Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 HI Meera, If you are post-op...anywhere from 2-6 mths this is normal and fear not! If you are pre-op not so sure, ask your Dr. Ok, but here's the scoop....the anesthia allows your body to go deep into relaxiation and while your hair normally cycles sporadically this cuts off the growing cycle all at once, so you experience more loss than normal...but it should start right up again. I have had this for my past 2 surgeries and had no probs getting back to normal. They say it's normally at 4-6 mths, but I happpen to go more around 2 mths?! and like you it's always in the shower when that hand full makes you go holy cow that the heck is going on?! So relax...you may want to just try and avoid extra stresses on your hair like tight pony tails and allow for some ease while your body cycles...but again, all should be fine and the only person who will probably notice will be you. Keep us informed as to how you're doing! JO > > Hey > I don't have sevear hair loss, but alot of my hair is falling out > when I wash it.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Dear Meera, Sorry to hear about your hair loss. A few years ago I started losing my hair (I'm 31 now). I went to a dermatologist and he diagnosed sebhorric dermatitis. I bought a shampoo called Nizoral and it really helped. I stopped shedding hair so profusely and the rest of my hair seemed thicker. I bought it on the Internet but I think you can find it in drugstores in America. Hope this information helps. I am having surgery in one week and I definitely plan to take my bottle with me to the hospital. (I'll be in the hospital for 2 weeks). Lots of luck to you! > > Hey > I don't have sevear hair loss, but alot of my hair is falling out > when I wash it.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 This topic was discussed not too long ago, and someone suggested that it can happen as a result of stress. Even had a name for it, that started with an M I think, but danged if I can remember what the name was. If you do an archive search on " hair " you might be able to find it, but you'll have to go back in time, maybe six months or a year.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Hey Thanks for the info, yea i think its due to that. It has been almost a month now from my operation. I am drooling much less. My face is still swollen. I am eating blended foods. Not too bad. But the first week after the operation was the worst for me! It had to be longest week of my life! Anewas thats about it. Thanks for the Info Jo. -Meera > > > > Hey > > I don't have sevear hair loss, but alot of my hair is falling out > > when I wash it.
