women's hair loss -- pls recommend doc in Bangkok

[david_je]

A friend in early 50s seems to have inordinate amounts of hair falling off each day. Can someone recommend a specialist whom they have seen for this? Was blood test ordered and for what? Thanks.

How much hair is she losing per day? This sounds age related and there is nothing you can do to stop this short of hair transplant. There is a topical medication for women similar to  rogaine which seems to help "some" women.

 

My wife is 44 and I forced her to take biotin every day. That seems to have stopped the loss a bit.

 

Also she should avoid hair salons. Here in Thailand they put cheap chemicals which considerably damages the hair. Young women can recover this, but once you hit certain age, forget about it. I learned this the hard yaw when I asked wife to perm her hair and she ended up looking like Snape from Harry Potter. It literally took a year to recover from this,.

There are many possible causes ranging from hormonal to autoimmune. Adverse effects of hair products can also play a role.
