Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic I feel really sorry for the pregnancy loss and I empathise with you. The hair loss is most likely the result of Telogen Effluvium. Telogen is the resting phase of hair growth cycle. After any stressful event e.g medical illness like typhoid, dengue etc the hair gets shifted from the growth phase (anagen) to resting phase (telogen) which is manifested as increased shedding. Telogen usually begin 3 months after the stressful event and can last up to 6 months following which the hair follicle re-enters the growing phase. Moreover during pregnancy the anagen phase gets prolonged under the effect of hormones. Just as when the pregnancy gets over, this anagen favourable effect of hormones on hair is withdrawn and hair that were preserved during pregnancy are shed post- partum (post partum anagen release). This phase usually begins 3 months post partum and can continue for 3-6 months Thus, in your case there are not just 1 but 2 factors together, responsible for increased hair shedding (typhoid and post partum anagen release). I would suggest you to take a healthy diet rich in nutrients, vitamins and minerals. An oral biotin supplement and an oral Iron supplement can be added for a faster response. regards
