SOLUTION AND TREATMENT FOR ALOPECIA DURING PREGNANCY

Throughout pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes a number of changes in order to cope with the development of the baby inside her. The increase in hormones during this period has an effect on every part of the body. During this stage, it is essential to follow a healthy diet to maintain adequate levels of nutrients and vitamins.

During pregnancy, the hair does not follow its normal cycle. Usually, 90% of the hair is in the growth phase (anagen phase) and the remaining 10% is in the resting phase (telogen phase). After the resting phase, the hair generally falls out before the follicle returns to the anagen phase and it is replaced by a new hair. Pregnant women tend to have thicker hair, as this growth cycle stops at the resting phase. However, some women do occasionally suffer from alopecia during pregnancy. This hair loss can happen for many reasons.

Causes of alopecia during pregnancy

Unbalanced nutrition

A woman’s nutritional needs change during pregnancy to adapt to her growing baby. Many pregnant women experience anaemia because their need for iron to aid their increasing blood supply exceeds their intake of this metal. An inadequate iron intake can lead to hair loss. Not eating enough protein, vitamins and minerals can also lead to this situation, so it is recommendable to be very careful about your diet during pregnancy.

Medical conditions during pregnancy

Some medical conditions such as gestational diabetes can also cause hair loss. On the one hand, if you have gestational diabetes, the hair follicle regeneration process can be adversely affected by fluctuating hormone levels. High blood sugar levels can also obstruct the blood flow, causing circulatory problems and deteriorating the follicles.

Hormonal changes

Hair loss can also be caused by hormonal changes that are completely normal during pregnancy. Every time the body undergoes a drastic hormonal change, the normal cycle of hair growth can be affected and may even stop, resulting in irregularities and producing what is known as telogen effluvium, which is characterised by excessive shedding of hair. Telogen effluvium can also be caused by the emotional changes associated with pregnancy.

Treatment for alopecia during pregnancy

Most treatments for androgenetic alopecia are not safe or are not recommended during pregnancy. These include minoxidil, antiandrogens, supplements and over-the-counter products. The cardinal rule when treating any condition or using any treatment during pregnancy is simple: ask your doctor.

Hair loss is not a medical emergency, but its underlying cause, such as a nutritional deficiency or an illness, may be serious for both you and your baby. You should therefore talk to your doctor if you notice that you are shedding excessive amounts of hair. Meanwhile, avoid brushing your hair too much and do not pull it, as that may cause weak hairs to break.
