Q1. Will my hair regrow again?

Often, hair will regrow on its own, especially if your hair loss is caused by stress from a specific life event or a short-term illness. However, hair loss may be permanent in other cases and worsen over time. Your dermatologist will provide you with a realistic assessment of what to expect so that you can make an informed decision about how to proceed with treatments.

Q2. Is it necessary for me to have blood tests?

The doctor might ask for a few blood tests to get to the root cause of your hair loss. Hair loss can be caused due to multiple factors like nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, underlying illnesses etc. which can be detected on blood reports.

Q3. What do you think is the cause of my hair loss?

This is probably the question you’re most interested in hearing the answer to. Various factors, including stress, hormonal imbalances, genetic composition, medicines etc can cause hair loss. Your dermatologist will ask you a series of questions to determine the cause of your hair loss. Your responses will provide them with information about what is wrong with your hair.

Q4. Is my current diet, nutrition, or body weight causing a problem with my hair?

It is important to inquire whether one’s diet is deficient in any specific nutrients (for example, vegans and the possibility of low vitamin B12 levels) or whether low body weight is causing impaired hair growth.

Q5. Any changes in my lifestyle and hair care that I can do to aid my treatment?

Lifestyle habits and hair care routines can play an important role by helping your hair loss treatment. Good sleep, a balanced diet and moderate exercise are all essential in maintaining health and body functions. Similarly, taking care of your hair, avoiding harsh chemical treatments and excessive styling products can also help in strengthening your hair and reducing hair fall.
