After experiencing childbirth, women not only have the joy of welcoming a new life, but also encounter problems that come with childbirth, such as hair loss. Hair becomes dry and yellow, and a large amount of hair falls out, which makes women feel very irritable. So, why does postpartum hair loss occur?
Postpartum hair loss is related to changes in estrogen levels in the body. During pregnancy, the rate of hair loss slows down due to increased hormones. As estrogen levels gradually recover after childbirth, the rate of hair loss accelerates, usually improving between 6-9 months postpartum. Women should not be overly nervous. This is a temporary physiological phenomenon. Women should not worry too much to avoid worsening hair loss. They should maintain a happy mood. If this phenomenon is more serious, they can also take medication under the guidance of a doctor.
The demand for various nutrients increases during pregnancy, and if not replenished in a timely manner after childbirth, coupled with the loss of too much nutrition during delivery, it will affect hair growth, causing hair to become dry, yellow, and prone to breakage. Therefore, women should have a reasonable diet, balanced nutrition, eat more fruits, vegetables, and eggs after childbirth to meet the needs of hair growth. They should also keep their hair dry and conducive to the growth of new hair.
Although postpartum hair loss is common, women can also take preventive measures in advance to avoid excessive hair loss. During pregnancy, attention should be paid to nourishing the kidneys by consuming more black foods, which is beneficial for replenishing kidney qi. Additionally, choosing a good comb can help promote qi and blood in the head.
