Post partum hair loss
I'm on 4 months postpartum. I'm facing severe hairfall since 2 weeks . Previously I had vit D and Vit B 12 deficiency ( other tests are normal ) I
would like to take some vitamin supplements which are safe for breastfeeding moms. Currently i'm taking tablets - COARCIMIN and GLONIA prescribed by my gynac.
I never had this huge hair loss in my entire life . I know its a postpartum hairloss still it's very concerning .
I wash my hair daily during sunny days and alternately on rainy days. I use Coconut hair oil and mild shampoo.
I haven't done any kind of chemical treatment on my hair recently . I have no other issues like dandruff or scalp itching .
My sleep is also not proper now a days. I'm too much stressed about this hairfall.I need some solution ASAP otherwise I'll get bald very soon.

Postpartum hairfall is unavoidable. Deficiencies must be ruled out. Stressing about hairfall causes further hairfall. It's better for you to know the reason for postpartum hairfall fall and how long it usually lasts
Next Steps
kindly book online consultation for proper counselling and management

Post partum hairfall is a reversible condition. However you can test iron and calcium as well to rule out deficiency. Kindly consult for other reasons of hairfall and management accordingly.
