The diet should be nutritious, focusing on foods that nourish the kidneys, and kidney function can also be timely adjusted by taking traditional Chinese medicine.

Will an oily scalp occur with hair loss due to kidney deficiency?

Hair loss caused by kidney deficiency also results in an oily scalp, as the lack of nutrients in the hair leads to oil secretion. It is essential to adjust one’s condition in a timely manner if kidney deficiency occurs. For minor cases, effective relief can often be achieved through dietary adjustments. In more severe cases, however, timely medication is necessary for effective treatment to prevent the condition from worsening. Regularly consuming foods like Chinese leeks, Chinese yam, and goji berries can help nourish the kidneys. It is also crucial to prioritize rest and avoid staying up late, as frequent lack of sleep can exacerbate physical weakness and worsen the condition.

How to treat itchy scalp and hair loss?

Itchy scalp and hair loss are commonly caused by seborrheic dermatitis. Initially, treatment should aim to control the symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis. Under the guidance of a doctor, oral treatments such as ebastine tablets, ipristine capsules, or levocetirizine hydrochloride tablets may be used. For topical treatment, halcinonide solution can be applied. If there is an excess of oil and dandruff, selenium sulfide can be used for shampooing. By controlling seborrheic dermatitis, significant improvement can be seen in hair loss and scalp itchiness. Another scenario involves scalp itchiness accompanied by hair loss, which may be caused by a fungal infection leading to tinea capitis. Under the guidance of a doctor, ketoconazole shampoo can be used for washing the hair, and terbinafine hydrochloride spray can be applied locally for treatment.

Does kidney deficiency type hair loss cause an itchy scalp?

Hair loss caused by kidney deficiency generally causes an itchy scalp because, during hair loss, the scalp lacks nutrition, leading also to a significant amount of dandruff, which results in itching.

Dietary adjustments, such as including leeks, Chinese yam, and goji berries, can also significantly help in replenishing kidney deficiency and effectively managing the condition.

Can postpartum hair loss grow back?

Postpartum hair loss can occur after childbirth, but hair can regrow after some time. The main reason for postpartum hair loss is the hormonal changes that occur after giving birth. Typically, the hair loss will naturally stop after about six months. It's important to pay attention to enhancing nutrition, eating foods rich in vitamins and trace elements, and ensuring adequate sleep to prevent emotional lows. Additionally, use gentle shampoos and avoid those that are too acidic or too alkaline. It's also crucial to maintain stable emotions and provide careful care for the baby.

Can post-concussion syndrome cause hair loss?

Patients with post-concussion syndrome may experience hair loss, as the main causes of hair loss include endocrine disorders, malnutrition, psychological trauma, reduced vascular function, genetic factors, etc. Among these, genetic factors, psychological trauma, and endocrine disorders are most common. Although there is no clear evidence currently showing a causal relationship between concussion and hair loss, I personally believe that after a concussion, patients often experience symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, chronic anxiety, endocrine disorders, chronic malnutrition, and poor sleep, which might accelerate hair loss to some extent.

What department should I go to for hair loss?

Hair loss can be caused by many reasons. This condition falls under the category of dermatology and can be fully treated in the dermatology department of regular hospitals. The main causes of this disease are often related to a lack of vitamins and trace elements. Some patients suffer from anemia, or frequently experience anxiety, stress, and poor mood leading to hormonal imbalances. Once this disease occurs, it is crucial to identify the causes and treat them accordingly. Generally, it is recommended to consume more vegetables and fruits, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and reduce salt intake. Engaging in regular exercise to boost the immune system, using a massage stick to tap the scalp to promote local blood circulation can also be beneficial for hair growth. It is advisable to avoid staying up late, feeling anxious or stressed to prevent hormonal imbalances.

For second-degree hair loss due to kidney deficiency, it should be determined based on pathology. After the kidney deficiency is cured, the hair can grow back.

You can choose traditional Chinese medicine treatments and use medication based on the doctor’s advice to achieve the effect of nourishing the kidneys.

Will there definitely be hair loss after childbirth?

Postpartum hair loss is not inevitable, and there is a significant individual difference in the occurrence of postpartum hair loss, including the amount of hair loss, the timing, and the degree of hair loss. Some women do not experience hair loss after childbirth. At this time, care is extremely important. Generally, after giving birth, it is important to ensure sufficient sleep, at least 6 to 8 hours per day, and to enhance nutrition by eating foods rich in protein and vitamins. This can also nourish the scalp, making hair loss less noticeable. Additionally, maintaining a healthy emotional state is important, and adjustments to lifestyle should be made according to individual circumstances. Generally, the hair loss is not severe.
