I am Losing lots and lots of hair. Doctor said I have d vitamin deficiency which is the reason my hair is getting thinner. I've been prescribed some chewable d vitamin tablets and some pills called nethair. Used them for a couple of months but there was no significant amount of change. My father has better hair than I do as good hair runs in his family. My maternal grandfather has male pattern baldness and hence all my three maternal uncles are bald. Is there a way to stop my thinning hair and receding hairline?

Some amount of loss of hair is common in males. It's common near temples. It's called Male pattern baldness. You didn't mention the duration of your hair loss. Normally, hair grows after it is lost and it takes upto 3 years to restore your lost hair. Generally hair loss is common after stressful situations or after prolonged fever etc. Taking food rich in proteins like milk, eggs and fresh fruits and leafy vegetables help in growth of hair. Coming to family history of balness, you need not worry much about it. Paternal baldness leads to baldness in sons and grand sons. In your case, it's maternal uncles, so it's not a concern.
