A member asked:
Is it normal for my hair to fall out after giving birth?
13 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: During certain major hormonal events in a woman's life, all the hair follicles catch up with each other and fall out together. Gradually they get back into various stages of hair development and fall out at different times.

No: Not normal, please see your gyn for hormone blood tests like testosterone, d-heas estridiol and Progesterone among others and u may need referral to an endocrinologist or a dermatologist.
