Hello,
It would be more useful if you can inform us about the results of your blood tests that include
CBC and Endocrine tests like
thyroid function tests, sex hormone level including testosterone. The reason and the results of
colonoscopy would be also helpful.
Loss of hair, alopecia may occur due to temporary causes like stress, nutritional problems, and as a medication side effect or permanent due to hair dyes, or dandruff.
Alopecia may occur due to different types of hormone imbalance, they may be associated also with blood pressure changes.
-Androgenic alopecia associated with increased level and/or sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a derivative of the male hormone, testosterone.
-Thyroid function abnormalities may also cause loss of hair as well as blood pressure.
Anemia and low blood counts causes loss of hair too. Simple blood tests can confirm the diagnosis. Since you have
anemia, this could be the cause, but identifying the underlying cause of
anemia as well as exclusion of other causes is essential.
Follow up with your doctor is essential.
Please keep us updated.
Best regards.
