What causes postpartum hair loss?

Another condition that many new moms experience and worry about is hair loss after delivery! Primary causes of this condition are including nutrient deficiencies and some hormonal disorders after giving birth.


It can be noticed that women have a healthy hair during pregnancy because the high estrogen levels in pregnant women maintain continuously for a long period of time. Thus, there is no hair loss or less hair loss during 9 months of conceiving.

However, estrogen levels decrease after women give birth. So, they return to have the hair loss as they did. Many new moms experience postpartum hair loss when their baby is 3 months old. It’s just a temporary condition. The hair loss will disappear in 6 months after delivery.

How to prevent the excessive hair fall is to consume healthy foods especially the foods that are high in iron and vitamin B. Avoid doing a hot perm, pulling or forcing out while brushing as well as tying hair too tightly.

If your postpartum hair loss is still remaining over a year, please visit the doctor then receive the treatment respectively.

Frequent drinking and hangovers increase the risk of infertility

Frequent parties and hangovers can directly and indirectly affect your health, especially for those who are already planning to have children. This makes it even more difficult to have children!

Because frequent and large amounts of alcoholic beverages cause the hormones in the body to function abnormally.

What are the effects of drinking alcohol and hangovers?

In men > Abnormal testosterone production results in the body producing less sperm, poor quality sperm, and reduced fertilization ability.

In women > Abnormalities in the pituitary glands hormone system and hormones that control ovarian function result in no ovulation, abnormal uterine lining, and increased chances of premature birth or miscarriage.

It also reduces the absorption of vitamins and minerals, increasing the risk of malnutrition such as magnesium and potassium. It also comes with negative effects from a “hangover” such as insufficient sleep, restless sleep, headaches, dizziness, vomiting, dehydration, fatigue, etc. These are indirect negative effects that affect the body. 

Therefore, drinking excessive amounts of liquor, beer, wine, or other alcoholic beverages is a cause of infertility and reduces the chances of having children by up to 50%.

If anyone is planning a pregnancy and still has problems controlling their alcohol consumption, you may need to consider consulting a mental health professional or medical professional to find a treatment plan.
