Hello Nethra,
Hair fall is commen after physical stress. As you hand deliver 3 months back means you body was in heavy stress. This will become normal with in 6 to 12 months And one more thing it’s also may be due to withdrawal of healthy food why you may had during pregnancy.
But if it’s so severe the go for :_ TSH vit.D3 Vit.B12 Biotin Zinc S.Iron, Ferritin etc… CBC
Don’t forget to follow up Thanks
Hair loss after delivering a baby, often called postpartum hair loss, is common and usually occurs due to hormonal changes. During pregnancy, high levels of estrogen keep your hair in the growing phase, leading to less shedding. After giving birth, as your hormone levels adjust back to normal, the excess hair begins to fall out. This typically happens around 3 to 4 months postpartum, which seems to align with your experience. Though this can feel alarming, it’s generally temporary. Most women see their hair return to its pre-pregnancy fullness within a year after birth. Here’s what you can consider doing: Maintain a balanced diet rich in essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and proteins, which help support hair health. Foods rich in iron, zinc, and vitamin D are also beneficial. You might want to consult with a healthcare provider or a registered dietitian for personalized dietary advice. Use a gentle shampoo and conditioner, avoiding products with harsh chemicals that might further stress your hair. A wide-tooth comb can minimize breakage when detangling wet hair. Stress management through activities like yoga or meditation can indirectly benefit hair health by improving your overall well-being. If you’re concerned or if your hair loss seems excessive, it’s wise to consult your healthcare provider. They can rule out other causes such as thyroid issues or nutritional deficiencies. It’s important not to panic, as this phase is a normal part of the post-pregnancy process for many. However, do seek medical advice if any aspect of the situation feels distressing or if there’s a family history of other hair or scalp issues that might require specific attention.
