Hair shedding after pregnancy in Tennessee

83,833 babies were born to residents of Tennessee in 2024, about 229 a day. At 11.6 per 1,000 residents, the birth rate was the 8th-highest (tied) of 51. The fertility rate was 58.5 births per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44, the 12th-highest of 51. Birth rates in its nearest states: Kentucky 11.5, Alabama 11.2, Georgia 11.3 and Mississippi 11.4.[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 Tennessee: below average

Tennessee has fewer dermatology providers per resident than the country as a whole: 286 in the NPI registry, or 4.1 per 100,000 residents, 26% under the national 5.5. It ranks 35th of the 50 states and DC. That works out to one dermatology provider for about 24,400 residents. Matching the national rate would take about 388 providers for 6,986,082 residents, 102 more than Tennessee has.[NPI][ACS]

About 47% practice in the Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro-Franklin area, the largest metro; the other 53% are spread across the rest of Tennessee.[OMB][NPI]

Tennessee has more dermatology providers per resident than any of its four nearest states (per 100,000: Kentucky 3.7, Alabama 4.0, Georgia 3.9 and Mississippi 3.5).[NPI][ACS]

Against the three states closest to it in population (Massachusetts: 6,992,395 residents, 10.2 per 100,000; Indiana: 6,811,752 residents, 3.7 per 100,000; Arizona: 7,268,175 residents, 5.8 per 100,000), Tennessee has more providers per resident than one of them.[NPI][ACS]

Far from the Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro-Franklin area, a dermatology office may be a longer trip; an online intake for pattern hair loss is the same from any town in Tennessee. For sudden or patchy hair loss, or a sore, red or scaly scalp, see a dermatologist in person.

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.

Tennessee by age: the years hair loss is common

Of Tennessee's 6,986,082 residents, 1,350,740 are men aged 25 to 54, 39.4% of the state's men (39.7% nationally). In its nearest states the share is Kentucky 38.7%, Alabama 37.8%, Georgia 40.1% and Mississippi 37.4%.[ACS]

1,129,989 women are 40 to 64, 31.8% of Tennessee's women and above the national 31.5%: the midlife years when, the American Academy of Dermatology says, female pattern hair loss usually begins. In its nearest states, women 40 to 64 are Kentucky 31.8%, Alabama 31.7%, Georgia 32.1% and Mississippi 31.3% of all women.[5][ACS]

Nationally, androgenetic alopecia affects an estimated 50 million men and 30 million women, and more than half of men over 50 have some hair loss. There is no state count, so this page does not estimate one.[6]
