I recently (3 weeks ago) had surgery to correct my scoliosis. Since then, I have been losing a lot of my hair. Is this normal?

Hair loss after surgery can sometimes be caused by significant blood loss leading to a decrease in iron levels, as well as physical or emotional stress. It is important to follow up with your doctor to ensure your iron levels and hemoglobin are back to normal. Once this is resolved, your hair should start to grow back. If you have any other concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider for guidance and support. Take good care of yourself.
