脫髮恐懼

自從放完 100 日長假返工之後, 我發現患上 "極" 嚴重嘅脫髮問題, 每天在床上, 浴室地上, 又或是沖涼的浴缸, 都留有大量的長頭髮, 情況很可怕

起初以為係心理因素影響 (1) 太掛住彤彤, 擔心佢又厭奶, 緊張佢濕疹問題... (2) 上班的壓力, 因為太耐冇用腦, 個人好似慢半拍... (3) 因為湊彤彤嘅問題, 成日夾在父母同老公中間... (4) 請唔請工人... (5) 應唔應該搬近 d 父母屋企方便睇彤彤...

一大埋 outstanding issues....

曾經有諗過睇醫生, 但係都預期是一些 "放鬆 d" 之類嘅說話, 點知今日 babycenter 嘅 regular subscription 話我知這個 "脫髮恐懼" 再正常不過

鬆了一口氣

Why is my hair falling out now that I've given birth?

Expert Answers

All new moms experience hair loss, though some lose more than others.

Here's why it happens. During pregnancy, changes in your hormone levels cause your hair to stay in a resting phase for longer, so you lose less hair on a daily basis. (You may have noticed that your hair seemed thicker than usual.)

After you've given birth and your hormones have settled down — usually at about 12 weeks after delivery — more hair shifts into a shedding phase. You may be alarmed to find hair coming out by the handful.

Normally, you lose about 100 to 125 hairs a day, but after delivery, you may be losing about 500 a day.  This can be very disturbing, but try not to worry too much — you won't go bald!

There's little you can do about the shedding, other than to be patient. The shedding tends to be most noticeable when you're shampooing or brushing your hair, so you may find that shampooing less frequently or letting your hair dry naturally instead of brushing and blow-drying helps slow the loss.

On the other hand, it's going to fall out at some point, and you might prefer that it happen in private. Regular washing and brushing may help you avoid leaving a trail of shedding hair behind you all day. Try using a thickening shampoo if you feel your locks are getting too thin.

You may notice fine "baby" hair growing along your hairline at the top of your forehead once the shedding phase has ended. Having bangs can do a lot to camouflage this wispy new growth while it's growing out.

Within another six months or so, your hair should be back to its normal pre-pregnancy thickness, but you may find that the texture of your hair is never exactly the same. It may be wavier or straighter or more dry or oily than it was before pregnancy. This is probably due to the hormonal upheaval you've just been through.

If the hair loss doesn't seem to be slowing and you're still losing lots of hair six or so months after delivery, check in with a dermatologist or your healthcare provider. It may be a sign that you're low on iron, which is not entirely uncommon for new moms.
