What is Postpartum Hair Loss?

Postpartum hair loss, also called telogen effluvium, is a temporary hair shedding condition experienced by women after childbirth. It occurs due to hormonal changes, mainly a drop in estrogen levels after delivery, which causes hair follicles to enter the resting (telogen) phase, leading to excessive shedding. Typically, hair shedding starts 2–4 months after delivery and may last up to 6–12 months.

Causes of Postpartum Hair Loss

Hormonal fluctuations (drop in estrogen and progesterone)

Stress and fatigue from pregnancy and childcare

Nutritional deficiencies (iron, protein, vitamins)

Medical conditions such as thyroid imbalances

Genetics may play a minor role in susceptibility

Symptoms

Increased hair shedding, especially around the hairline and crown
Thinner hair overall
Noticeable hair accumulation on pillows, brushes, and in the shower
Temporary hair thinning without scarring

Why Treatment is Important

  • Supports faster hair regrowth
  • Prevents prolonged or excessive hair thinning
