DO YOU HAVE HAIRFALL AFTER DELIVERY????

It is normal to experience heavy hair fall after an acute stressful event.Usually hairfall begins within 3 months of the event. This stressful event can be anything like:-

*Surgery
*Pregnanacy and Delivery
*A physical illness
*A mental illness
*Death of dear ones
*Severe fever
*Abortion etc

This condition is called in medical terms as,
TELOGEN EFFLUVIUM

How will we manage Telogen effluvium??

*It is a normal process . So be patient.It will be normalised in a matter of 2-3 months. Dont be so anxious about it becauuse anxiety and stress will further aggravate the hairfall 

*Address other causes of hairfall which also is contributing to the telogen effluvium.It include:-
a)Dandruff
b)Stress
c)Vitamin D deficiency
d)Anemia
e)Vitamin B12 deficiency
f)Thyroid disease

*Use hair growth serums containing Procapyl,Redensyl,Angain,Bicapil etc which control the excess hairfall

*How to apply hair serums? Once or twice daily massage over the scalp.Keep it for a few hours.Dont wash off immediately. Continue for atleast 2-3 months

*Use hair vitamin supplements or gummies for a period of 2 to 3 months 

*Will minoxidil work in telogen effluvium cases?Minoxidil being a blood vessel dilator increases blood flow to scalp;thereby increases hair growth.But its not much prescribed in telogen effluvium because telogen effluvium is a transient condition.On the other hand,if you start minoxidil,you will have to continue it for atleast 10-12 months

CONCLUSION
Telogen effluvium is a reaction of hair to an acute stressful event. You can't stop it overnight but can control it very well
