Hormonal changes following childbirth can cause hair loss, though I wouldn’t expect it to last years. I’m very sorry to hear about your daughter. Stress is known to cause hair loss, and the amount of stress you must be going through from losing a child could undoubtedly lead to more thinning. Additionally, it’s possible that […]

In my practice, we never recommend a hair transplant surgery for “preventive maintenance”, mainly because most patients would not likely see much of a result as they continue to bald and run the risk of being worse off. There is also a good possibility that the surgically induced hair loss might make it look worse, […]
Diabetic ketoacidosis is a potentially life threatening condition. It is a major stress to your body, which could be one of the many possible reasons you are experiencing hair loss (much like what your doctor already told you). The most important point is to get your health back in shape and control the diabetes. If […]
While obesity itself doesn’t cause female hair loss, stress and poor diet can certainly contribute. I’ve written the same thing before here. Hypothyroid, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and many other medical issues can potentially cause hair loss. The goal is to treat the medical issues and the hair loss should slow down. You need to […]
What more can I say about complete hair loss reversal from Propecia other than it is highly unusual. There is little doubt in my mind that the balding gene has on and off switches that may be impacted by environmental factors such as diet, but I do not know what many of them are. I […]
Some women complain of hair loss after child birth. It may be due to hormonal changes your body goes through, but it is not well understood. There is no cure for this phenomenon, but the hair grows back usually after about one year.
Hair loss can arise from extreme stress and medical illness. It generally reverses and hairs do grow back provided that the patient did not accelerate the male pattern balding that he may have had from his genetics. It does take up to a full year at the least for the hair to return.
About 7 years ago, I saw a 21 year old man from the UK who had a hair transplant when he was 17 years old to his frontal hairline corners (when he only had hair loss in those areas), and eventually became completely bald to a Norwood class 6 pattern. He was left with 2 […]
You should always start off with a Master Plan, created by you and your doctor based upon his findings during your examination. If you have wavy hair in the donor area it will grow out as wavy hair in the transplanted area. There are no requirements to measure miniaturization. It is something I stress in […]
Generally, when doctors assess patients with a Norwood scale, it is meant to categorize your eventual balding pattern. You may not look like a Norwood class 6 right now, but it seems two doctors that have examined you think you are going to eventually be a Norwood 6. This likely means you are not a […]
I generally suggest that my patients reduce the finasteride dose from 1mg to 0.5mg or 0.25mg and see if these lower doses work. Some earlier estimates I have reviewed suggest that the 0.25mg dose still works at about 50% efficiency on stopping hair loss. Now that I told you this, you need a good doctor […]
Stress can cause hair loss in someone your age. I would have to examine you and possibly do some special blood tests to determine if these is a cause for the hair loss that can be treated. Female hair loss could be caused by a variety of issues, but the death of a spouse is […]
The best help I can offer is to tell you to consider seeing a doctor for your issues, including your depression and stress. With respect to your hair loss issues, I cannot diagnose you or even offer a treatment (since I have not examined you or know exactly what is going on). Iron deficiency is […]
Acne doesn’t cause hair loss, and hair loss doesn’t cause acne. Your loss may be stress-induced like your doctor said, but at 19 years old it’s entirely possible that you’re showing early patterned hair loss. A Norwood Class 2 could just be a mature hairline, though. That isn’t anything to be concerned with. I haven’t […]
The stress on the body from chicken pox could be causing your daughter’s hair loss, but you should take her to a pediatrician if you are concerned.
