The technical name for this type of hair loss is telogen effluvium, which means excessive shedding. The hormone fluctuations that happen in women who are postpartum cause more strands of hair than usual to enter the resting stage and then fall out a few weeks late. It usually begins 1 to 6 months after childbirth. While it can last as long as 18 months. Medication will depend on the amount of hair loss and the type of hir. Consult a Dermatologist for the same.
Health Tips
Avoid OTC products. Maintain a high protein diet.
