Hair shedding after pregnancy in North Dakota

9,634 babies were born to residents of North Dakota in 2024, about 26 a day. At 12.1 per 1,000 residents, the birth rate was the 5th-highest (tied) of 51. The fertility rate was 60.4 births per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44, the 4th-highest of 51. Birth rates in its nearest states: South Dakota 12.4, Minnesota 10.7, Nebraska 12.4 and Iowa 11.2.[NCHS]

Shedding after a baby is common. Dermatologists call it telogen effluvium: it tends to peak around four months after birth and is temporary, and for most women hair is back to its usual fullness by the child’s first birthday, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.[1]

Two rules come first: no finasteride or spironolactone for anyone pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, and no minoxidil tablets while breastfeeding. If thinning lasts past the baby’s first year, or your part keeps widening, a physician can check for female pattern hair loss. Once you are no longer breastfeeding, a physician may consider oral minoxidil, spironolactone, or a prescription scalp spray made without finasteride (compounded, not FDA-approved).[2][3][4]

Dermatologist access in North Dakota: below average

North Dakota has fewer dermatology providers per resident than the country as a whole: 39 in the NPI registry, or 5.0 per 100,000 residents, 10% under the national 5.5. It ranks 29th of the 50 states and DC. Each one serves, on average, about 20,000 people. Matching the national rate would take about 43 providers for 779,361 residents, 4 more than North Dakota has.[NPI][ACS]

About 50% practice in the Fargo area, the largest metro; the other 50% are spread across the rest of North Dakota.[OMB][NPI]

Two of North Dakota's four nearest states have more dermatology providers per resident (per 100,000: South Dakota 6.6, Minnesota 6.7, Nebraska 4.3 and Iowa 3.8).[NPI][ACS]

Against the three states closest to it in population (Alaska: 733,971 residents, 4.0 per 100,000; the District of Columbia: 672,079 residents, 12.6 per 100,000; South Dakota: 899,194 residents, 6.6 per 100,000), North Dakota has more providers per resident than one of them.[NPI][ACS]

For people who live well outside the Fargo area, an online visit means no drive to a dermatology office for pattern hair loss. In-person dermatology remains the place for sudden or patchy loss and for a sore, red or scaly scalp.

These are dermatology providers registered in the NPI registry as of October 23, 2026, counted where they practice. Physician assistants, nurse practitioners and dermatopathologists are left out, some listed providers no longer see patients, and the rates divide by ACS 2019–2023 population.

North Dakota by age: the years hair loss is common

Of North Dakota's 779,361 residents, 154,813 are men aged 25 to 54, 38.8% of the state's men (39.7% nationally). In its nearest states the share is South Dakota 36.7%, Minnesota 39.0%, Nebraska 37.8% and Iowa 37.2%.[ACS]

There are 103,930 women aged 40 to 64 here, 27.3% of all women in North Dakota (31.5% nationally). The American Academy of Dermatology says female pattern hair loss usually begins in a woman’s 40s, 50s or 60s, and is more common after menopause. In its nearest states, women 40 to 64 are South Dakota 29.3%, Minnesota 31.0%, Nebraska 29.3% and Iowa 30.0% 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]
