Hair loss due to kidney deficiency, which has been occurring for half a year, generally only requires timely improvement of kidney deficiency. Additionally, in daily diet, consuming more walnuts, black sesame seeds, and black soybeans can effectively help alleviate the condition, and some patients may experience hair regrowth. Moreover, it is important to avoid consuming overly spicy and stimulating foods, as excessive intake can increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, leading to functional disorders in the body, which can exacerbate the condition. It is recommended to pay more attention to rest and avoid frequently staying up late.

Is postpartum hair loss due to calcium deficiency?

Postpartum hair loss is not largely related to calcium deficiency. The main cause of postpartum hair loss is the rapid decline in estrogen levels in women after giving birth. Normal hair loss involves hairs that are in the catagen (transition) and telogen (resting) phases. Since the hair entering the catagen phase and those entering the growth phase are in a dynamic balance, it is possible to maintain a normal amount of hair. Pathological hair loss is caused by abnormal stimuli, such as high mental stress and hormonal imbalances. When experiencing postpartum hair loss, there is no need to be overly anxious. Generally, this condition gradually improves six months after childbirth. It's important to develop good daily habits, ensure adequate rest, maintain a pleasant mood, and strengthen nutrition.

Can Huang Jing treat white hair and hair loss?

Polygonatum, commonly known as Huang Jing, is somewhat effective in treating white hair and hair loss, but it cannot completely achieve the therapeutic goal. When white hair and hair loss occur, it is first necessary to determine the specific cause to effectively mitigate the issue. Additionally, it is important not to consume irritating foods and to eat more black sesame or walnuts, which can somewhat improve the symptoms of white hair and hair loss. The main causes of white hair and hair loss are usually attributed to frequent staying up late and excessive fatigue, so dietary improvements should also be considered.

How to regulate hair loss due to excessive liver fire?

Patients with hair loss due to excessive liver fire can initially try eating some walnuts and black sesame seeds, as these can effectively help manage the condition.

Do people with kidney-deficiency hair loss need hair transplants?

People with severe hair loss or baldness can choose to have hair transplants based on their individual circumstances; they can either choose to have a hair transplant or not. Having a hair transplant can achieve aesthetic effects. After the transplant, new hair will grow, giving someone a revitalized overall appearance. Hair transplants involve taking hair follicles from the back of the head as the source, separating them into single units, obtaining multiple follicular units, and transferring them to the area that needs the transplant, enabling them to survive and grow, thus addressing the effect of hair thinning in certain areas.

What are the common causes of hair loss?

The most common cause of hair loss is generally related to genetic factors. For instance, if parents experience hair loss, their children are likely to encounter the same issue. Hair loss can also be associated with hormonal imbalances; an excessive secretion of male hormones can lead to hair loss. It is related to infection factors as well, such as infection with Malassezia bacteria on the scalp, which can cause erythema and papules on the head, and significant hair loss with dandruff. Psychological factors also play a significant role in hair loss. Excessive mental stress, anxiety, and poor sleep can lead to the release of stress-related substances by the body, causing the hair follicle growth cycle to shorten and leading to hair loss. Therefore, it is advisable to visit a dermatology department at a reputable hospital for a timely examination to identify the specific causes and undergo treatment under a doctor's guidance with appropriate medications.
