Hair Loss Post Surgery

Hi,

Yes, I found that my hair fell out more,  and this was a couple of weeks after surgery. But I remember reading that that was related to having a general anaesthetic. And it was only temporary.

Take care.

I’ve noticed the same. I’m three weeks post surgery. Hopefully it’s as Louise42 says and just temporary .

Hello, general anaesthetic and also illness or trauma (so even shock of diagnosis) can cause temporary hair shedding (known as telegen effluvium) - it usually happens around 6 weeks after the event. Although I didn’t get this from my ops this time I had it about 10 years ago after a day op for something else. It has been common after covid so hairdressers are generally clued up and good at managing this. 
Hope it eases up soon xx

Thanks all.

Good to know that it's temporary and will settle down.
