Pregnancy is a time of significant change, not just emotionally and physically, but also in terms of hair health. Many new mothers experience hair fall both during and after pregnancy, often leading to concern and confusion. In her latest video, Dr. Sudeshna Saha, a renowned gynecologist and obstetrician in Kolkata, delves into this common issue, offering insights and solutions.

The Role of Hormones in Pregnancy-Related Hair Fall

During pregnancy, the body undergoes various hormonal changes, notably an increase in progesterone levels. This increase often leads to denser, fuller hair. However, post-delivery, as the progesterone levels drop back to their baseline, many women experience noticeable hair fall. This phenomenon, while concerning, is typically a temporary phase that stabilizes as the baby reaches 5-6 months.

Nutritional Strategies to Combat Hair Fall

Dr. Saha emphasizes the importance of nutrition in managing hair fall. A diet rich in vitamins B6, B7 (biotin), B9 (folic acid), and minerals like Zinc can significantly help in maintaining hair health. These nutrients not only support hair growth but also improve overall hair quality.

Addressing Underlying Health Conditions

In some cases, hair fall during pregnancy can be a symptom of underlying health issues such as hypothyroidism or anemia. Dr. Saha advises medical consultation to address these conditions. Proper management of these health issues, along with a nutrient-rich diet, can mitigate hair fall effectively.

Understanding the causes of hair fall during and after pregnancy and taking the right steps can help manage this issue effectively. Dr. Sudeshna Saha’s expert advice offers reassurance and practical solutions for expecting and new mothers facing this challenge.

What Are Uterine Fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in the uterus. They can vary in size and location within the uterus, and they are categorized into three main types: submucosal, subserosal, and intramural.

Understanding the Types:

Submucosal Fibroids:

These fibroids grow inside the uterine cavity and can affect the lining of the uterus. They can sometimes lead to heavy menstrual bleeding and fertility issues.

Subserosal Fibroid:

These fibroids develop on the outer surface of the uterus and may cause pressure or pain in the pelvic area. They can sometimes affect nearby organs.

Intramural Fibroids:

These are the most common type and grow within the muscular wall of the uterus. They can vary in size and may cause a range of symptoms, including heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain.

When Do You Need Treatment?

Not all uterine fibroids require treatment. Some women may have fibroids that are asymptomatic, meaning they don’t cause any noticeable health issues. In such cases, a “watch and wait” approach may be recommended.

However, when uterine fibroids become symptomatic, they can interfere with daily life and, in some cases, fertility. Symptoms may include heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, pressure in the lower abdomen, and fertility challenges. In these situations, personalized care and treatment options become crucial.

Treatment Decisions:

Dr. Sudeshna Saha emphasizes the importance of considering laparoscopic surgical options when necessary. Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive approach that can be highly effective in treating symptomatic fibroids while minimizing recovery time and discomfort.

Your health and well-being are paramount, and Dr. Sudeshna Saha is here to empower you with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions about your health and fertility.
