Post-surgery hair loss is real, and nearly 30% of people experience it. But anesthesia does not cause it directly.
By WowRx
Anesthesia slows down the cell division in hair follicles, forcing them into a resting phase. It causes a rapid hair fall or Telogen Effluvium.
By WowRx
Telogen Effluvium is triggered by severe stress that often happens during surgery, pregnancy, and diabetes. So, stress is the root cause of hair loss.

There’s a good news! Telogen Effluvium is never so severe as to turn you completely bald. And it’s manageable!

During long surgeries, your head remains in one position intact, leaving the other portion without adequate blood supply- Positional Alopecia.
By WowRx
Seek consultation and use medications, manage stress, eat a healthy diet, and use gentle hair-care products.
By WowRx
Severe stress during surgery is the root cause of hair loss, not the use of Anesthesia. It is temporary but should be managed effectively.
