How to stop hair loss after anesthesia?

I had a minor surgery a few months ago, and ever since, my hair has been falling excessively. The doctor said it might be due to the anesthesia. Is there a way to stop this hair loss?

After my surgery, my thyroid levels fluctuated which made my hair fall. Please get a regular blood test done and consult your doctor to ensure everything is balanced post-anesthesia.

This is actually a very common phase called telogen effluvium post-surgery! Just keep eating healthy proteins and your hair will happily bounce back soon.

That sounds so stressful, but my biology professor told us that physical shock from surgery can cause temporary shedding. It usually gets normal on its own, so don't worry too much!

My body is still trying to wake up from my dental surgery, and now my hair decided to take a permanent nap too! Just trying to eat well and sleep, hope it stops soon.

You can try gentle scalp massages with simple coconut oil to improve blood flow. But since you recently had anesthesia, it is best to check with your doctor before applying any strong herbal remedies.

The stress of surgery can definitely trigger shedding, much like hormonal shifts. I've learned to just focus on a nourishing diet and give the body time to recover instead of trying quick fixes.
