Hair loss caused by kidney yin deficiency can be regenerated. Kidney yin deficiency mainly refers to the insufficient manifestation of kidney fluids, and so it can be treated by nourishing the kidney yin. To nourish kidney yin in daily life, one should eat more foods that enrich kidney yin, or take some medicines that bolster kidney yin for conditioning. You can choose an over-the-counter medicine like Liuwei Dihuang Pills, but it needs to be taken consistently for a period before effectively improving the symptoms of hair loss. In daily life, you can also eat more softshell turtle, blackfish, etc., which also helps to improve the state of kidney yin deficiency. (Specific medications should be taken under the guidance of a physician.)

Postpartum hair loss starts from when?

Postpartum hair loss generally occurs around two to three months after childbirth and usually stops on its own within six months, typically not lasting longer than one year. Postpartum hair loss is actually a resting state of the scalp for the mother, and is a physiological phenomenon. There are various reasons for postpartum hair loss, such as insufficient sleep during pregnancy, significant blood loss and anemia during childbirth, and inadequate nutrition during pregnancy. Additionally, hormonal changes during the postpartum period and breastfeeding can also cause hair loss. It is important not to be overly anxious about postpartum hair loss. Paying attention to nutrition and ensuring adequate sleep can help alleviate the condition on its own.

Is scanty menstruation a cause of hair loss?

There are many causes of hair loss, such as genetic factors. If parents experience hair loss, their children are relatively more likely to experience it as well, especially as they age. Additionally, factors related to the immune system, excessive mental stress or psychological stress, taking certain medications, and autoimmune diseases, among others, can lead to hair loss. Another cause can be hormonal imbalances; for example, if a woman has a light menstrual flow due to hormonal imbalance, this could be one of the reasons for hair loss. It is advisable to systematically go to a hospital for an examination to follow the medical advice and proper diagnosis of a doctor. If you have further questions, please consult a doctor at the hospital for more information.

Why does premature ovarian failure cause hair loss?

Ovarian premature aging can lead to hair loss. The reason that ovarian premature aging causes hair loss is mainly due to hormonal changes resulting from the decline in ovarian function, which leads to significant changes in both skin and hair.

What is the reason for severe hair loss after childbirth?

Postpartum hair loss is severe and is mostly associated with deficiency in both Qi and blood after childbirth. Some patients experience this due to lack of vitamins, trace elements, or changes in endocrine function. If hair loss is severe and persistent without good treatment results, it is recommended to visit a formal hospital to initially check for a complete blood count to see if there is any anemia and to check for trace elements deficiencies. If these conditions exist, it is advisable to take medications that supplement blood, vitamins, and trace elements according to the symptoms. Additionally, some patients may experience symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and back pain. For these symptoms, visiting a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and using herbal medicine for a long-term treatment can be effective. Regularly regulate your diet and lifestyle habits, try to avoid eating foods with heavy flavors, ensure good rest, and avoid staying up late.
