Patient's question:
I am 30 years old this year, and I just had a baby three and a half months ago. The child was born via cesarean section. Everything was basically normal after childbirth, but recently my hair has been shedding excessively. I hope to find the cause and a solution through this medical forum! Looking forward to your reply!Doctor's answer:
Hello: First, women must maintain a cheerful mood during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Second, pay attention to a balanced diet, consuming plenty of fresh vegetables, fruits, seafood, beans, eggs, etc., to meet the nutritional needs of the body and hair. Third, frequently comb your hair with a wooden comb or massage and stimulate the scalp rhythmically with your fingers, which can promote blood circulation in the scalp and benefit hair metabolism.If postpartum women experience hair loss, there is no need to be afraid. Taking vitamin B6 and hair growth capsules, as well as rubbing the bald areas with ginger slices regularly, can promote hair growth. Postpartum hair loss usually regrows within 6–9 months.
