Hairloss after miscarriage
After my recent miscarriage and D&C, I am noticing huge hairloss. I wasnt a person who had amazing hair growth from childhood. I had PCOS and tsh issues but they got solved almost 5 years ago and now I'm free from such hormone issues (tested). Only vit d was less as I went for vitamin tests too(vitamin d is 27 which isnt thay much less I believe) What are the options I can try for hair growth or atleast to stop hairfall ?

Hair loss after a miscarriage is often linked to a condition called telogen effluvium. Telogen effluvium is a temporary hair shedding condition where a significant number of hair follicles enter the resting phase prematurely, leading to increased hair loss. Hormonal changes, physical stress, and emotional distress associated with a miscarriage can trigger telogen effluvium. It generally resolves in 6 months. However, If you're experiencing significant hair loss, it's recommended to consult for proper guidance on managing the condition.

It's acute telogen effluvium due to the stress of D&C
It usually improves by itself in 6 months and hair regrow
However this is for a regular person
You have a lot of other cofactors
It needs to be holistically managed
You most definitely require a good dermatologist
