A 20-year-old male has been experiencing hair loss for three years due to a vitaminDdeficiency and has seen no improvement after 3.5 months of taking supplements. Another person suggested that if the hair loss follows a pattern, it might be regular baldness rather than due to the deficiency.
VitaminDdeficiency might cause hair loss at the temples. The user has a vitaminD level of 9ng and is experiencing hair loss in that area, resembling a Norwood scale 1 (NW1) pattern.
A user experiencing significant hair loss found they had a severe vitaminDdeficiency and was prescribed 50,000IU vitaminD pills, likely to be taken weekly. They are questioning if the deficiency could be the cause of their hair loss and if correcting it could stop the shedding and improve hair recovery.
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, specifically minoxidil, vitaminD supplements, and the potential impact of iron overload. The user experienced hair regrowth with high-dose vitaminD but faced hair thinning again after reducing the dosage, and is now exploring the role of iron overload in hair loss.
Hair loss treatments include finasteride and spironolactone. Low vitaminD levels may contribute to hair loss, and normalizing levels could potentially help regrowth.
