by-cae basis. An examination is needed to determine what the cause of your hair loss is. You can refer to this video on how we diagnose, and treat male pattern hair loss - ua-cam.com/video/BmwyXS0D5tg/v-deo.html

Hi @AditiSingh-lz2og,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Telogen effluvium, as discussed in the video, can occur due to an illness like typhoid fever causing stress on the body. Telogen effluvium or severe hair shedding usually occurs 3-5 months after the severe stress event. However, telogen effluvium is a temporary condition, and shed hair does grow back without medical intervention. You should still confirm with a scalp examination by an experienced doctor that you have no other concurrent causes of hair loss, such as progressive hair thinning to pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD what is duration of this telogen effluvium I mean till when I have to struggle with this problem. Do I have to consult with any dermo......
Hi@@AditiSingh-lz2og,
It is still a good idea to consult your dermatologist for an examination, and a proper diagnosis as there could be other concurrent causes of hair loss. Telogen effluvium usually lasts less than 6 months, but if it lasts longer then it is classified as chronic telogen effluvium. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi@@AditiSingh-lz2og,
As stated in my first reply, shed hair grows back, so you won't go bald. There is no treatment that can make shed hair due to telogen effluvium to grow faster, so I suggest you remain patient, and see your dermatologist for a proper examination, and diagnosis. I hope this helps you.

Hi @trendingvideos8835,

If you can't see us for an examination, I suggest you see a local dermatologist for a proper diagnosis. I hope this helps you.
Hi! I noticed your answering questions, I’m African with black hair, I got traction alopecia from right braids but this year after a stressful summer job, around 2 months later in November I was trying to use natural oil remedies (rosemary and castor) to regrow my hair but what happened was I got sudden burning sensation especially at the front of my hairline. I washed it off immediately. (My period did start a week later so I assumed it was hormones) but then the tingling sensations start up again once in a while. I bought folliculitis shampoo just incase but I’m unsure what exactly is the issue. I did believe it was right braids again because I did do them after my summer job and took them down when I felt the tingling by sensation

Can telogen effluvium happens to males also after typhoid?
Hi @luckytech3318,
Yes, telogen effluvium occurs in males, and it is possible for the stress on the body from illnesses like typhoid fever to induce telogen effluvium, but this is usually temporary severe hair shedding, and reversible. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi @sarawhatever1659,
Sorry to hear about your problem. You do need an experienced doctor to diagnose your condition, which can also be challenging for doctors because of other conditions like PCOS/PCOD causing hair thinning, so sometimes scalp biopsies are needed to confirm female pattern hair loss.

Hi Rodrigo Encalada,
I operate to remove genetic eye bags every day in my practice without an external incision on the eyelid skin, which is a specialized technique, so results look completely natural, like you never had eye bags. Prolapsed orbital fat does not return once removed, but it is possible for new orbital fat to prolapse. However, the results of lower eyelid surgery can last decades, and in many patients the surgery does last even longer than that. You can refer to these videos about how long lower eyelid surgery lasts, why not all lower eyelid surgeries to remove eye bags are not performed the same way by different surgeons, and the best procedure for puffy under eye bags:

Hi@@marcdebuck4014,
The stress on your body from illness can cause a temporary increase in hair shedding, but it won't cause hair thinning.
The white part at the end of a shed hair shaft is dead skin, or keratin, while the hair follicle remains in place to grow hair again. Pattern hair loss is the hair growing back progressively thinner, as well as a delay in regrowth as hair follicles miniaturize. I hope this clarifies things for you.

hello doctor.. my vitamin d is 15 and b12 is 234... and i have sudden hair fall from last 20-25 days. is it male pattrn or anything else.
Hi @anmolwadhwa1817,
As explained in the video, pattern hair loss is progressive hair thinning, not sudden hair shedding. It is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, and they do grow back, but pattern hair loss is when shed hair grows back thinner, and there is a delay in regrowth.
I hope you understand that I can't make a diagnosis for you without examining your scalp, so I suggest you see a local dermatologist for a proper scalp examination.
Hello sir, I'm 15 year old girl. I'm having sudden extreme hair fall from last 2 months so much that my hair density has become half of itself. I did my own research and thought that it is telogen ellivium but the problem is that the roots if my individual hair has become very thin compare to it's end . I'm extremely stressed because of it because of a lot young to have hair loss but I thinks I've androgenic alopecia. Is it reversible? Please reply
Hi @RDas19,
Sorry to hear about your problem. It is important to be properly diagnosed by a doctor experienced in genetic female pattern hair loss/ androgenetic alopecia. There are more potential causes of hair thinning in women there are for men, so it's not necessarily androgenetic alopecia. A proper scalp examination, with possible biopsies are needed for a definitive diagnose your condition. You can refer to these videos on possible causes of hair thinning in women; and how we diagnose, and treat female pattern hair loss:

Hey doctor I'm a 20 year old female. Last year I was diagnosed with telogen effluvium and then I regained my hair volume after meds. I got COVID after that I started loosing hair and after medication it stopped but sir I'm not able to get my thick hair back. I tried taking meds also but it's getting thin all over the length and the hair comes out with a white bulb on the root . How do I get my thick hair back? It's not much hairloss nowadays
Hi m Mir,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Telogen effluvium does not require medical treatment for shed hair to grow back. Shed hair with the white bulb However, it is possible to have a concurrent condition causing hair to thin, such as female pattern hair loss, or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). PCOS needs to be diagnosed by a gynecologist. You can refer to this more recent video on how we diagnose, and treat female pattern hair loss - ua-cam.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/v-deo.html
Hi Doc. I'm a 20 year old male and my hair has always been thick however i was hospitalized for depression in October and went through extreme stress due to being on mulitple medications which even caused a seizure. I've only recently noticed a lot of strands falling out in the shower and my hair does seem to appear much thinner. I do have baldness in the family genes however this was definitely not an issue before and happened quiet suddenly. Any advice?
Hi @jayycnation2003,
Sorry to hear about your problem. As described in the video, extreme mental stress, along with physical stress such as hospitalization, and potentially medications you are on, can cause excessive hair shedding or telogen effluvium.
It is possible to have telogen effluvium concurrently with genetic pattern hair loss, which is progressive hair thinning. The temporary shedding you're experiencing may have made thinning more noticeable. A scalp examination is needed to determine if your hair is thinning. Hair thinning requires medical intervention to manage, but severe hair shedding is temporary, and will grow back without medical intervention. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Do people with androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium have the same amount of anagen and telogen phases in % ? Because i have (according to a Scan) 38.2% telogen phase and 61.8% anagen phase at the back of my head.
While on my front i have 17.6% telogen and 82.4% anagen which is strange because i have indeed androgenetic alopecia. I have visibly a horseshoe pattern. But i somehow have hair loss at the back and sides of my hair as well😒. And Vitamin D was the ONLY thing i was really deficienct at 7.2 ng/ml.
Hi @ItalMiser117,
If you have androgenetic alopecia, which you likely do because of the horseshoe pattern, there may be a delay in your anagen phase starting for a certain percentage of hairs as regrowth is affected. Androgenetic alopecia is a genetic condition, and not due to nutrition or vitamin deficiencies. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hey doc.. I am 17 year old girl....in childhood I had very thick & shiny hair....but now after 2022 suddenly my half of hair fallout ,😭I am unable to find out the reason.... please help me ....why my hair is falling? What is the cure?.... every day I lose over 50 hairs😭😭..will they grow back?...I have tried some home remedies like using onion juice on the scalp...but still there is no results....hairfall is as it is 😭...
Hi Parul Majumder,
It is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, but the hair will grow back. Pattern hair loss happens when those hairs grow back thinner after every shed, there is a delay in regrowth, and the number of regrowth cycles become more limited. You need to have a proper scalp examination to determine if you have thinning hair. You can refer to this video about it - ua-cam.com/video/1B1hz-mTs38/v-deo.html
Doctor please guide me is it possible to suffer from genetic hairloss before 40 in females? I am losing hair since 5 years. Now i an 25 and have diffuse thinning on top of my scalp especially on left side.
Hi @faizahkhalil8011,
Sorry to hear about your problem. About 30% of women under age 50 have female pattern hair loss, but there are also other common causes of hair thinning in women such as PCOS or PCOD. An scalp examination, with possible biopsies, is needed to properly diagnose the cause of your hair thinning. You can refer to these videos on how we diagnose, and treat female pattern hair loss; and the other possible causes of hair thinning in women:

Hello doc, I am 20years old and for around 2years I have loss 2/3 of my hair and it’s increasing day by day more... Can you suggest me any thing for this accesive hair loss please😢
Hi @johurahasan3888,
Sorry to hear about your problem. It's not clear if you have severe hair shedding due to an undiagnosed condition, or rapid hair thinning due to genetics. I hope you understand that you need to have the cause of hair loss properly diagnosed by an experienced doctor before treatment can be recommended. You can refer to these videos about the differences of hair shedding from genetic pattern hair loss; the different causes of hair thinning; and how we diagnose and treat male, and female pattern hair loss:

Hi, i had a head full of curly hair until age 16/17. Then slowly began the hair loss. I never saw lots of hair in my brush or on my pillow. But slowly i noticed more and more scalp getting visible through my hair. Years and years and it got worse, but so slowly. Now I'm 34. I've tried everything in those years. The dermatologist said it's TE, but it also looks like alopecia diffusa to me. How will i know the difference? Is it hormonal? 🥴
Hi @Ele.Vation.13,
As featured in the video, genetic pattern hair loss/ androgenetic alopecia is gradual and progressive hair thinning, while telogen effluvium is temporary higher than normal hair shedding. The effects of telogen effluvium alone are temporary, so if you see effects years later, it is more likely genetic pattern hair loss. A doctor experienced with hair loss treatment can give you a definitive diagnosis.
You can refer to this video on how we diagnose, and treat female pattern hair loss - ua-cam.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/v-deo.html
OK but intelligent hair come back weaker every time mimicking miniaturization anyway so hair shedding versus miniaturization is not a clear way to tell
Hi @austinzizzi1142,
Shed hair from telogen effluvium alone grows back to its original thickness. However, it is possible for for telogen effluvium, and hair thinning due to genetic pattern hair loss to occur at the same time. A scalp examination is needed to properly diagnose the conditions you have. While telogen effluvium does not require treatment for shed hair to grow back, treatment is needed if hair is growing progressively thinner. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD I have a chronic illness and I underwent hyperthermia to try and fix it but all it did was make my hair miniaturize rapidly three months after. I had been experiencing TE shed before the fever even and miniaturization directly after. The only treatment for chronic TE is to solve the underlying condition correct? Could my situation still qualify for chronic TE?
@@AmiyaPrasadMD I’ve had multiple scalp exams by different dermatologists and no one can determine what it is. I don’t think scalp exams or biopsies are very deterministic and seem to be largely subjective
Hi@@austinzizzi1142,
I would have to examine your scalp to make a diagnosis before I can determine your exact condition. Shedding due to telogen effluvium does occur with chronic illnesses, or sudden health conditions like hyperthermia. However, it's hair thinning or miniaturization that needs to be diagnosed. I hope you understand.
Hi doctor
Please help me
I'm 24 and
I'm suffering from hair fall
For 2 years and half now
About 3 years ago I had a surgery
I had long thick healthy hair before that
But now I have hair fall for this long and I feel like there is something wrong with my scalp too
Like it's not healthy
My scalp wasn't oily before the hair fall started
But now it is
And if I don't wash my hair even for a day my hair falls more like crazy and I feel like inflammation in my scalp
Some doctors said it's chronic stress and some said
It looks like it's female pattern baldness but anyone in my family doesn't have that
But I started to use minoxidil it was good at the first but I didn't know if I stop it those hairs will fall again
But again after a year I was feeling hopeless and I started to use minoxidil again
But no matter what the baby hairs fall after a while
And I'm also stressed all the time and I have anxiety
My blood test report showed my cortisol is high
Is it possible that the hair loss is because of high cortisol not androgenic alopecia?
And can it be reversible after controlling the stress by medication?
Hi @mahdiyehgomar3640,
Sorry to hear about your problem. As detailed in the video, severe hair shedding is most often stress induced, and progressive hair thinning is associated with androgenetic alopecia, but it is possible for both conditions to occur concurrently. The genes for androgenetic alopecia can come from several generations from both sides of your family, so it is even possible that you have them from a family member you’ve never even met.
Minoxidil appears to delay natural hair shedding, so if you stop using it, you can get a sudden hair shed.
I would need to examine your scalp for androgenetic alopecia before recommending treatment. Hair shedding due to severe stress usually doesn't require medical treatment, as explained in the video. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi plz help me to resolve my issue. I'm a 17 year old girl or I have been shedding a lot of hair since past 3 months in the bathroom and my clothes everywhere. I'll alomst lost my 50 % hairs..Earlier I was taking vitamin supplements but it did not help me. I also consulted the dermatologist and he did a blood test, Vitamin 3. Or I got the report of thyroid and all the reports are clear ....prescribed medicines of the doctors have not any effect on my hair
I am still having a lot of hair shedding. Please tell me whether I have androgenic alopecia or telogen effluvium
Hi @user-wz6cp4wo4d,
Sorry to hear about your problem. As detailed in the video, severe hair shedding due to extreme stress is associated with telogen effluvium, and does not require medical treatment for shed hair to grow back Androgenic alopecia is progressive hair thinning, not hair shedding. However, this is not a definitive diagnosis as I would need to examine your scalp. I hope this clarifies things for you.
So mine started 6 months after an ectopic pregnancy. It’s been 5-6 months of shedding then around the time of my period I get more. One derm said there is no patterns to it and that was it and it’s none scarring. Is this good or bad and what is likely going on TE or AGA?
Hi @jujub428,
It is possible you have postpartum hair shedding due to changes in hormone levels. If this is the case, then shedding stops as hormone levels balance on their own. You can consult your gynecologist to diagnose it properly. AGA is progressive hair thinning, not hair shedding. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi doctor, i am a 16 yr old female and i used to have thick hair but recently i have been losing more and more hair and the volume has reduced to almost half.. im losing about 300 hairs a day and i don't know why because i did not face any stressfull event.. is this tellogen effluvium or female pattern hair loss? And is there any way i can get my hair back? I sit there crying in the shower everyday and i cant concentrate on my studies.. i have exams soon and this is really affecting my daily life. Is there any way to reverse this condition?
Hi @_ishana.xd_,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Excessive hair shedding is not female pattern hair loss, because female pattern hair loss is progressive hair thinning. Telogen effluvium is reversible, but you do need to be properly diagnosed by an experienced doctor to rule out other causes of hair shedding, such as autoimmune conditions. If you can't see us for a diagnosis, I suggest you see a local dermatologist for an examination. I hope this helps you.
hey dr amiya does minoxodil product resiue or product residue in general cause hairloss ? or clog hairfollicles?
Hi @Dalba7,
While minoxidil is not the best treatment for hair loss, the drug/material itself does not cause hair loss, or clog hair follicles. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi doctor , im 20, and Im experienceing hair loss since 4-5 yrr intially my hair hair loss was not so bad and use to stop sometime and comeback again but now since 2 or 3 yrs its constant and too much i see my falling hair everywhere during hair wash even if i dont rub scalp hardly when shampooing my hairs falls to much. Until now my scalp is not too much visible or bald but im seeing thining hair . I went to a dermatologist for check but he didnt even checked or examined my scalp , without any examination he said its telogen effluvium and he just wrote prescription of 3 medicine including monoxidil 5% ( for twice a day use) and a shampoo and said come here again after 3 mnths i havent bought those medicine yet because i couldn't trust that doctor . Thats why im confuse and dont know whom to consult and trust .thats why I want to take your advice doctor .
My hair strand are very stiff and dry near the surface of head and my scalp is itchy also and have mild dandruffs and also I feel very little pain in my hair strands near to the head's surface or at the hair joining point with skin when i move my hair with my hand.
Hi @plyer1231,
Hair shedding is not genetic pattern hair loss, which is progressive hair thinning. It is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, and they do grow back. Pattern hair loss happens when the shed hair grows back thinner, and there is a delay in regrowth. Medication is not needed to treat telogen effluvium. I can't diagnose if you have pattern hair loss without an examination. Since it's not clear if you are male or female, you can refer to these videos on how we diagnose, and treat male, and female pattern hair loss:

My hair thinning day by day, in a single day i lose almost 200 hair, my receding hairline not gone back, can i have telogen effluvium plz suggest me any medicine or give me any solution, i am from Pakistan
Hi Respect 😎😎,
Sorry to hear about your problems. Hair shedding, and hair thinning are two separate issues, but they can occur at the same time, as explained in the video. No treatment is needed for telogen effluvium as shed hair grows back without medical intervention, but you do need to be diagnosed for pattern hair loss.
If you have male pattern hair loss starting in your 20s or younger, you are likely highly DHT-sensitive, and need a DHT-blocker like finasteride to control it, and slow hair thinning. The TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment can thicken thinning hair, and stimulate growth from dormant hair follicles, but it cannot block DHT-formation. You need to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis first, as finasteride is a prescription medication. You can refer to this video about the different factors of pattern hair loss in men, and how they are treated - ua-cam.com/video/d0tddJt6OME/v-deo.html
Hey doctor i used to have heavy density and very extremely thick curly hair but i got typhoid on august 2023 and recovered in 15days and then i again got typhoid in the same month and then recovered in 5 days i took heavy medications and now i am noticing my hair are extremely thin and my scalp is visible very easily my family has no signs of hairloss is this temporary can you please tell me how long will it take to get my old density back its been 7 to 8 months now
Hi @user-hg9fg9cg5u,S
Sorry to hear about your problem. It is possible to shed more hair than usual because of the stress of your body from your illnesses, and medication. However, hair thinning is most often a genetic condition that may happen concurrently with your illness, but is not caused by illness. I would need to examine your scalp to properly diagnose for genetic pattern hair loss. You can refer to these videos on how we diagnose, and treat genetic pattern hair loss:
ua-cam.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/v-deo.html

Doc , I’m 24 now .I have hair thinning & lost more that half of my hair especially in the last 2-3 years . I had a h/o Lean PCOD when I was 14 but I underwent treatment of almost 2 years & my hormone levels was normal since then . But my Hair volume has lost since I was diagnosed with Lean PCOD . I don’t know whether it’s androgenic alopecia or telogen effluvium. I have used many Peptides for past 2 years . My hair fall has stopped but There is no much difference in my volume / thickness.Should I start minoxidil doc ?
Hi FATHIMA HIBA,
Sorry to hear about your problem. I hope you understand that I can't recommend specific treatments without diagnosing the cause of hair loss. This is especially true since telogen effluvium does not require medical treatment for shed hair to grow back, and our female pattern hair loss patients don't need to use minoxidil after our TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment. You can refer to this video on how we diagnose, and treat female pattern hair loss - ua-cam.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/v-deo.html
what treatment did you use exactly?
Hair thinning could be caused by other factors rather than DHT ?
Hi @fouadsemmache6051,
DHT is a major factor for hair thinning in men, but not the only factor as we can thicken thinning hair without a DHT-blocker, but a DHT-blocker does help with longevity and effectiveness of the treatment. For women, DHT is not a major factor as DHT-levels in women with genetic pattern hair loss are very low. Hair loss in women can be treated without a DHT-blocker. You can refer to these videos on how we can thicken thinning hair in men already on a DHT-blocker for years, and why women don't need a DHT-blocker to treat pattern hair loss:

I am 18 and i suffered from telogen effulvium from feb to april 2022 after it was over i had lost almost 40% of my hair and i didnt see any regrowth till november 2022. Now it has been over a year and i can see very little hairs on the affected area but the recovery is very slow i was thinking of using minoxidil but i am afraid that it may have certain side effects what should i do ??? cause the recovery is very slow it almost took 1.5 year to see some improvement
Hi @usmanamjad9911,
I hope you understand that I would have to diagnose your condition with an examination first before I can recommend treatment, especially since telogen effluvium by itself doesn't require treatment, but concurrent pattern hair loss (hair thinning) does. If you can't see us for a diagnosis, I suggest you see a local doctor for an examination. I hope this helps you.
Do you have centre in Bangalore? Im suffering from AGA. Want to go for stem cell treatment
Hi @akanksharathod,
Sorry, we don't currently offer the treatment in India, but we do have many Indian patients coming to the US for treatment. Since it is a non-surgical treatment with little to no recovery time, and in many cases no additional treatment, you don't need an extended stay in the US. Many patients actually get back on the plane home the same day as treatment, but I don't recommend this for everyone as it is dependent on general health condition and age. Some patients with advanced hair loss may get a second treatment 15-24 months after the first, and results for international patients are monitored through Skype, FaceTime, or email follow up.
My hairloss started, or I noticed it, in October 2022 - clumps of hair were coming out and my overall hair when I was washing it seemed sooo thin. I had covid on 7/30/22 and blood tests in February 2023 that showed ferritin at 14 and vitamin D at 24. So the dermatologist stated I needed iron IV and 50000 IU Vitamin D3. My levels were all fine by May 2023. My hair stopped shedding by February, but my overall hair is so much less dense - my ponytail is less than 1/2 than what it was. I do not notice bald spots or really a substantial spreading of the part. I notice tons of new hairs but the front of my hair under direct light is very thin. Is this really TE and not Androgenic Alopecia? Other than my father no-one else in my family has this. I am not on any medication and I am a 49 almost 50yo female. Or does it really take this long for your hair to grow back enough to notice increased density and overall thickness? Thank you for this video!
Hi @tinavancas3607,
Sorry to hear about your problem. It is possible to have hair shedding due to telogen effluvium, and hair thinning due to androgenic alopecia concurrently. The genes for androgenic alopecia can come from several generations from both sides of your family, so it is even possible that you have them from a family member you’ve never even met. At your age, reduced estrogen levels can also affect your hair thickness. You do need to have a proper examination to diagnose the cause of your hair thinning. You can refer to these videos on how we treat androgenetic alopecia in women, and why hormonal factors at your age can also affect hair thickness:

Doctor when my hair start to thinning then i shaved my head but after they are are not growing as they were before and hairs fall from the centre not from the root. Sometimes white bulb on the root
Is it telogen effluvium ?
Hi @visionarymind098,
It is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, but the hair will grow back. Telogen effluvium is exceeding this number temporarily due to severe stress. Pattern hair loss happens when those hairs grow back thinner after every shed, there is a delay in regrowth, and the number of regrowth cycles become more limited.
The white bulb is not the root or the hair follicle, but is likely dead skin, or keratin. The root or follicle is still in place in the scalp so shed hair can grow again. If you have thinning hair, and have not yet been diagnosed, you do need to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis for genetic pattern hair loss/ androgenetic alopecia. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hey Doc, Im 25 year old male. Im currently thinning at the top. I went to the doctor and got blood work done. It showed that I was very low on Vitamin D. It was level 13, and was told that my hair follicles were healthy now. Is there a chance my hair can recover once I bring my Vitamin D3 level to the recommended level?
Hi @tajhwalker4462,
While vitamin D is important for hair health and growth, hair thinning is usually caused by genetics, such as a DHT-sensitive scalp due to male genetic pattern hair loss, not nutrition. There are factors that need to be determined with an examination, such as thinning hair among thicker hairs. A proper scalp diagnosis is needed to determine if have genetic pattern hair loss. For now, it won't hurt to bring your vitamin D levels up, but I do recommend you see doctor experienced with hair loss treatment to diagnose your scalp condition.
You can refer to this video on how we diagnose, and treat male pattern hair loss - ua-cam.com/video/BmwyXS0D5tg/v-deo.html
Hello Doctor, For Telogen Effovium, can we give Hair Fact Pro Immune V tablet for 14 year old ? Do you recommend
Hi Naresh kumar,
As explained in the video, telogen effluvium doesn't require medical treatment for shed hair to grow back, so I don't recommend any medication to treat it, especially for someone so young. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Doctor in my family no one is bald both father and mother side but doctor tells my hair fall is male pattern ,can this possible?
Hi,
Yes it is possible because the genes for pattern hair loss can come from several generations from both sides of your family, so it is possible that you have them from a family member you’ve never even met. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Prp and Prf can be done for eyebrows sir?
Why Skin cancer very very rare in india
Hi M G,
I don't use PRP or PRF alone for eyebrows, but we can thicken eyebrows with the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment.
Darker skin types have more melanin, so more natural protection against the sun, but it's not enough to prevent sun damage from long exposure. I hope this clarifies things for you.
is prp ecm temporary? after 5 years do u lose it?
do you start losing it gradually?
Hi,
Pattern hair loss is a genetic condition hardwired into the DNA, so it can’t be completely cured or stopped. However, it can be managed to maximize hair thickness, and keep as much hair and scalp coverage as possible, for as long as possible. If you're male, active management may also include a DHT-blocker like finasteride to maximize results, and longevity of our treatment. You can refer to this video about it - ua-cam.com/video/B035EcHqllY/v-deo.html
Hey doctor! Do TE cause small amount of hair thinning in the top of the head including hair shedding, i lost some amount of volume on the top of my head while some of the hair's growing back with a thick diameter while the other's are growing having a small diameter although the rate of the hairs are entirely different is it TE or androgenetic alopecia?
Hi @physicsnova,
Telogen effluvium by itself is not a cause for hair thinning, but it is possible to have genetic pattern hair loss concurrently, causing hair thinning and delayed regrowth of shed hair. Rates of thinning vary among individuals, so it's important to have a scalp examination to assess thinning. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hello Doctor, is hair with a white bulb at the end of it a sign of TE?
Hi oreoeatsoreos,
Shedding of 50-100 hairs a day is normal, and the hairs grow back. The white bulb at the end of shed hair is keratin, or dead skin, and it does not signal telogen effluvium. Telogen effluvium is shedding more than 100 hairs a day due to severe stress as a trigger. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hello doc, soo in my case i noticed i started shedding when i noticed my temples were thinning wich cause intense stress wich caused Seborrheic dermatitis and i think also caused TE but it was all in a matter of 1/2 weeks
Hi filipe,
Sorry to hear about your problem. I suggest you see a dermatologist for a proper examination as you do seem to have more than one dermatologic condition, which would need diagnoses before treatments can be recommended. I hope this helps you.
Good afternoon doctor I have been diagnosed by telogen efluvium iam under medication and prp but my dermatologist hav not mentioned finasteride ,should I take it
Hi Irfan Slam,
Finasteride is for blocking DHT that causes hair thinning in male pattern hair loss, not for the severe stress that causes hair shedding in telogen effluvium. In fact, medical treatment is not needed at all for telogen effluvium for shed hair to grow back. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir Iam diagnosed with telogen effluvium and iam using hair fibres which doesn't hav any chemicals in daily basis do they hav any side effects
Hi Pikachu Pa,
While there are no side effects associated with using hair fibers, there is no treatment needed for shed hair due to telogen effluvium to grow back. If you need hair fibers, I suggest you also confirm with your diagnosing doctor if you have thinning hair due to pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hii doctor
I have hairloss issue when I was 16 it's about 50-100.and I have seborriheik dermatitis but my quality is decreased my volume hai decreased,
Now I am 21 years old
I got uveitis on my left eye and I also suffer from stressful situations in November than my hairfall are increasing 500 hair par day 😭😭😭when I comb or slightly pull my hair 5-10 hair comes . I also test so many things with local doctor .iron,CBC,vitD,B12 ,and thyroid and so many my vit d is low .I take medicine sinces 4 month. December to September my hairfall not stoped.and baby hair is so thin and that also filling what it that
Hi BRISHTI MANDAL.
Sorry to hear about your problem. Vitamin D is important for immunity, as well as hair health, but it's easy to supplement as the body can synthesize its own vitamin D if it gets direct skin contact from sunlight.
As for the cause of your hair loss, I do need to perform a physical examination before I can diagnose the exact cause. It is possible to have both hair thinning due to pattern hair loss, and hair shedding due to severe stress. You can refer to these videos on how we diagnose, and treat male, and female pattern hair loss:
ua-cam.com/video/BmwyXS0D5tg/v-deo.html

Much better introduction music. The other intro you were doing was annoying me (music and credentials), so often skipped over it to get to the substance of the presentation.
Thanks for watching, Emil Phoryew! And for your comments!
What if you have both hair shedding and hair thinning?
Hi @miguelroscoe3148,
It is possible to have hair shedding due to telogen effluvium, and hair thinning due to pattern hair loss concurrently. In these cases for men, I would treat the hair thinning as shown in the video, but hair shedding due to telogen effluvium usually doesn't require medical treatment for shed hair to grow back. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi doctor, I’m only 19 years old I started suddenly shedding in June and now in august it’s still there and I started to see my part got wider. I never had any issues with hair loss before I’m sad now
Hi @niahb5987,
Sorry to hear about your problem. You do need to have a proper diagnosis for female pattern hair loss, which is progressive hair thinning, but it is possible to occur at the same time as increased hair shedding. If you can't see us for a diagnosis, I suggest you see a local doctor for an examination. You can refer to this video on how we diagnose, and treat female pattern hair loss - ua-cam.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/v-deo.html

Doc iam 18 and half years old and using finasterade. My father grown in height till the age of 24. So because of using fill will it stunt my height growth
Hi amind,
While 18-years-old is the minimum age for a finasteride prescription because of male reproductive development, it is still a prescription medication, so you should not be taking it without a prescription. Finasteride isn't linked to stunting height. You should be discussing these issues with the doctor who prescribed it to you. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Is there a point of hairloss where PRP or any treatment is just not valid anymore for women with diffused hairloss?
Hi Not Saying,
Pattern hair loss is a genetic condition that is not completely cured or stopped, but managed. Scalp injection treatments are limited to treating thinning hair, and hair follicles that are still viable for growth, but they cannot revive completely miniaturized hair follicles. You can refer to these videos on how we diagnose, and treat female pattern hair loss; and why pattern hair loss is actively managed to maximize hair thickness, and scalp coverage:

When i was a kid i was playing a lotttt with my hair after some years a part of my hair fall off is there any solution??
Hi yassmamop 1,
It's not clear if there is actual hair loss, as it is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, and they do grow back. A scalp examination is needed to determine if there is actual hair loss, and if there is, the cause of hair loss needs to be diagnosed before treatment can be recommended. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Doctor , I am a 16 year old male and I am facing hairloss and hairthinning a lot , my younger brother have healthy hairs and so do my father but still after applying oil I can see my scalp through my hair , I don't know if it is telogen or genetic but I had full thick and healthy hair before lockdown , pls help me doctor
Hi HeroheroSan,
Sorry to hear about your problem. I would need to examine your scalp to make a proper diagnosis, so if you can't come in for an examination, I suggest you see a local dermatologist for an examination to determine the cause of your hair loss. I hope this helps you.
Plz introduce this technique in India also . It would be a great help from your side
Hi Doc, M26, my hair is thinning at the temple angle, i was diagnosed with Moderate T.E. and(presence of Fungal spores)?Tinea.Capitis. Can TE mimic AGA in some cases?
Hi Jacob Smith,
Sorry to hear about your problem. AGA is hair thinning, so it looks different from patches of shed hair. Tinea capitis can appear like patches of shed hair as well. It is possible to have both telogen effluvium, and genetic pattern hair loss, so microscopic scalp examination is needed to determine if you have thinning hair as well. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Doc!
I would be SO GRATEFUL if you could share with me some advice
I recently underwent a hair transplant procedure after being diagnosed with genetic alopecia, primarily based on a visual assessment by a dermatologist. I had been taking Finasteride for two years before deciding to have a Trichoscope examination.
During the Trichoscope examination, the doctor's notes suggested a possible diagnosis of Telogen Effluvium (the Diagnosis seems now off, because I never noticed significant hairloss. My hairloss has always been more slow and steady). While this was a term I wasn't familiar with, I was relieved that the doctor didn't mention significant hair miniaturization, worsening hair loss, or the ineffectiveness of my medication. I must admit that at the time, I didn't give it much thought.
This was my first and only Trichoscope examination, which I had never undergone before starting Finasteride treatment. About three months later, I sought a hair transplant with a different doctor. During the examination, this new doctor mentioned some miniaturization in my donor area. I then showed him the document indicating the possibility of Telogen Effluvium.
The doctor explained that the miniaturization in the donor area could be due to Telogen Effluvium or the effects of DHT on some of my hair follicles. I ultimately underwent a successful hair transplant.
Upon returning home, I delved into extensive research about donor areas and miniaturization. My panic set in when I discovered information about DUPA (Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia) and the recommendation that individuals with DUPA should avoid hair transplants. This revelation has left me in a state of anxiety, as I now wonder whether I might have DUPA instead of Telogen Effluvium. Strangely, I had never perceived thinning in my back hair; my primary concern had always been my receding hairline. I can't recall experiencing any noticeable excess shedding; my hair loss has consistently followed a slow and gradual progression.
It's important to note that I've always had very fine, wispy, and wavy hair.
Is it common for individuals with genetic alopecia to exhibit some degree of miniaturization in the donor area? Will my Hair transplant be okay? Im 37 years old. Im like a Norwood 2/3.
Thank you in advance for any assistance or guidance you can provide.
Hi @chris5897,
DUPA is a rare condition, but we do treat it with our TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment, and without a hair transplant. It is similar to genetic pattern hair loss, but it also affects the permanent zones like the donor area, and the sides of the head.
The problem with DUPA, as well as with FUE hair transplants in pattern hair loss, is that hair grafts are still prone to hair thinning. You can refer to this videos about how our treatment to thicken thinning hair can be an alternative to hair transplant surgery:

Hi Mansi Goyal,
It is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, but the hair will grow back. Pattern hair loss happens when those hairs grow back thinner after every shed, there is a delay in regrowth, and the number of regrowth cycles become more limited. You can refer to these videos about why hair shedding is not pattern hair loss; and how we diagnose, and treat male pattern hair loss:
ua-cam.com/video/1B1hz-mTs38/v-deo.html

hey doc, male pattern balding and TE are not mutually excluisve right? if somebody has "slow" MPB and then TE hits, ofc the hairline and top of the head are getting (even) more visible, while also the rest of the scalp is affected by TE.
Hi Jonas Dauerbrenner,
Yes, it is possible to have both male pattern hair loss, and telogen effluvium concurrently. Male pattern hair loss is progressive hair thinning after shed hair grows back, a delay in regrowth after shedding, and a limited number of hair growth cycles. Telogen effluvium is severe stress-induced, higher than normal hair shedding, but it's a temporary condition, not progressive. Your hairline may look more sparse with both thinning hair, and shed hair. You can refer to these videos on how we diagnose and treat male pattern hair loss, and the individual factors of pattern hair loss in men:

Hey doc i am 19 and i was having thick hair and very dense hair and i took a crash diet after that my hair density decreased and thinning of individual hair also occured iam confused now that is my condition telogen effluvium or androgenetic alopecia and my whenever i pull individual hair at the end i can see a white bulb is it a indication of telogen effluvium? Plzz can u give me an answer bcz am soo depressed now a days
Hi Faheem Abdusalam,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Crash dieting can cause telogen effluvium as it does put stress on the body. However, it possible to have hair thinning due to pattern hair loss at the same time. I suggest you don't pull out your hair as it doing this repeatedly can permanently damage hair follicles, but the white bulb is dead skin or keratin, which is not an indicator for any hair loss condition. I suggest you have a proper scalp examination to diagnose the condition(s) you may have. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Other than minoxidil,Can any other topical solution work for diffuse androgenetic alopecia? In men?
Hi Itz Me,
There are other topical hair treatments available, but none I recommend as being particularly effective. My androgenetic alopecia patients featured in my videos don't need to use minoxidil after our injection treatment. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir, i took isotretnoin and after 2-3 months i got severe hair shedding. More than 300 hair in one wash. My volume of hair has reduced significantly also texture got really dry. How long will it take to recover. Kindly help
Hi Anshu Bhai,
Temporary hair shedding does sometimes occur with isotretinoin. I suggest you consult your prescribing dermatologist about it as they can examine your scalp for a diagnosis. I hope this helps you.
hello doctor. im 24 years old and I've never had a hair fall before. in this febuary i've started using creatin. and since April or May i have hair loss. of course i've stopped using creatin since June. last week i when i went to the doctor she said u have TE. btw between october -december I had 3 sessions of mesotherapy and 3 sessions of PRP. so my question is what im a supposed to do from now on? and the last thing is i might have seborrheic dermatitis. i have too much bran. please help me doctor. i have to fix the TE
Hi arc jimmy,
Telogen effluvium does not require medical treatment for shed hair to grow back, as explained in the video. I only advise medical treatment if you also have concurrent genetic pattern hair loss, which is progressive hair thinning. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Doctor please clear my this point. Can hair thinning occur due to nutrient deficiency too? I am 154cm and weigh 40kg with 20ng per litre ferritin. I get tired easily and have digestive issues. Mainly gerd. Many of my hair are becoming like vellus hair. My hair density is decreasing every year. I am 25 year old. Can hair thin only due to androgenetic alopecia or nutrients play a role too?
Hi @faizahkhalil8011,
Nutritional deficiencies generally do not cause hair thinning, but it is possible in some cases for an iron deficiency or anemia to cause hair thinning. You do need a proper diagnosis to determine the cause of your hair loss as I indicated in my reply to your previous comment.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thank you. I wish it was possible for me to come to america for treatment but it's not. My job is not that well paying.
You're welcome, @@faizahkhalil8011. I suggest you have the cause of your hair thinning diagnosed locally, because if it is caused by PCOS, or by anemia, it can be treated more cost-efficiently locally.
Hi doctor , I am 18 yrs old male. I faced telogen effluvium 2 months ago, due to a stressfull event . It only lasted for a week.Then shedding stopped.

Hi @sebastianbiju7229,
Telogen effluvium does not speed up androgenetic alopecia. Androgenetic alopecia is a genetic condition, so there isn't anything that can trigger it. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Does this help with traction alopecia too?
Hi @pragooutube,
Constant tension on hair follicles in traction alopecia can permanently damage the follicles, which can't be revived, so often the only treatment for traction alopecia is hair transplant surgery. That being said, we have treated patients with concurrent pattern hair loss, and traction alopecia without surgery. You can see some of these patients in this video - ua-cam.com/video/7_g7TC59YUI/v-deo.html

Hi Avani,
I hope you understand that I can't make a diagnosis without examining your scalp. However, poor nutrition is not likely a cause for hair loss. Your scalp needs to be examined for hair thinning, which is 95% of cases androgenetic alopecia/ pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hey sir, I am experiencing thinning around my temples but no where else on my head and it’s been like that for 3 months now should I be expecting it to grow back or am I balding?

Hi @howtfdoihave115subs7,
Hair thinning due to female genetic pattern hair loss will not show in a blood test, and requires an examination by someone experienced with treating hair loss to diagnose. Female pattern hair loss sometimes requires scalp biopsies to diagnose as there are more possible causes of hair thinning in women than there are for men. You can refer to this video on how we diagnose, and treat female pattern hair loss - ua-cam.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/v-deo.html
Doctor please answer me this.
I'm Male 15 and the density on the temples and sides of my hair is decreasing for idk how long. But I noticed this back in May.

What can this be aga or te?
Hi @AceeBrawlStars,
15 is generally too young for androgenetic alopecia in men. It is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, but the hair will grow back. Pattern hair loss happens when those hairs grow back thinner after every shed, there is a delay in regrowth, and the number of regrowth cycles become more limited.

I loss weight 7 kg in two months …
Then hair fall start 3 months after ….
And from february 2023 hairfall , start now october 2023 and its still losing but less around 40 strands to 60
But catch us that u never loss a single hair before weight loss
When i wash my hair two days my hair dont fall but when hair become oily then when i move hair with hand hair comes out pull test is poisitive
How long does it take to stop and new hair when will grow sir in telogen effluvium when new hair come
How many months or years or after hairfall stop then it will come or what
Is it telogen effluvium or mpb .
Previous years since my birth i have no hair fall it start just after weight losss
Hi @suryanshavtar5276,
It is possible that the stress on the body from rapid weight loss can cause telogen effluvium. It takes the body several months to recover from telogen effluvium on its own, so shed hair grows back without medical treatment, but you should also ensure you are living a healthy lifestyle to reduce stress on the body.
It is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, but the hair will grow back. Pattern hair loss happens when those hairs grow back thinner after every shed, there is a delay in regrowth, and the number of regrowth cycles become more limited. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD but new hair come also thin..and telogen also have thinning .. so how to differentiate
Hi@@Dr.SURYANSH,
Telogen effluvium, and hair thinning due to pattern hair loss can occur at the same time. You need to be properly diagnosed by an experienced doctor by having your scalp examined. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi mehak,
Sorry to hear about what happened to you. It is more likely that you have telogen effluvium due to the mental, and physical stress of your condition, and your hospitalization. Shed hair should grow back as the stress on your body passes. If you are worried about possible androgenetic alopecia, a microscopic scalp exam can identify progressively thinning hair. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD sir how much time hair takes to grow after te
Hi@@Mehakgupta32-z6e,

Hi Shreya Singh,
Sorry to hear about your problem. While androgenetic alopecia cannot be cured as it's a genetic condition hardwired into the DNA, it can be managed so that thinning hair can grow back thicker. You can see in the video how we use a PRP combination treatment that only needs 1-2 treatment sessions to thicken thinning hair, and stimulate hair growth from dormant hair follicles, with results lasting 3-5 years. Minoxidil, spironolactone, PRP, or multivitamins are not needed after our treatment.

Hi Suryansh Avtar,
The stress on your body from dieting can cause telogen effluvium (higher than normal hair shedding). However, it is possible to have telogen effluvium, and genetic pattern hair loss concurrently which can manifest as hair thinning a the crown and hairline. Shed hair grows back, even with the white bulb attached, but pattern hair loss is when it grows back thinner, and there is a delay in regrowth. A physical examination is needed to properly diagnose your hair loss conditions. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD but doctor i had dht test which is normal …And also can you please tell that sir ..Growth of new hair will start when hair fall is happening or after hair fall stop sir..is thinning hair always means androgenic alopecia ..i have thinning density decrease after weight loss but no hair line recceding sir
@@AmiyaPrasadMD please reply sir
Hi@@Dr.SURYANSH,
Genetic male pattern hair loss is not caused by excessive DHT, it's caused by a genetic scalp sensitivity to DHT at normal levels. Hair thinning is usually genetic pattern hair loss, and is not caused by weight loss, or malnutrition. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hey doc, does telogen effluvium cause hair to miniaturise and thin at the temples?
Hi @rafikip9971,
No, telogen effluvium by itself is temporary hair shedding only due to stress. If you have hair thinning at the temples, it's most likely due to genetic pattern hair loss, which can occur at the same time as telogen effluvium. A proper diagnosis is needed to confirm what you have. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thanks doc, gonna get a blood test and scalp analysis this week

Sir as an Indian,how can we get your treatment sir?
Hi Arpita Bose,
Each treatment is custom formulated based on an individual’s hair loss profile, including age, gender, age of onset of hair loss, degree of hair loss, and other medications taken; and the treatment uses your own blood to prepare the PRP, so it has to be done in one of our offices in the US. We do have many Indian patients coming to the US for treatment. Since it is a non-surgical treatment with little to no recovery time, and in many cases no additional treatment, you don't need an extended stay in the US. Many patients actually get back on the plane home the same day as treatment, but I don't recommend this for everyone as it is dependent on general health condition and age. Some patients with advanced hair loss may get a second treatment 15-24 months after the first, and results for international patients are monitored through Skype, FaceTime, or email follow up.
I am a female with severe bitemporal hair loss that has been progressive since I was a teen. I was told I have PCOS but also my grandmother and some aunts have the same hair line thinning issue. I think it’s both PCOS and genetics for my hair line. Can hair transplant cure?
Hi Kaylnnnn,
You should have your PCOS treated to see if your hair improves. While genetic pattern hair loss is not completely cured, it can be managed by thickening thinning hair, and stimulating hair growth from viable hair follicles that have stopped growing. You can refer to these videos on how we can thicken temporal hair without a hair transplant, and how we diagnose and treat female pattern hair loss:

Sorry to hear about your problem. Traumatic events, and the stress on your body from a poor diet can cause telogen effluvium. Telogen effluvium usually doesn't require medical treatment, but a definitive diagnosis of the condition is needed. I would need to do a scalp examination to diagnose you properly. In the meantime, you can reduce stress, and resume a healthier diet to see if it improves the condition of your hair. I hope this helps you.

Hi @stewie884,
Scalp DHT-sensitivity and male pattern hair loss is a genetic condition that doesn't show up in blood tests, as all men have significant level of DHT in their bloodstream.
