A member asked:
Could my diffuse excess hair shedding/loss be caused by my ferritin being 53 level? does it need to be above 70?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Your ferritin level is normal. Ferritin level is unrelated to hair loss. You may consult this site for info on ferritin: https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/003490.htm Nutrition: For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex. Get HPV vaccine,
