Dr. Zahir Zolih
I am a General Practitioner who kind of lives on the frontline of everything, really. From sneezes to serious stuff, I handle a mix of it all—and weirdly, that’s what I love about being a GP. I get to see newborns coming in for their first jabs, and then later that day maybe I'm talking through meds with someone who's managing diabetes or heart disease for years. There’s a lot of variety, which keeps me on my toes—nothing ever feels too routine. Most days, I’m diving into a bit of everything—diagnosing infections, keeping an eye on chronic conditions like asthma or hypertension, helping folks plan their health goals, or sometimes just being a good listener when they need to vent. Preventive care’s a big deal for me. I like to catch things early, before they grow into something more serious. Sometimes all it takes is one small observation or something a patient casually mentions—and that changes everything. What I try to do is treat people, not charts. It's about who they are, what matters to them, and what really works in their life—not just what the textbook says. Every treatment plan I make is adjusted based on the real-world challenges each person’s facing. I also explain stuff in plain language. Like, no jargon for the sake of sounding clever. If someone doesn’t understand their condition, how can they take care of themself properly? Oh, and I do my best to keep learning constantly. Medicine doesn’t pause, right? Whether it’s a new guideline, research update or clinical tool—I keep checking, reading, taking notes (sometimes at midnight, honestly). All of this helps me feel confident that what I’m offering isn’t outdated or guesswork. What keeps me going is the trust people place in me. Being someone’s go-to doctor, knowing they’ll come to me when they’re worried or confused—that’s a big responsibility. But also kinda a gift. I don’t just see symptoms, I see stories—and I get to be part of their health journey from day one to who-knows-when. It's not perfect, and yeah, sometimes I feel I missed something or could’ve said something better. But I’m always trying, always caring, and I’m really here—for all of it.

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.
