When experiencing hair loss due to kidney deficiency, it is indeed possible for the hair to become softer. It is suggested to always timely adjust your routine. Firstly, you can eat more leeks, Chinese yam, black sesame seeds, and black beans, which help to replenish kidney deficiency and can also help alleviate the symptoms of hair loss. It is best to engage in more physical exercises, which can effectively increase the body's resistance and can be greatly improved. It is important to avoid staying up late, as frequent late nights can increase the burden on the body and worsen the condition.

Is hair greasy with kidney deficiency type hair loss?

Hair loss caused by kidney deficiency often presents with oily hair because during the hair loss process, problems occur in the subcutaneous hair follicles, causing the hair to become dry or necrotic. As a result, the hair does not grow well. It is recommended to use a suitable shampoo and wash the hair regularly to help improve the condition. Goji berries boiled in water can be applied to the hair to effectively prevent hair loss. Drinking tea made from these berries, or regularly consuming nuts like walnuts, almonds, and pine nuts, can also be very beneficial for the hair.

How long will it take for hair follicles to necrose after hair loss?

Hair loss for about half a year can lead to the death of hair follicles. The death of hair follicles is usually caused by folliculitis, which is due to damage or blockage of the follicles, leading to redness, itching, and pain in the center of the follicle, appearance of papules and pustules, and in severe cases, ruptured pustules that crust over and form permanent skin damage, such as scars and hair loss. Therefore, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly upon signs of folliculitis. Diagnosis can be confirmed through physical skin examinations, laboratory tests, and pus examination. Timely treatment usually involves the application of topical antibiotics like Mupirocin ointment, topical corticosteroids such as Budesonide ointment, and for patients with poor response to topical medication, ultraviolet light treatment of the infected area may be chosen. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)

What to do about hair loss during menopause?

Hair loss during menopause requires attention to nutrition. It is important to consume protein-rich foods to ensure hair nourishment. Additionally, consuming B vitamins like vitamin B2, B6, and B12 can help reduce oiliness and follicle clogging in the hair. It is also important to enhance iron absorption and metabolic nutrition to avoid damage to hair follicles and hair itself. Proper hair care is crucial: maintain cleanliness and protect the scalp, and avoid frequent hair perming and dyeing that could damage the hair. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can also be used to target treatment based on differential diagnosis, including taking specific pre-prepared TCM formulas like nourishing blood and generating essence capsules. When going outdoors, it is also important to protect against sun exposure to prevent hair damage and reduce hair loss. Moreover, it is beneficial to maintain a positive mood, regularly massage the scalp, and avoid staying up late.

Is postpartum hair loss due to iron deficiency?

Postpartum hair loss is not largely related to iron deficiency. It is mainly due to significant hormonal changes in postpartum women. A drop in estrogen levels causes hair follicles to enter the shedding phase. Moreover, the mental stress associated with postpartum life, combined with the fatigue of caring for a baby, can exacerbate hair loss. The most severe period of hair loss occurs 3 to 4 months after delivery, and generally, by 6 to 12 months postpartum, the condition tends to improve and usually does not require special treatment. In daily life, it is beneficial to consume foods rich in protein and vitamins to help improve this condition. In cases of severe hair loss, medication can also be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
