To determine whether there are effective treatments for postpartum alopecia.
Clinical literature identified through MEDLINE (January 1966-May 2000), EMBASE (June 1980-March 2000), and International Pharmaceutical Abstracts (January 1970-March 2000). Key search terms included alopecia, puerperium, and postpartum.
Postpartum alopecia is a diffuse shedding of scalp hair that can begin two to five months following parturition. Few articles examine the treatment of this condition. Treatments in the form of thyroid supplementation, topical progesterone and estradiol lotions, and an oral contraceptive have been studied. All available studies on this subject have significant limitations, such as small sample size, absence of a control group, or subjective measurement of treatment response. Nondrug therapy for a related type of hair loss has been recommended and includes education about hair cycles and reassurance to minimize anxiety.
From the available studies, no specific treatment has been studied well enough with sufficient treatment justify recommendation or to be termed effective.
确定产后脱发是否存在有效治疗方法。
通过MEDLINE（1966年1月至2000年5月）、EMBASE（1980年6月至2000年3月）和国际药学文摘（1970年1月至2000年3月）检索到的临床文献。关键检索词包括脱发、产褥期和产后。
产后脱发是指分娩后两到五个月开始出现的头皮弥漫性脱发。很少有文章研究这种病症的治疗方法。已对补充甲状腺素、外用孕酮和雌二醇洗剂以及口服避孕药等治疗方法进行了研究。关于该主题的所有现有研究都有显著局限性，如样本量小、缺乏对照组或对治疗反应的主观测量。已推荐对一种相关类型脱发的非药物治疗，包括有关头发生长周期的教育以及减轻焦虑的安慰措施。
从现有研究来看，尚无任何特定治疗方法得到充分研究，足以证明其推荐合理性或被称为有效。
