Everyone is excited about the arrival of the new born and both of you are preparing for him or her. However you also noticed that after delivery, you started to notice that your hair is thinning and starting to fall off. If that is the case, you may be suffering from Telogen Effluvium.
What is Telogen Effluvium?
Telogen Effluvium refers to the increase loss of hair due to sudden change in life events e.g. severe stress or childbirth. It is usually temporary and will recover after that. However sometimes hair shedding continues until the root cause is fixed.
For a woman, it is common to experience lose some locks and curls approximately 3 months after childbirth. Why is this so? The oestrogens levels during pregnancy are higher than normal and hence you may find your locks and curls fuller ad healthier. After childbirth, the oestrogens level go back to the pre-pregnancy level and the excess shafts shed off by themselves. This is a normal process and you should not be too alarmed. Generally, this recovers after approximately 9 – 12 months after delivery. However if this still continues, there might be a real genuine problem of falling follicles.
This condition is something that can be treated. Certain doctors might prescribe some drugs such as Propecia. You may want to consult your doctor on possible side effects before taking the prescription. Other possible solutions include going to salons or doctors for transplants or to take on natural remedies.
Natural remedies usually include natural botanicals such as Nettle or Saw Palmetto which are good for curbing the condition and promoting growth. There are no general side effects since the remedies are using natural ingredients. However it is important to read the labels and ensure that the product suits your needs. A woman’s body constituent is different as from man and thus it is important to find one that is suited for woman.
Now that you know more about childbirth related hair loss. I would like to share with you one great hair loss treatment product that I chance upon which uses natural ingredients and yet is suitable for woman.

What Are Steroids Facts And Fallacies Of Fitness Extract
Anabolic means ‘growth promoting’, the building up of complex substances in the body (in particular, protein), the opposite of catabolic, or breaking down of complex substances. Anabolic-androgenic (AA) steroids are substances derived from the androgenic (male producing) male sex hormone, testosterone. Some lifters use pure testosterone, in its injectable form, depo-testosterone (depo means injectable), but it is considered less hazardous to use its derivatives because of the lower risk of cancer.
All the derivatives have been manufactured from testosterone by manipulating its chemical structure to increase its anabolic effects and decrease its androgenic effects. Derivatives became necessary because pure testosterone taken by mouth is too rapidly broken down by the liver to be effective except in very large doses. This has produced Dianabol, Winstrol, Durabolin, Anavar, Primobolan, Oranabol and many other similar substances whose names can be recited by the average serious bodybuilder like a chef can quote recipes.
‘Anabolic’ steroids were originally intended to help severely debilitated patients regain muscle tissue after serious burns, long periods of bed rest, starvation, loss of appetite or general physical wasting. This debilitation is often assessed by measuring the amount of nitrogen lost from the body in the urine, Thus, if one is in positive nitrogen balance, it means that your body is absorbing nitrogen or protein. If you have a negative nitrogen balance, you are not depositing sufficient protein in your body and you are inevitably going to lose muscle mass.
The nitrogen balance of your body depends largely on the levels of hormones in the body, including testosterone, androstenedione and insulin. Thus, if you t
1000
ake sufficient quantities of appropriate extra anabolic steroids by mouth or injection, you may gain muscle mass and strength, provided you stress the body with adequate heavy exercise and eat enough protein and carbohydrates.
The trouble is that the extra steroids may upset the intricate balance between all the other hormones in the body and cause side effects ranging from acne, decrease in testicle size, hair loss and increased aggression to sterility, leukaemia and cancer of the liver or prostate gland. The medical use of anabolic agents, as with all drugs, involves taking a calculated risk of balancing the advantages and disadvantages against one another.
What steroid users often forget is that the effect of these drugs is highly individual, so that one person might use large doses safely for many years, without suffering apparent harm, while another might develop cancer. Similarly, a particular steroid may be very effective for one athlete, but useless for another. Furthermore, the same steroid taken for long periods, may lose its effectiveness, unless dosage is increased to possibly hazardous levels.

Hair Loss Is Not Simple Genetics
One of the most commonly suggested causes of hair loss in both men and women is a genetic defect. The fact it may be inherited means it is not your fault when your hair thins and falls out and, perhaps more importantly, the condition is not necessarily something that can be cured. Of course, there is some evidence that hair loss does run in families, but there is more evidence that our lifestyles and medical decisions can be even more important factors in deciding who loses hair and how quickly. We will ignore the cultural effect of changing hairstyles where too much traction in pulling the hair back into a ponytail or comparable style may accelerate hair loss, the effect of a general anesthetic for surgery (curiously, many who undergo gastric bypass surgery often lose the most hair), increased levels of anxiety and stress, and both chemo- and radiotherapy for cancer. The most consistent cause surrounds the level of different hormones in the body.
In women, for example, the level of estrogen drops during and after pregnancy, and during the menopause. This has been directly linked to both the thinning of hair and its loss from the scalp. Some women also lose hair as a reaction to particular oral contraceptives. For obvious reasons, the level of hormones naturally occurring in the male body tends to be more stable. But, in both genders, thyroid problems can affect the production of hormones and produce early baldness in men. Similarly, for a number of reasons, the levels of the hormones may be affected artificially. The most consistent causes stem from the use of steroids which are commonly used for a variety of strictly medical, e.g. to control asthma, and other purposes, e.g. as supplements to promote growth and for strength while weight training. As an adverse side effect, many weight loss products affect the thyroid and hair suffers. Finally, it is not just athletes who di
1000
scover some diet and other supplements affect the level of testosterone in their bodies. Many who take “natural” dietary and nutritional supplements find out the hard way that some “natural” chemicals affect hair growth and retention.
This should give you pause for thought. Because there are many possible causes of hair loss, you should not guess what is affecting you and self-medicate. The research evidence shows the majority of people are completely unaware that their own lifestyles or the drugs prescribed to them by physicians may be responsible. Always get a formal diagnosis from your regular healthcare professional. If he or she confirms your hair loss is an adverse side effect of drugs or supplements you are using, the remedies will be clear. But, if male pattern baldness is confirmed, propecia is the tried and tested response (albeit not for Olympic athletes like Zach Lund who were banned from competition if they took this drug). Because this drug was developed some time ago, you will now find both the branded and generic propecia (also called finasteride) freely available from most of the online pharmacies. This will save you some serious money while enabling you to both slow hair loss and often encourage some regrowth. However, two small facts should be borne in mind. Propecia works best when it is taken early in the cycle of hair loss. Secondly, hair loss restarts once you stop taking the drug.
