Why do you lose your hair after giving birth? There are two reasons

Most of the severe hair loss after childbirth is caused by physiological reasons. Giving birth will cause drastic changes in body hormones and excessive body oil secretion, which will cause hair loss. Some women will also experience depression and anxiety after childbirth, and excessive mental stress will also cause continuous hair loss.

Giving birth has many physical effects on women. Many people will experience severe hair loss after giving birth. If no timely intervention is given at this time, irreversible hair follicle damage may occur. However, as long as conditioning is carried out as soon as possible, the hair can be effectively relieved. So why is the hair loss so severe after giving birth?
1. Physiological reasons for severe hair loss after childbirth
1. Drastic changes in hormones <br/>Just after giving birth, the hormone levels in the body will change dramatically, and estrogen will fluctuate, which can cause hair loss. This is actually a physiological phenomenon caused by endocrine changes, not a pathological disease, so no special treatment is required. As long as you properly supplement estrogen after childbirth, or eat foods containing estrogen, such as peanut butter, you can effectively relieve the symptoms.
2. Excessive oil secretion <br/>Some women will have excessive oil secretion after childbirth, which is also a normal physiological change. When the head secretes too much oil, it is easy to cause hair loss, so you can wash your head more often to reduce oil secretion.
2. Psychological reasons for severe hair loss after childbirth <br/>Postpartum depression can easily cause hair loss symptoms. After giving birth, many women will experience rapid mental stress in a short period of time, and the crying of the child will also aggravate the depression and anxiety. If the depression cannot be relieved for a long time, it will cause hair loss. Such a situation must be treated in time, otherwise it will not only cause hair loss, but also lead to self-harm and suicidal behavior. It is recommended that mothers can use psychological therapy appropriately to relieve their mood, and they can receive regular psychological counseling.
