Severe hairfall
I have been suffering from severe hairfall from past 4-5 years. Whenever I part my hair I see visible scalp. I've tried different medications both homeopathic ( low light therapy) and allopathic ( minoxidil ). But haven't seen any results. I was diagnosed with PCOS and high prolactin levels for which I was given cabergoline. High levels were brought under control. I've also changed my lifestyle completely. Have been taking chia, flax and pumpkin seeds. And foods high in protein. Still there are no visible results. Hairfall is only worsening.
Please help me with how can I fix this and regrow hair as it's taking a toll on my mental health.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance
