my hair started to fall out massively about a year ago, due to high fever, multiple tooth extractions and severe weight loss…later i developed an iron deficinecy anemia..and i was on the iron pills…went in for a blood test recently and found out my iron levels are now normal but my hemoglobin is still very low..the doc said it might be due to a minor case of thalessemia..i never knew i had thalessemia minor all this time..my hair up to a year ago was very very thick and now it has almost halved…i also have a dandruff problem that i’m working at (i dont know if that is causinf the hair loss) but i have always had a dandruff problem and my hair never fell before..i want to know if it is normal for people with low hemglobin..or thalessemia minor to expereince hair loss…why is hair still falling when iron deficiny is no longer there?…will this reverse it self..if i have always been a thalessemia minor all my life why didnt it fall out before…please share thoughts/experiences.

I want to start a family of my own but I am worried that I simply can’t. Up until a year a continuously drank diet soda about 64 oz a day. I am scared because I wonder if this bad habbit is effecting my fertility. I took a blood test to examine my level of progesterone and it came back 6, they say for is the cut off point. Was to embarrassed to really tell them everything but I wonder if these are tell tale signs.

i’m 13 and recently lost 53 pounds, in less then i year ( had to lose for medical reasons, was borderline obese), anyway i know that i lost weight to fast, but my weight was never dangerously low and i eat lots of protein, take vitamins and don’t use Straighteners or lots of products, but my hair still continues to fall out. I also take hair vitamins, i am certain my hair loss is from rapid weight loss because i have had blood test done. what can i do to get my hair thick again and can i go completely bald at 13? Someone please help!
I don’t have alopecia areata, and i went to the doctor thats when i got the blood test and she said it was just from weight loss, but she did’nt suggest any treatments
I lost the weight naturaly, with a balanced diet and exercise i never restricted calories to an extreme or took diet pills

A recent blood test revealed that I have low "good cholesterol". What diet change can I make to increase it back to acceptable levels? What types of foods affect this specific figure, either positive or negative?

Thanks in advance for all your help!

I have been on the HCG diet for 2 weeks and missed my period. I took 6 pregnancy tests and on blood test and they all came out positive. I stopped taking the injections for a week and still had a faint positive. How long does it take for the HCG to completely leave my system so I can get an accurate pregnancy test?
