Question 2

I was diagnosed with Jaundice back in July and it took about a month for me to recover. My doctor mentioned I could eat oily foods once I was better. But even months before the Jaundice, I started losing a lot of hair, and now it's really concerning....

Accepted Answer

Jaundice itself doesn't directly cause balding, but the underlying conditions that led to jaundice, such as liver disease or hemolytic anemia, can contribute to hair loss.

Given your history of jaundice and current hair loss, it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or hepatologist, to rule out any underlying liver or blood-related conditions.

Regarding hair loss treatment, your doctor may recommend:

1. Iron supplements: Given your low hemoglobin (10.8), iron supplements might help.
2. Vitamin B12 injections: Jaundice can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency, which may contribute to hair loss.
