i have recovered from jaundice n nw i hav a lot of hairfall...is it the reason for dat? coz before my hair used to be so thick n now its size is going down...i have gone through thyroid test and it was normal...can u please let me noe the reason for it and precautions to take...?
I would keep a possibility of Telogen effluvium. Telogen is the resting phase of hair growth cycle. After any stressful event e.g medical illness like Jaundice, 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.
I would suggest a healthy diet rich in nutrients, vitamins and minerals. You could take an oral Biotin supplement once daily for 3-6 months, which would aid in recovery from Telogen effluvium
