POST-PARTUM HAIR LOSS IS A
CONDITION THAT OCCURS AFTER GIVING
BIRTH AND USUALLY ACCOMPANIED
WITH SUDDEN SHEDDING OF THE HAIR.
WHEN A WOMAN IS PREGNANT HER
ESTROGEN AND PROGESTERONE
LEVELS INCREASE, PARTICULARLY
FROM THE SECOND TRIMESTER. THESE
HORMONES PLAY A HUGE ROLE IN
REGULATING HAIR GROWTH CYCLE.

According to Dr. Sejal Shah (Dermatologist), “During pregnancy
there are lots of hormonal shifts happening and one thing that
those hormonal shifts do is promote hair growth," This means that
most of women’s hair stays in the growth phase in the course of
pregnancy and your hair is not shedding for several months. The
main reason behind this is due the excess estrogen and
progesterone developed during pregnancy wherein it encourages
the hair to enter growth phase – grow faster and shed less.
The good news is Post-partum hair loss is normal. “It’s very natural
process” says Dr. Shah. This hair condition usually can last up to 18
months after giving birth but most women return normal phases of
hair growth sooner. You’re not going to be bald!All bad things will
also come to an end. |
