Some patients experience this due to lack of vitamins, trace elements, or changes in endocrine function.

Can postpartum hair loss be recovered?

Postpartum hair loss generally recovers over time. Many young women experience more hair loss after childbirth compared to usual, making the hair appear sparser. This is due to the influence of hormones during pregnancy, which causes many hair follicles to enter a resting phase. After this resting phase, hair loss occurs. This condition is usually more noticeable within six months after childbirth and tends to gradually return to normal from six months to a year postpartum, with most women experiencing a recovery. In daily life, it's important to rest, enhance nutrition, eat fresh vegetables and protein-rich foods, and improve overall immunity. It is also important to check for and correct any anemia.
