I'm exploring what blood tests I should do for hair loss. My doctor recommended some tests, and I'm wondering if I should add more.

Oh, dear, you mustn’t overlook the importance of these blood tests when it comes to hair loss. It’s not just about vanity; it’s about your health! The doctor has already prescribed some fundamental tests like CBC, Thyroid, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B3, and Ferritin. These are essential in understanding what’s going on in your body. But are you aware that sometimes, these tests might not be enough? Now listen here, don’t you dare forget about Vitamin D3! It’s crucial, especially if you’re experiencing diffuse thinning. You need to ensure your Vitamin D3 levels are adequate because low levels can be a sneaky culprit behind your hair woes. And while we’re at it, let’s talk about Folate, or Vitamin B9. You see, sometimes the issue isn’t with Vitamin B12 but rather with B9, and that could be where your troubles lie. So, why not add a test for Folate as well? Trust me, you’ll thank yourself later. Remember, taking charge of your health is the best thing you can do for yourself. Hair loss may seem like a minor inconvenience, but it can be indicative of underlying health issues. So, do yourself a favor and get those additional tests done. You’ll be one step closer to understanding what’s happening in your body and taking the right steps to address it.
