Undergoing surgery and being under anesthesia can indirectly affect hormones, potentially leading to temporary hair loss. Here’s how: 1. Stress and the Body’s Response: • Surgery is a major physical stressor, and your body may respond by altering its hormonal balance. • High stress levels increase cortisol (the stress hormone), which can disrupt hair growth cycles and cause hair shedding, known as telogen effluvium. 2. Hormonal Imbalances: • Stress from surgery can temporarily suppress the production of certain hormones like estrogen and progesterone. These hormones are vital for hair health, and their reduction can trigger hair thinning. • Thyroid function might also be affected temporarily, which can lead to hair loss if levels drop. 3. Anesthesia’s Role: • Prolonged exposure to anesthesia may impact blood flow and oxygen delivery to hair follicles, leading to shedding in some cases. • Anesthesia-related stress on the body may amplify the hormonal changes and lead to hair loss. 4. Post-Surgical Effects: • Nutritional deficiencies, which are common after surgery due to reduced appetite or healing demands, can impact hair growth. Iron, zinc, and biotin are critical for hair health. • Medications like antibiotics or pain relievers can also contribute to hair thinning. How to Mitigate Hair Loss Post-Surgery: 1. Nutrient Support: Ensure a balanced diet rich in vitamins (B, D), minerals (iron, zinc), and protein. 2. Stress Management: Practice relaxation techniques to lower cortisol levels. 3. Hormonal Balance: Work with your doctor to monitor and support hormone levels. 4. Scalp Care: Use gentle hair products to minimize damage during recovery. 5. Patience: Hair loss post-surgery is often temporary, and normal growth typically resumes within 3-6 months. 1.
