Hair Thinning Problem
Hello Sir/Mam , I am 22 years old. My hair was fine when I was 18 then I moved to college and I observed severe hair fall. I tried changing water and started washing my hair with mineral water. It seemed to work and my hair fall decreased, but now I observe hair thinning from my crown. My father , uncle and cousin had the same problem and they are bald. So this is bugging me if I am also going bald. I do observe a few hair strands in shower but it is not very severe

Hello dear. Yes, you have androgenic alopecia or male pattern baldness. It can still be treated and your hair restored. But once it becomes severe, you will need a hair transplant.
