Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that hairfall in women post pregnancy can be most probably de to hormonal changes and imbalances..
Secondly there can also be nutritional deficiencies in women post child birth that can cause hairfall..
On e more common cause is pattern baldness that occurs due to sensitivity if hair follicles to androgenic hormones..

In your case it seems that there is severe hairfall as you are loosing more than hundred strands and also volume is reduced to half in one month..

I would suggest you to consult a Trichologist and get evaluated and he can do a clinical evaluation and can advise you tests like hormonal profile, complete blood picture to confirm the cause and can treat you accordingly..

You can be advised to apply 2% Minoxidil lotion over the scalp..
You can be advised to take Biotin, Iron and multivitamin supplements..
You should massage the scalp with warm coconut oil..
You should take a nutritious diet and drink plenty of water..

You can also discuss about platelet rich plasma and Mesotherapy..


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
