Brief Answer:
Calcium and nutritional deficiency.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The joint pains and hair fall after a childbirth is mainly due to nutritional deficiencies. This happens due to calcium, iron, folic acid and biotin deficiencies.
She can follow some simple measures to help with these -
1. Take a high protein and calcium rich diet. Taking supplements like Corcium C will help her further.
2. Take iron and zinc supplements like Fefol-Z.
3. Avoid exposure to direct sun for long durations.
4. Keep your hairs covered outdoors to avoid damage from dust , etc.
5. Take high doses of vitamin Biotin and folic acid like tablets Biopreg-F. Multivitamin supplements like Cap. Hairbless will also help.
6. Stay away from stress and anxiety.
She can use pills like Micronor, Norgeston or Noriday for contraception after consulting her gynecologist.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
