Hair loss after surgery is quite common. After all, your body has had a shock, and it takes time to recover.





the hair is not essential, so it is the first thing where body resources are pulled and it all goes to the other areas needing it. So your hair root suffered a short loss of nutrients, and it will fall out. It doesn't all fall out at once, but slowly. The good thing is that the hair starts growing back immediately, and you will have lots of short hairs soon.





What to do? Not much now. Just be sure you are in good health by eating well and that you are getting enough rest so that your body is back to normal soon. Your hair will look after itself. In the meantime, don't do anything other than keeping it clean. Too much brushing or combing will only pull out those weakened hairs faster, so try to keep it at a minimum. A shorter cut may help to make it look better, but won't help make it grow. That has to come from within.I think im suffering from ';post surgery alopecia,'; what can I do to help my hair loss?
From what I read, hair loss caused by surgery is telogen effluvium which is what I have. Here's a background:





Telogen effluvium in short is when there is a shock or persistant stressor that causes your hair follicules to go into the resting stage so you notice a huge shed ((in your case, it was the surgery)). The bright side: it's a diffuse thinning so there are no bald spots but it will look thinner in some places than others, you won't go completely bald ((lose about 70% of your hair)) and even though that sounds like a lot, no one will notice but you. Also, it is completely reversable and not permanent. The hair loss usually starts about 3 months after the cause is removed. Once whatever is causing the fall out is present is out of your system, the hair will stop falling out and start the regrowth process ((with a surgery, it should be back to normal in about 1 year)).





My suggestions:


1. Take a high does of Biotin ((5000 mcg)). Depending on the type of hair loss, this is said to kick start hair regrowth. It could take a while to work but it will help your hair grow back healthy. This is found in most vitamin sections and is pretty inexpensive.


2. Until the hair grows back, look for a line called Nioxin ((found in speciality stores such as Sally's, Trade Secret or Master Cuts or it can be ordered offline)). It won't make your hair regrow and it won't make it thicker but it will make you and others perceive it's thicker ((9/10 can see a difference)). The stuff in the stores will only make it worse. This line is a bit pricey but soooo worth it.


3. Don't stress about it. I know it's easier said than done but stress is another cause of TE.





Hope this helped! Good Luck!
