Very Severe hairfall
I was diagnosed with PCOD couple of years ago. I was suggested by my gynecologist and endocrinologist to take contraceptive pills till i want to try for pregnancy.
I continued on the pills till June last year, and stopped as we are trying now. Within 2-3 months after i stopped taking pills i'm facing severe Hair fall. My hairs are very thin and are uprooting from the roots directly. It feels like more then 50% of my hairs are gone. I'm very worried and tried shampoos without chemical and do oil message and all. But nothing is helping. Please help me!
I forgot to mention i have an oily scalp and have dandruff.
