Experiencing Hair Loss After Hysterectomy. Will The Hair Grow Back?
I had a hysterectomy 7 weeks ago . About 2 weeks ago I started losing hair, more than usual. My hairdresser said it s just from the surgery, she sees it frquently. She said it will grow back. I am concerned it is from menopause , if so will the hair grow back in?
I would keep a possibility of telogen effluvium. Telogen is the resting phase of hair growth cycle. After any stressful event e.g surgery OR medical illness like dengue, typhoid etc the hair gets shifted from the growth phase (anagen) to resting phase (telogen) which is manifested as increased shedding. Telogen usually begin 3 months after the stressful event and can last upto 6 months following which the hair follicle re-enters the growing phase.
