Hair shedding after pregnancy in Kentucky

52,913 babies were born to residents of Kentucky in 2024, about 145 a day. At 11.5 per 1,000 residents, the birth rate was the 12th-highest (tied) of 51. The fertility rate was 60.3 births per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44, the 5th-highest of 51. Birth rates in its nearest states: Indiana 11.6, Tennessee 11.6, Ohio 10.7 and West Virginia 9.6.[NCHS]

Heavy shedding in the months after a birth is normal, not true hair loss, says the American Academy of Dermatology. It tends to be worst around month four and passes on its own; by the baby’s first birthday most women’s hair is as full as before.[1]

Finasteride and spironolactone are never suggested to anyone who is pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, and minoxidil tablets should not be taken while breastfeeding. When shedding has not settled after a year, or the part is widening, female pattern hair loss may be the cause. A physician can then consider, after breastfeeding, oral minoxidil, spironolactone or a scalp spray made without finasteride (compounded, not FDA-approved).[2][3][4]

Dermatologist access in Kentucky: below average

Kentucky has fewer dermatology providers per resident than the country as a whole: 168 in the NPI registry, or 3.7 per 100,000 residents, 33% under the national 5.5. It ranks 43rd of the 50 states and DC. That works out to one dermatology provider for about 26,800 residents. Matching the national rate would take about 250 providers for 4,510,725 residents, 82 more than Kentucky has.[NPI][ACS]

No single metro holds most of them. Even the largest, Louisville/Jefferson County, has 38%, so dermatology offices are spread across several parts of Kentucky.[OMB][NPI]

Three of Kentucky's four nearest states have more dermatology providers per resident (per 100,000: Indiana 3.7, Tennessee 4.1, Ohio 4.9 and West Virginia 3.2).[NPI][ACS]

Against the three states closest to it in population (Louisiana: 4,621,025 residents, 5.1 per 100,000; Oregon: 4,238,714 residents, 5.9 per 100,000; Oklahoma: 3,995,260 residents, 3.7 per 100,000), Kentucky has more providers per resident than one of them.[NPI][ACS]

An online visit reaches every part of Kentucky the same way. In-person dermatology remains the place for sudden or patchy loss and for a sore, red or scaly scalp.

About the count: dermatology providers registered in the NPI registry (October 23, 2026), by practice location, without dermatopathologists, physician assistants or nurse practitioners. A registry is not a workforce survey, and ACS 2019–2023 population is the denominator.

Kentucky by age: the years hair loss is common

Of Kentucky's 4,510,725 residents, 864,153 are men aged 25 to 54, 38.7% of the state's men (39.7% nationally). In its nearest states the share is Indiana 38.3%, Tennessee 39.4%, Ohio 38.3% and West Virginia 37.4%.[ACS]

Women 40 to 64 number 725,007 in Kentucky, or 31.8% of its women against 31.5% for the US. For most women, says the American Academy of Dermatology, pattern thinning starts in midlife and becomes more common after menopause. In its nearest states, women 40 to 64 are Indiana 30.9%, Tennessee 31.8%, Ohio 31.5% and West Virginia 32.8% of all women.[5][ACS]

Pattern hair loss can start as early as the teens and becomes more likely with age; across the US it affects an estimated 50 million men and 30 million women. There is no count by state, and this page does not guess one.[6]
