What causing the hair loss during pregnancy?

Posted under Hair Loss After Pregnancy by admin on Saturday 18 April 2009

During the 3rd month pregnancy, observed the hair loss is more than before pregnant. What causing this? And what to do?

Hair loss during pregnancy is uncommon. If hair loss is severe or occurs in round or oval patches, consult your doctor. This may be due to a vitamin or mineral deficiency.

Pregnancy-related hair loss most often occurs several months after delivery. During pregnancy, an increased percentage of hairs are in a growing phase and normal shedding of hair declines. After a woman gives birth, a large number of follicles shed hair at once. Although unsettling, this hair loss is temporary. Hair typically returns to its normal fullness and growth cycle within a few months.
