Suggest Remedy For Severe Hair Loss

My wife is suffering from severe hair fall before and after the birth of our 3 1/2 months old daughter. Previously, she had some patches on her scalp presumably symptoms of Alopecia and was being injected on her head and took lots of medicines but of no avail. Please suggest a fail-proof remedy. Thanks & Regards

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Alopecia areata is a recurrent problem but with correct treatment the hair grows back on these areas. It is an autoimmune condition and can be triggered by stress.post partum telogen effluvium (hairfall following delivery) can last up to 18 months in some individuals. If there isn’t any alopecia at present, she can go for PRP( platelet rich plasma) treatments to control hairfall.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
