Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 20-year-old female with severe hair loss. May I know the major causes of hair loss at this age? I have tried various home remedies to control it, but there is no relief. My mother also told me that she had severe hair fall at this age. Can this hair fall be hereditary? I would like to know some treatment options and medications to control my hair fall and regain my thick and long hair. Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
Yes, hair loss at this age can be genetic as well as acquired. In your case, your mother suffered from her loss at the same age. It is very likely that the hair loss is genetic and is called female pattern hair loss. On the other hand, hair loss at this age can be due to changes in your body and hormonal level. Apart from that, your nutritional status, stress, and hair care routine may also be the cause of your hair loss. Sometimes, there is no visible cause of hair loss, and we just have to take care of the hair care routine.
I hope this information will help you.
Kindly revert in case of queries.
Thank you.
