I am losing my hair excessively, what can I do/take to counteract this?

Question

I have made an appointment with my doctor regarding this very thing, but I don't know when I will be able to see her. I haven't really noticed any other symptoms, except for stress and maybe mood swings, but I wouldn't know if these are abnormal or if they are present at the same intensity as before.

Hello and thank you for your question! Actually, for hair loss, there is no very very effective solution.....Vitamins, shampoo etc, help with hair health, but not with growing hair or preventing hair loss.... Is this a new situation for you? And have you seen your doctor lately? I ask because sometimes hair loss is accompanied by other symptoms and your doctor may ask you to take a blood test to check how your thyroid gland is working. Do you have any other symptoms? Thank you, Emmanuelle Okay, great. Glad you made the appointment. And yes, stress can also have an impact on hair loss .... Good luck in your endeavors, don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any other questions :) Have a nice day, Emmanuelle
