Actually, hair loss is mainly caused by frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete bladder emptying, which are usually caused by urinary system infections. This situation is more common in female patients due to the characteristics of the female urethral structure and changes in estrogen levels within the body, which make these symptoms more likely to appear.

Additionally, it could also be caused by urinary tract obstruction, which is generally more common in male patients. However, whether male or female, the appearance of symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete bladder emptying can lead to feelings of irritability, depression, and gloominess, hence the occurrence of hair loss. It is recommended to seek examination and treatment at a formal hospital in such cases.

What should I do if I have severe hair loss due to kidney deficiency?

Severe hair loss caused by kidney deficiency should first be treated with medication under the guidance of a qualified physician. Generally, hair loss is mainly considered to be caused by an excess of androgens or an oversensitivity to androgens, resulting in symptoms. This condition is caused by emotional depression leading to 'fire,' so it is essential to promptly clear the meridians. For example, acupuncture can be very effective in conditioning, and eating more walnuts or black sesame in the diet can also help alleviate the symptoms of hair loss.

Where does hair loss from kidney deficiency occur?

Hair loss due to kidney deficiency generally starts from the top of the head. Hair loss caused by kidney deficiency, thinning, and lack of luster in the hair is a chronic symptom. There may also be other symptoms of kidney deficiency. Hair loss from kidney deficiency is more often due to yin deficiency, as the kidneys cannot directly nourish the hair. Replenishing the kidney can promote hair growth and nourishment. Eating more green fruits, vegetables, animal liver, nuts, red beans, soy products, eggs, and dairy can help prevent hair loss.

Will hair regrow after hair loss from scalp ringworm?

Scalp ringworm causes hair loss, and whether hair will regrow depends on the severity and specific type of scalp ringworm. There are generally four types of scalp ringworm: yellow ringworm, white ringworm, black dot ringworm, and kerion. White ringworm is primarily caused by infection from Microsporum canis, Microsporum gypsum, or Trichophyton violaceum. It is common in school-aged children, starting with small clustered papules that quickly expand outward into round or oval shapes covered with gray-white scale. Hair affected by white ringworm protrudes 2-4 millimeters above the scalp before breaking off. This type of ringworm does not destroy the hair follicles, so it does not cause permanent hair loss. After treatment, no scars are left, and hair can regrow in the affected area. Yellow ringworm, commonly known as bald ringworm, affects hair follicles and destroys them, leading to significant permanent hair loss and leaving behind atrophic scars. Hair will not regrow after healing from this type of ringworm. Black dot ringworm is now less common. It directly affects the hair follicles, characterized by hair breaking off shortly after emerging, leaving black dot-like stumps at the follicle openings. As this is a type of fungal infection, the prognosis includes localized hair loss and spot-like atrophic scars; hence, hair will not regrow in these areas. Kerion is a more severe outbreak where honeycomb-like pus pockets are formed at the follicle openings, allowing pus to be expressed. Triggering bacterial infections can also lead to abscesses. This type also destroys hair follicles, resulting in permanent hair loss and scarring, without regrowth of hair.

Can hair transplantation be done for hair loss due to kidney deficiency?

Hair loss caused by kidney deficiency cannot be effectively treated by simply transplanting hair, as the transplanted hair will still fall out. Therefore, this method is not ideal. It is recommended to first treat the kidney deficiency. Effective improvement of hair loss symptoms can be achieved by timely treatment of kidney deficiency. Initially, this can be addressed through diet, by eating foods such as leeks and Chinese yam, which can effectively help nourish the kidney. Additionally, consuming black sesame seeds and walnuts can also help improve symptoms of hair loss.
