10. Do pregnant women lose more hair than non-pregnant women?

Ans:

·        Yes, it is typical for pregnant women to experience alterations in their patterns of hair growth and shedding. Due to hormonal changes, many pregnant women see an increase in the thickness and volume of their hair. This is due to the fact that greater estrogen levels extend the hair growth phase, which causes less shedding and thicker-appearing hair.

It is possible to observe the increased hair loss, which may continue for several months. This shedding is a transient ailment that usually goes away by itself without any special care.

Consult a healthcare expert for a tailored evaluation and advice if you're worried about hair loss during or after pregnancy.
