Does Dengue Fever Cause Hair Loss? Understand the Connection and Treatment

Going through dengue is a stressing affair, and recovering from it is quite challenging. For many, one of the aftermaths of recovering from dengue is that they start experiencing hair loss. Most often this is linked to the physiological and psychological toll that the illness can have on you. While the hair loss or fall is temporary, if not treated early, it can get worse. Homeopathy offers a natural, holistic approach to treating hair loss post dengue and at Dr. Batra’s®, our personalized treatment plans are natural, safe and are meant to treat each individual based on their specific health conditions and other parameters.

How Does Dengue Fever Lead to Hair Loss?

Dengue impacts people significantly, with the fever taking a huge toll on the body. While the body and mind goes through enough during the recovery period, one aftermath of it is hair fall. Both biological and physiological changes can trigger this. 

Reasons for Hair Loss After Dengue:

• High Fever and Scalp Stress: The rise in temperature due to the fever, can weaken the roots of the hair. This could lead to shedding. 
• Nutritional Deficiencies Post-Dengue: Dengue fever results in the body losing essential nutrients that are important to hair health. Loss of nutrients such as iron, biotin and zinc leads to hair fall. 
• Telogen Effluvium: This condition, triggered by physical or emotional stress, pushes a significant percentage of hair into the resting phase, causing noticeable shedding weeks after recovery.
• Weakened Immune System: The body’s struggle to recover post-dengue can affect hair follicle health, delaying regrowth.

Understanding these causes helps in identifying the right treatment to restore hair health effectively.

Signs and Symptoms of Post-Dengue Hair Loss

Here are common indicators that you might be experiencing hair loss after dengue:

• Excessive hair shedding, particularly while combing or washing.
• Noticeable thinning in certain areas of the scalp.
• Weak and brittle hair strands prone to breakage.
• A sudden increase in hair found on pillows or shower drains.
• Slower hair regrowth compared to normal cycles.
