1. Pregnancy Hair Loss

Many women experience thinning hair due to pregnancy hair loss.

Other reasons that can complicate thinning hair, include poor diet, inappropriate diet, aging hair, fine hair, thyroid side effects, psoriasis, and even digestive disruptions.

In some cases, hair loss can be permanent, but fortunately pregnancy hair loss is usually temporary. Although temporary, there is a certain window of time after birth that can make or break the long-term hair growth effects.

in many cases it is temporary. There are a number of treatments available for post-partum hair loss, including medications, scalp treatments, and hair restoration procedures.

2. Causes of Post-Partum Hair Loss:

There can be many causes for post-partum hair loss, including hormonal changes, stress, dietary issues, medication contraindications, etc. 

In most cases, your hair will grow back within a few months, however, seek medical treatment if your hair loss is prolonged.

3. Treatments for Pregnancy Hair Loss:

There are many treatments available for hair loss but may NOT be suitable for post-partum hair loss. Always get clear about side effect. In the case of Propecia, the warnings include that pregnant women should not physically touch it as it is a powerful hormone disruptor.  Some women find that over-the-counter minoxidil solutions help to promote hair growth. Prescription corticosteroid injections may be recommended for severe cases, but ONLY under medical supervision and close monitoring. 

Scalp treatments such as massages,and scalp exfoliation can also be helpful in restoring scalp and follicle health resulting in better hair growth. 

Hair restoration procedures such as hair transplants, scalp reductions, and scalp lifts can be effective in cosmetic ways but may not reduce the issue of ongoing hair loss. 

4.Hormonal Changes:

Hormonal changes can cause thinning hair.

In women, this is often caused by fluctuations in estrogen and testosterone levels during pregnancy and postpartum. 

In extreme cases, Hormone replacement therapy can help to regulate these hormone levels and may help to prevent hair loss, but only after having exhausted all other natural alternatives. 

Hormonal fluctuations which alter during pregnancy (high estrogen) and while breast feeding diminish rapidly after ending breast feeding. With this steep hormonal correction, many suffer what is considered an alarming amount of hair loss and is typically not permanent. 

During this hormone rebalancing period, more attention should be paid to diet, nutrition, water intake and being sure that only the safest beauty products touch your hair and scalp. This period of 6-12 weeks is very important and utmost care will help insure long-term growth. 

5. Medications:

Some medications have hair loss side effects. Chemotherapy drugs are well known for causing hair loss.
But things like anti-inflammatory drugs, blood thinners, and birth control pills can also cause hair loss.

Stay in touch with your doctor if you notice abnormal hair loss.
