Understanding Postpartum Hair loss

Hormonal Shifts and Hair Changes

Hormonal changes, especially fluctuations in estrogen during menopause, pregnancy and other life changes, can impact hair growth and texture. These shifts affect the hair growth cycle (anagen, catagen and telogen), leading to thicker hair during pregnancy, shedding postpartum and thinning during menopause.

Timeline of hair changes due to hormonal shifts:

1. Puberty: Changes in hormones may cause thicker or coarser hair.
2. Pregnancy: Elevated estrogen prolongs hair growth, resulting in fuller hair
3. Postpartum: Hormone drop leads to shedding lasting a few months.
4. Menopause: Decreased estrogen causes hair thinning and brittleness
5. Other imbalances: Conditions like hypothyroidism or high cortisol can lead to hair loss.

Key hormones influencing hair

1. Estrogen: Promotes hair growth by extending the anagen phase
2. Androgens: Excess can cause hair thinning, especially in women
3. Thyroid Hormones: Imbalances can lead to hair loss
4. Cortisol: High stress can push hair into the resting phase, causing shedding.

If you have excessive hair loss or any texture changes, then you can consult a doctor to know the underlying cause and explore treatment options.
