What hair loss patients need to know about “prevention” and “treatment” Every spring and autumn, the number of patients with hair loss gradually increases, mostly anxious patients who come to the clinic complaining of poor sleep and a high number of hair loss recently. With the fast pace of modern society in Shanghai, hair loss is becoming more and more common among young people in their twenties and thirties, and some people have already felt that their hair is becoming thicker and thinner, and their oil secretion is increasing, and some patients have already experienced localized hair loss. So, what exactly is hair loss that needs to be treated? What do we need to pay attention to when we find hair loss? 1, relaxed mood, calm treatment a “look” two “number” three “observation”. “Look” is to determine which kind of hair loss belongs to through self-examination. Although the causes of hair loss are many and complex, but the most common is male seborrheic alopecia. It is mostly seen in young and middle-aged men. This type of hair loss mostly occurs on both sides of the forehead and on the top of the head. Early manifestations are uniform thinning of hair, greasy scalp, increased dandruff, itchy scalp and other discomforts. In the late stage, it becomes baldness. Modern research has shown that excessive secretion of androgens leads to high sebum secretion, blockage of hair papillae and local inflammation is an important cause of hair loss. It may also be related to vitamin deficiency, excessive mental stress, poor sleep quality, and dietary stimulation. If a sudden localized hair loss is found and the scalp is soft in the hair-deficient area, it is considered baldness. To “count” means to count the number. Under normal circumstances, the daily hair loss is about 100 hairs, which is the normal metabolism of the human body, so there is no need to be nervous about a small amount of hair loss. “Observe” means that you need to treat the hair loss situation calmly and without tension. Observe whether the hair loss is progressively aggravated. Occasional hair loss may be caused only by fatigue or physical pulling in the last few days. It is usually relieved by rest. While continuous observation if the number is significantly high and lasts for more than a week will require a visit to a specialist for examination. 2, when the treatment, rejuvenation seborrheic alopecia Chinese medicine is called “insect hair loss”, mostly due to the liver and gallbladder damp heat accumulation, fumigation of the skin on the head. Liver and kidney deficiency, deficiency of qi and blood, and blood deficiency and wind dryness are the main causes of baldness. Therefore the treatment is not the same. Seborrheic alopecia is treated mainly by strengthening the spleen and drying dampness, while baldness is treated mainly by nourishing blood and dispelling wind. The clinician will make appropriate adjustments and additions according to the patient’s bias, for example, adding nightshade vine and helianthus bark for poor sleep; adding white moss bark and tribulus terrestris for severe itching; adding whole melon basket and rhubarb for constipation; adding shouwu and raw earth for dandruff, etc. The combination of drugs customized for each patient, that is, personalized treatment can achieve the best therapeutic effect. 3, prevention is reasonable, half the effort Most people can not prevent hair loss before the real onset (in fact, there is no need to overstress to “prevention” when no hair loss occurs). The prevention mentioned here refers to the process of treatment and how to prevent hair loss again after the end of treatment. This includes getting enough sleep, not staying up late, not smoking and drinking, eating less sweets and fried foods, not using harsh shampoos when washing your hair, being gentle when pressing your hair, not using a hair dryer to blow your hair vigorously, not dyeing your hair, curling your hair, and so on. Of course, you can also use food therapy to supplement the nutrition of the hair. It is recommended to eat more black sesame seeds, mulberry seeds, wolfberries, cassia seeds and other medicinal foods. It is the hope of every hair loss patient to get a beautiful dark hair again. I believe that after fighting for treatment and prevention, we can all do it!
