Top misconceptions about treating hair loss

  With the development of society and the improvement of people’s standard of living, more and more people are paying attention to their own image and their hair aesthetics. People with hair loss are looking forward to a convenient and fast treatment method. Businessmen see business opportunities here, thus a large number of anti-hair loss, gray hair, hair loss, gray hair treatment advertising of all kinds. Some non-medical institutions, non-medical personnel treatment hair loss chain stores, everywhere in the country, the hair loss patients into a treatment of the wrong area, delaying the most effective early treatment of hair loss.  According to my clinical experience in the treatment of hair loss found that many patients do not know enough about hair treatment, there are great misconceptions, now the common misconceptions are summarized as follows: misconception one, hair loss is kidney deficiency, as long as the kidney supplement on the line.  Correction: kidney deficiency hair loss is only one of the types of Chinese medicine, if not in line with this type of evidence, blind kidney will only aggravate hair loss, but also affect the body.  Misconception two, hair loss is not painful, no need to go to the hospital to buy some “anti-loss shampoo”, “anti-loss” topical medicine on the line.  Correction: hair loss is an external manifestation of the body’s internal disorder, no shampoo or topical medicine can adjust the internal disorder, so it is ineffective to use alone.  Misconception three, looking for partial, single, secret prescriptions.  Correction: Chinese medicine treatment of hair loss is dialectical treatment, each type of evidence prescription is different, do not blindly follow.  Misconception four, hair loss should not be treated, wait until a certain time and you will be fine.  Correction: most diseases have an autoimmunity in a few people, hair loss is the same, there are 5% of patients with hair loss can heal themselves without treatment. This is the reason why some people grow out of hair loss without treatment, some with a little vitamin, some with a little topical medicine also cured.  Misconception five, not to go to the hospital to see a doctor, follow the prescription of others to see a doctor with medicine.  Correction: the symptoms of hair loss are the same for everyone, everyone’s body constitution is different, which is why Chinese medicine is divided into many types of evidence of hair loss, so the medicine used by others is not necessarily suitable for you.  Misconception six, hair loss is caused by head oil, as long as the control of hair oil will not lose hair.  Correction: young and strong is the most vigorous period of metabolism, head oil and whole body oil are very strong, and hair loss is due to internal disorder, and has nothing to do with the amount of head oil. On the contrary, after heavy atrophy of hair follicles, blood circulation stagnation metabolic level decreases, hair dry hair withered, there is no head oil. There is no correlation between seborrheic alopecia and the amount of head oil, if the treatment of hair loss always removes the head oil, it will lead to the treatment into a misunderstanding. Head oil has the function of protecting the scalp to nourish the hair and is a normal metabolic secretion of the body.  Misconception seven: early do not pay attention to their hair, to the middle and late demand doctors to cure and also demand to be cured immediately, can not be cured is the level of doctors can not.  Correction: early seborrheic alopecia is not found, but not pay attention to think that it is not serious, some simply do not care, think that there is still a lot of hair is not necessary to treat. In the middle and late stages of treatment is to preserve the existing hair, this phase of treatment time is longer, if the mentality is not good to give up the consequences of only 1 is baldness. I once had a young patient with seborrheic alopecia, already in the middle and late stages, came to see me and saw my patients treated for several years hair increased significantly, think that can not be immediately cured and give up treatment, also think that these patients who have improved is not worth spending several years of treatment, this is more typical of mental depression.
