Hair Loss
I don’t know about you .. but ever since giving birth to my kid four years ago, I am losing all my hair. I thought at first they said.. it was because of the change in hormones .. and that it would get better. But not true.. 4 yrs later.. i’m still losing hair big time. Everywhere i go .. sit or sleep or eat.. i have hair everywhere. Scarey it is .. it’s all over my sweater too. I hate it. This is what i’ve read so far from a medical expert.
“Hair loss after delivery is very common, particularly between three and nine months after birth. The reason for this is that during pregnancy there is a change in the normal pattern of hair growth and loss, resulting in much less hair being lost than usual. At about three months after delivery the hair follicles, which have been in an extended phase of growth, change to a shedding phase. The result can be a significant thinning of the hair, but no treatment is required and after another four to six months the usual balance of hair growth and loss will be re-established. Sometimes the hair loss can be more marked in one area, but bald patches do not tend to occur. If your GP found areas of obvious inflammation on your scalp, it is possible there is another condition affecting your scalp. Several medical conditions can cause hair loss anemia and thyroid problems, for example) so if you are feeling unwell in any way it would be worth talking to your GP about it.”
