What Causes Hair Loss During Pregnancy?

im pregnant and beginning my second trimester today. i have observed massive hair loss since i got pregnant. my diet is balanced, i dont take much salt with food, avoid fatty foods and all the normal stuff. my blood reports have come normal. i wanted to know if i can safely use cantharidine hair oil during pregnancy? are there any side effects for the baby? please advise. also, i experience severe dryness when sexually aroused. i have usually a high libido but is there any safe arousal gel/ cream that i can use ? thank you
You can use it.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Hair loss is common after delivery but during pregnancy if you are having hair loss it can be due to mineral and vitamin deficiency.
Hormonal imbalance, iron deficiency, stress, lack of sleep can also cause hair loss.
As such oil treatment is nothing to do with hair loss but if you want to use you can use it.
It is safe during pregnancy.
Usually during pregnancy there is excess of vaginal fluids to lubricate vagina and there is no need of lubricant.
But if you are feeling dryness you can use water based lubricant ( astroglide).perfumes and oil based products should be avoided.
Usually sex is not prohibited during pregnancy but extra stimulation and rough sex should be avoided.
Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more questions.
Good luck.
Regards


for the prompt reply.can you lista few available lubricants that also enhance arousal? Its weird for me to describe but I feel friskier than my usual high libido but I don't get wet to have intercourse. Yes I do have the Vaginal discharge that you mention. but I still have the problem.there's lot of dryness. Thank you for attending to my query again
You can use KY- jelly.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
You are most welcome and thanks for your appreciation.
You can use KY-jelly for sexual arousal.
As such you can use any lubricant which is water based because cervical opening is too tight and it will not affect your fetus.
So you can use them without stress.
Hope it is useful.
Good luck.
Regards
