I've been facing hair thinning & hair loss since I moved to ranchi in 2023. I've tried ayurvedic remedies but nothing worked well & my hairline is receding continuosly. I know about medicines like minoxidil & finasteride but it has some side effects that's why I'm afraid to go for allopathy. What should I do?
Dear Sonu Ji,
Thank you for sharing your concern — hair thinning and receding hairline can be distressing, especially when remedies don't bring expected results. A change in environment (like moving to a new city) can sometimes trigger hair fall due to water quality, climate, or stress, but consistent and progressive hair loss often has deeper causes, like androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness), nutritional deficiencies, or scalp conditions.
🩺 Since you've already tried Ayurvedic remedies without relief and are concerned about the side effects of allopathic medicines like minoxidil or finasteride, here's what we suggest:
-
Consultation with a dermatologist/trichologist – A clinical examination and scalp analysis will help identify the exact cause of your hair loss.
-
Blood tests may be recommended to rule out deficiencies (like Vitamin D, B12, iron) or hormonal imbalances.
-
Based on the findings, the doctor can advise a personalised, low-risk treatment plan, which could include:
-
Mild topical solutions or natural-based alternatives with fewer side effects
-
Nutritional supplements
-
Non-invasive therapies like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), low-level laser therapy, or mesotherapy
-
Lifestyle and diet modification
-
🔍 Important: Minoxidil and finasteride may have side effects in some individuals, but a doctor can help you understand safer usage, alternatives, or tailor lower-strength options if suitable.
Hair loss is manageable, but the key is early diagnosis, expert care and a healthy diet and lifestyle.
