What is telogen effluvium?
Dr Neha Singh, Senior Healthcare Consultant at Bhavil Homoeopathic Clinic, says telogen effluvium, that is postpartum hair loss is caused by dip in oestrogen levels after childbirth. Breastfeeding may delay shedding but doesn't prevent it. Recovery typically occurs within 6–12 months. Nutrient-rich diet, gentle hair care products, doctor-guided treatment support healthy regrowth in this phase.
