Online consultation for hair loss in women

Good for an online consult

  • A wider parting or a see-through crown
  • Hair coming out in handfuls after childbirth, illness or a diet
  • Hair loss with irregular periods, acne or facial hair
  • Months of hair supplements and oils with no change
  • You want to know which blood tests matter

Get medical help in person if

  • Round bald patches, or patches with redness, pain, pus or scarring
  • Hair loss with a deeper voice, fast-growing facial hair or missed periods: hormone check in person
  • Hair loss with fever, weight loss or a new rash

What an online consult cannot do. The doctor judges from your photos, so blurry or filtered photos limit what they can say. Some rashes need a dermatologist to examine them in person or take a small skin sample; the doctor tells you when.

Booked a consultation for my mother. Doctor actually spent time asking about her previous medicines. That was the main thing I liked.

The doctor consultation felt normal, not rushed like some online consultations. Asked about symptoms properly and explained when I should visit in person.

Questions

Is hair fall after delivery normal?
Yes. Many women shed a lot of hair two to four months after childbirth as hormones change, and it usually settles within 6 to 12 months without treatment. If it goes on longer, or the parting stays wide, see a doctor.
Which blood tests should I do for hair loss?
Usually only a few: thyroid, ferritin (iron stores) and a blood count, and sometimes vitamin D or hormone tests if your periods are irregular. The doctor picks the ones that change your plan, so you do not pay for a long panel.
Will my hair grow back?
Shedding after a trigger usually grows back. Pattern hair loss can be slowed, and many women regain some thickness with treatment, but a change takes 3 to 6 months to show and treatment usually continues.
Do hair oils and supplements help?
Oils help with dryness and breakage but do not stop hair loss. Supplements help only if you are low in that nutrient. The doctor tells you what is worth keeping.
Who will I be speaking to?
Our doctor who leads skin care (MBBS, with fellowships in aesthetic medicine and cosmetic dermatology) answers every skin and hair consult, day or night. There is no MD dermatologist on the panel yet: she tells you when you need to see one in person. Her registration is checked, and every consult follows the NMC Telemedicine Practice Guidelines, 2020.
How much does the online consultation cost?
A chat consultation for this is ₹399, and a call or video is ₹399. The exact fee is shown before you pay, and it includes 48 hours of follow-up questions in the same chat.
How quickly will a doctor reply?
The chat opens as soon as you pay. A doctor usually replies within 30 minutes while doctors are on duty; outside those hours the booking page tells you when the first reply is likely, before you pay. The doctor can switch to a call or video if they need to see you.

About hair loss in women

In women, hair loss usually has one of a few causes. Heavy shedding two to four months after childbirth, illness, high fever, surgery or a crash diet (telogen effluvium) usually settles once the trigger passes. Female pattern hair loss thins the hair over the top of the head while the front hairline stays. Low iron, thyroid problems and PCOS can cause or worsen either, so the plan depends on which it is. Send photos of your parting and tell us about your periods, diet and any recent illness. A doctor finds the type of hair loss and writes a plan for it.
