Regular but light periods (2 days) are often normal and usually not a cause for concern if cycles are regular. Hair fall is more commonly related to iron deficiency, vitamin B12/D deficiency, thyroid imbalance, stress, or hormonal factors, rather than dry eyes.
Next Steps
Get basic blood tests done: CBC, serum ferritin (iron stores), vitamin B12, vitamin D, and TSH. Based on results, appropriate supplements or treatment can be started.
Health Tips
Avoid self-supplementation without reports. Maintain a protein-rich diet, manage stress, and ensure adequate sleep. If hair fall is severe, prolonged, or associated with other symptoms, consult a doctor

If periods are regular but light (around 2 days) along with hair fall, the most common causes are low iron levels, low protein intake, stress, or hormonal imbalance, even when cycles are regular.
Possible reasons:
• Low iron → hair fall and lighter menstrual flow
• Low protein or poor nutrition → hair thinning
• Stress or thyroid imbalance → affects hair growth and periods
What you can do naturally:
• Include iron-rich vegetables like spinach, beetroot, dates, jaggery, soaked raisins
• Ensure enough protein from dal, chana, paneer, curd, nuts
• Add seeds and nuts (flax, pumpkin seeds, almonds, walnuts)
• Maintain proper hydration and sleep
If hair fall continues or periods become very scanty, blood tests may be needed to find the exact cause.
For further evaluation and personalized advice, please contact me directly on Practo.
