TLDR Postpartum hair loss is common, temporary, and linked to hormonal changes, stress, and nutrition.

O eflúvio telógeno pós-parto (ETPP) é uma condição comum e temporária de queda capilar difusa após o parto, causada por alterações hormonais, nutricionais e emocionais, que pode impactar negativamente a autoestima e o bem-estar das puérperas. A revisão integrativa de estudos publicados entre 2005 e 2025 revelou que o ETPP está principalmente associado à queda hormonal, estresse e deficiências nutricionais. O diagnóstico é essencialmente clínico, e os tratamentos mais comuns incluem reposição nutricional, loções tópicas e suporte psicológico. Apesar de ser autolimitada, a condição tem um impacto emocional significativo, destacando a necessidade de mais estudos e protocolos específicos para a saúde capilar e mental das mulheres no período pós-parto.
