Hair Fall in Women: Causes & Real Solutions

Introduction

Hair loss and hair thinning can deeply affect confidence and quality of life. At NuHealth Mumbai, every case is treated with compassion and a science-backed, holistic approach, because hair fall reflects deeper health imbalances, not vanity. This guide explores the true causes of female hair loss, why generic treatments may not work, and evidence-based solutions for restoring both hair and self-assurance.

Common Causes of Hair Fall in Women

Hormonal Imbalances: Fluctuations in estrogen, progesterone, and androgens can impact hair growth. Conditions such as PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, perimenopause, postpartum changes, or contraceptive use may contribute to excess shedding.
Nutrient Deficiencies: Iron, B12, vitamin D, zinc, or protein deficiencies, sometimes even mild, can impair hair growth or lead to hair loss.
Gut Health Issues: Poor nutrient absorption from digestive issues can deprive hair follicles of essential support.
Stress & Cortisol: Chronic or acute stress may trigger excessive shedding (telogen effluvium) by disrupting the normal growth cycle.
Postpartum & Post-Illness Hair Loss: Hormonal transitions or recovery after infections often result in temporary hair fall.
Harsh Hair Practices: Excessive heat, chemical treatments, harsh products, and tight hairstyles can cause trauma-related thinning.

The NuHealth Four-Level Approach

Step 1: Functional Lab Testing
We conduct thorough blood tests to check for CBC, ferritin, B12, D3, thyroid function (TSH, T3, T4), PCOS-related hormones, and nutrient absorption markers as needed.
Step 2: Targeted Nutraceutical Support
Based on test results, we suggest doctor-supervised, medical-grade supplements (such as iron bisglycinate, methylated B12, folate, omega-3s) tailored to each individual. Biotin is only used if clinically indicated.
Step 3: IV Drip Therapy
Our Nu Hair Restore Drip delivers amino acids, B-complex vitamins, biotin, zinc, selenium, and glutathione directly into the bloodstream for optimal absorption to support hair follicles.
Step 4: Topical & In-Clinic Interventions
We offer scalp microneedling, PRP with growth factors, scalp detox, mesotherapy, and custom topical care, all under the guidance of experienced practitioners.
