Hello,

You seem to have postpartum telogen effluvium which is hormonal due to a withdrawal of hair stimulating effect of estrogen on hair during pregnancy.

This is usually self-limiting and recovers in 3-6 months.

However, I suggest you take a well balanced nutritious diet along with an oral biotin supplement.

Correction of any deficiency like serum iron and vitamin D, vitamin B12 would also help.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
