Baldness can occur at any age from infancy to old age, but is more common in middle-aged people, with no significant gender differences. There are no conscious symptoms of baldness, and in a few cases, there may be a mild abnormal sensation in the affected area at the beginning of the disease. Patients are often unaware of it, and it is discovered during haircuts or by others. What are the causes of hair loss, and here is a specific look at them.
The common causes of baldness: 1, lack of qi and blood: “Hair is the remainder of blood”. If there is a deficiency of innate endowment or a serious or prolonged illness, or after childbirth, too much qi and blood is depleted.
2. Stasis blocking the hair orifice: Stasis of blood is both a pathological product and a causative factor.
3.Blood heat generates wind: deficiency in endowment or usual addiction to hot and spicy products, or depression due to emotion, fire, depletion of Yin and blood, blood heat generates wind, wind heat runs up to the top with the gas, wind and blood dryness, hair root does not get the moistening of Yin and blood and sudden baldness occurs.
4. Liver and kidney deficiency: internal injury to the liver due to depression and irritation, resulting in blockage of qi and obstruction of blood flow. The liver is the organ of wind and wood, and is nourished by kidney water. The kidney is the master of essence, and the liver collects blood.
Symptoms of baldness: 1. It starts as one or several clearly bounded circular or oval hair loss areas, and the straight play is about 1 to 2 cm larger. At the edge of the area, there is often some loose and easily detached hair, some of which is broken, and the hair at the proximal end is often atrophied. If the hair is plucked out, you can see that the hair is thick and thin like an exclamation point, and the lower part of the hair pigment is also lost.
2. Subsequently, the hair loss phenomenon continues to increase, and each piece also expands and can fuse with each other to form an irregular shape. If it continues to progress, it can be completely bald. In severe cases, eyebrows, eyelashes, axillary hairs, pubic hairs and all body hairs are also lost, which is called general baldness.
3. Hair loss may also stop, at this time the hair loss area no longer expands, and the marginal hairs are also more solid and not easy to pull out, after a number of large, marginal hairs are also more solid and not easy to pull out, after a number of months, the hairs can gradually or rapidly grow out. Some patients also grow white fuzzy hairs first, and then gradually become thicker and darker, grow longer, and become normal hair.
Treatment for baldness: 1. Adequate sleep. Sufficient sleep can promote the normal metabolism of skin and hair, and the metabolic period is mainly at night, especially between 10:00 pm and 2:00 am. Sufficient sleep during this period can make the hair metabolize normally. On the contrary, the metabolism and nutrition of the hair is out of balance will be hair loss.
2, massage the head. Massaging the head can improve the blood circulation of the head, thus preventing baldness. Lightly massaging the head can improve the blood circulation of the scalp, which has a certain effect on preventing baldness. However, high-intensity massaging of the head will cause an increase in DNI, which will induce hair loss instead, and also stimulate the secretion of sebaceous glands, further aggravating hair loss.
3.Avoid damage. Dyeing, perming and blowing will cause some damage to the hair; hair dye, perm solution also has a greater impact on the hair, more times will make the hair lose luster and elasticity, and even become yellow and dry; ultraviolet rays in the sun will cause damage to the hair, making the hair dry and yellow; warm and humid air conditioning and cold wind can become the cause of hair loss and gray hair.
Warm tip: Chinese medicine believes that the liver and spleen are the main emotions, so bad emotions will affect the health of the liver and spleen, and the skin and hair will not be nourished by qi and blood and will easily fall off. So to keep away from baldness, you should also pay attention to relieving stress and moving less fire.
