Why Does Hair Fall Occur After Pregnancy? • During pregnancy, high oestrogen levels prolong the hair growth phase • After delivery, oestrogen drops sharply, sending many follicles into the shedding phase simultaneously • This is called telogen effluvium — a temporary, diffuse hair loss • Typically begins 2–4 months postpartum and peaks around month 4 Is Postpartum Hair Loss Permanent? • In most cases, hair naturally regrows within 6–12 months • If hair loss persists beyond 12 months, other causes (thyroid, iron deficiency, androgenetic alopecia) must be ruled out • A dermatologist can run targeted blood tests to identify contributing factors Clinical Treatments for Postpartum Hair Loss in Hyderabad • PRP therapy: Platelet-rich plasma injections stimulate follicle activity • Nutritional supplementation: Iron, Biotin, Vitamin D, Zinc based on blood reports • Minoxidil (5% topical): Helps stabilise hair loss and promote regrowth • Medicated scalp serums: Anti-inflammatory and growth-stimulating formulas • GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) therapy: Advanced PRP alternative with higher growth factor concentration When to See a Dermatologist • Hair loss is still severe after 6 months postpartum • Scalp is visible or hair density has significantly reduced • Hair is not regrowing after initial shedding phase • Accompanied by fatigue, weight changes, or other symptoms Self-Care Tips to Support Regrowth • Eat a protein-rich diet (eggs, lentils, dairy) • Avoid tight hairstyles and heat styling during recovery • Be gentle when washing and combing hair
