Trichologist at Absolique Hair Health Clinic sharing another low ferritin hair loss story in a young female age 23. Ferritin hair loss female is too common and should be picked up by the doctor.
This ferritin hair loss female had 2 years of hair loss, hair thinning, hair breakage, oily scalp and dry scalp.
Low ferritin – ferritin deficiency
Blood test in the last 5 months showed ferritin deficiency of 15 and 20. Anything below 30 is considered out of range and deficiency status and a state of hair loss.
Pathology clearly marked the ferritin as low which should alert the doctor of the deficiency status. For hair growth ferritin needs to be closer to 70.
The hair cycle
When in a deficiency state, the body is in an emergency. Ferritin is the storage of iron and is needed for oxygen and energy. When there is no ferritin in the tank, the body will release the non-essential hair. This is called telogen effluvium or diffuse hair loss.
Folling the hair cycle disturbance diffuse hair loss, if the ferritin remains lower than 70, you then end up with diffuse hair thinning. Here we had lost 60% of the hair structure from low ferritin and ferritin deficiency. Ferritin hair loss female is commonly followed by diffuse hair thinning.
Low Vitamin D – ferritin hair loss female
Low vitamin D is commonly connected to low ferritin. Here we had borderline vitamin D deficiency also state of hair loss and the cause of scalp oil and dry scalp.
Hair, skin, nails – don’t ignore the signs
When things change with hair, skin and nails, it is a sign something is wrong within. Don’t ignore the signs.
Here we did 4 months of combination therapy topical hair loss treatment, nutritional therapy with food for ferritin and nutritional supplements.
With ferritin deficiency you need both food and supplements, one or the other on its own won’t work.
Iron infusions here don’t work either, they push it up too high then drops down without supporting nutrition.
