Hi all,

I am new to this community and I have never thought of having this issue. I had a major surgery on my stomach 5 months ago, and stayed in hospital without eating anything for 2 months. Influids was my only life support and my weight was down 12kg.

When I was discharged from hospital 3 months ago, I had no problem with my hair.
It was as strong and intense as usual.

However, about 1.5 months ago I started losing my hair; and about a month ago I had my latest haircut. It turned out that my new hair became thin, oily, not strong at all. In the meantime, because of the nature of my job, i am suffering from anxiety and is taking Paxil under the professionals instruction. Being panic about losing my hair, I started taking propecia 3 weeks ago but there's no sign of getting better. I'm still losing a loads of hair.

I wonder, if my hair is more like male pattern baldness or telogen effluvium. My shrink says it's probably the telegen effluvium, while the
Dermatologist says it's male pattern baldness and there is NO cure for this. P.S, none of my relatives have similar trouble- my maternal grandpa ages 80 and still have full intense hair.

Thanks!

Plus, I am only 24 and my body hairs(including beard) are also becoming thinner, softer and less.

I had a surgery on my stomach 5 months ago and stayed in the hospital for 2 months....without eating anything. Then my psychologist said that I have the symptoms of anxiety about 2 months ago.

The main concern for me is that almost every post I found says Telogen Effluvium wouldn't make my hair softer and thinner. Only male pattern baldness does...

Thanks for the reply.

I just did not think that male pattern baldness could develop this fast... about 3 months ago I still have straight, thick full head of hair and now I am like this...

Yeah, it sucks... Go visit a dermatologist in case you arent 100% sure and see what he/she tells you to do bud.
Good luck
