Which vitamin is lacking in hair loss?

Hair loss is a disease caused by a combination of factors, most of which relate to reduced immunity, frequent staying up late, anxiety, tension, or deficiencies in vitamins, trace elements, and anemia. In some cases, excessive secretion by sebaceous glands can also be a contributing factor. It is not necessarily caused solely by a lack of vitamins or trace elements. If you really want to determine the cause, you can visit the dermatology department of a regular hospital for a blood test to see what vitamins or trace elements you may be lacking. If the hair loss is not caused by these factors, then treatment should address the other underlying causes. The treatment of this disease takes a long time, with at least a three-month course of treatment required. It is essential to persist with the treatment over the long term; otherwise, the effects will not be satisfactory. Moreover, it is advisable to strengthen physical exercise, increase the intake of vegetables and fruits, avoid spicy and stimulating food, and avoid staying up late.

Can postpartum hair loss be recovered?

Postpartum hair loss generally recovers over time. Many young women experience more hair loss after childbirth compared to usual, making the hair appear sparser. This is due to the influence of hormones during pregnancy, which causes many hair follicles to enter a resting phase. After this resting phase, hair loss occurs. This condition is usually more noticeable within six months after childbirth and tends to gradually return to normal from six months to a year postpartum, with most women experiencing a recovery. In daily life, it's important to rest, enhance nutrition, eat fresh vegetables and protein-rich foods, and improve overall immunity. It is also important to check for and correct any anemia.

What should one eat if they have severe hair loss after childbirth?

Postpartum hair loss is also related to nutritional factors in women. In daily life, it is recommended to eat more nutritious foods, such as those rich in iron, including soybeans, black beans, eggs, lean meat, milk, chicken, fish, and fresh vegetables and fruits like pineapple and carrots, which can supplement iron. Additionally, it is important to supplement protein with foods like black sesame and corn, which contain some methionine, potentially slowing down hair loss. It is also necessary to ensure adequate iodine intake, found in seafood like seaweed, oysters, and kelp. Furthermore, consuming vitamin E-rich foods such as black sesame, leafy greens, and lettuce can help prevent hair loss and combat hair aging.

Is postpartum hair loss related to breastfeeding?

Postpartum hair loss is a normal physiological phenomenon and is unrelated to breastfeeding. It is mainly due to psychological factors, lifestyle, and physiological changes after childbirth. During pregnancy, the level of hormones in the body, particularly estrogen, is relatively high, which can make the scalp the healthiest it has been in one's life. However, after the birth of the child, estrogen levels decrease. This imbalance leads to the shrinking of the skin's hair follicles, resulting in hair loss. In treatment, dietary adjustments are primarily used, such as consuming more protein-rich foods like eggs, milk, walnuts, black rice, and sunflower seeds. Additionally, it is important to have a balanced diet with plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins, ensure adequate sleep, and maintain a relaxed mood. Managing these aspects of daily life can also help alleviate hair loss.

Is night sweats and hair loss due to kidney yin deficiency?

In Chinese medicine, night sweats are considered to be a result of an imbalance between Yin and Yang, with a deficiency in Yin Qi and an excess in Yang Qi. This deficiency in Yin leads to internal heat, which causes the leakage of body fluids, manifesting as excessive sweating during sleep. Hair loss can have many causes, including physiological hair loss, aging-related hair loss, and hereditary hair loss, so it is not necessarily due to a deficiency in kidney Yin. However, if a person experiences both night sweats and hair loss, it is possible to first consider the presence of a kidney Yin deficiency causing these symptoms.
