Many mothers who are breastfeeding will find that they are losing a lot of hair, which makes them very panic. Is there any disease in the body? What causes hair loss during breastfeeding? Don’t worry, today I will explain to you the reasons for hair loss during breastfeeding. Causes of hair loss during breastfeeding 1. Changes in female hormones Medical clinical studies have confirmed that when the level of estrogen is high, the rate of hair growth is very slow, on the contrary, the rate of hair growth will accelerate. The amount of estrogen in pregnant women's bodies increases during pregnancy, which increases the "lifespan" of hair that should normally fall out during pregnancy. When the baby is born, the mother's body's estrogen content begins to decrease, and the proportion of her hormones slowly returns to the normal balance ready for pregnancy. Due to the "decline" in the body's estrogen level, the hair of these "overdue children" retire and fall out one after another, while new hair cannot grow for a while, resulting in a "no successor" situation for the hair, causing the hair to become thinner and accompanied by itchy scalp and increased dandruff. 2. The stimulation of mental factors Pregnant mothers are always under excessive tension and easily fatigued from the time of delivery to the time of giving birth. In addition, breastfeeding and taking care of the baby by themselves affect the quality of sleep. These factors are all causes of hair loss. After hair loss, the mother will feel anxious and restless, which will generate new mental stimulation. This cycle will continue, causing more hair loss. Hair loss during breastfeeding is a normal physiological need and mothers do not need to panic too much. But you still need to take care of yourself and reduce the level of hair loss. Therefore, in daily life, we must pay attention to the method of washing our hair, massage our head frequently, and promote blood circulation in the head. In addition, it is also very important to maintain a stable mentality. |
