Does breast cancer cause hair loss in the early stages?

Breast cancer generally does not directly cause hair loss. In some cases, if it is breast cancer, it may cause anxiety, poor rest, and sleep quality, which might lead to relatively noticeable hair loss. However, hair loss associated with breast cancer mainly occurs during chemotherapy, as it is a common side effect of the treatment. Therefore, apart from chemotherapy, the relationship between breast cancer itself and hair loss is not particularly significant. While some people may experience noticeable hair loss, most do not have obvious hair loss.

How to treat night sweats and hair loss?

If night sweats and hair loss occur occasionally, it is mostly considered to be caused by stress, excessive pressure, or covering too many blankets. In such cases, paying more attention to rest and avoiding staying up late can be effective in managing these symptoms. If night sweats and hair loss occur frequently, it may be due to a lack of calcium or trace elements in the body. Consuming more eggs, fish, lean meat, shrimp, and fruits such as oranges, grapefruits, bananas, and apples, as well as vegetables, can greatly supplement the necessary calcium and trace elements for the body, leading to effective management of these conditions.

Can ginger be used for postpartum hair loss?

During postpartum hair loss, ginger can be used to promote hair follicle growth. Ginger contains gingerol, which when applied topically can stimulate blood circulation in the scalp, potentially stimulating hair follicle growth and promoting hair growth. However, be careful not to apply too much pressure during use to avoid scraping the scalp. Besides using ginger, women should also ensure sufficient rest, maintain adequate sleep, adopt good living habits, keep a cheerful mood, and avoid excessive fatigue in their daily lives. If the body is relatively weak, it is best to have family members take care of the baby.

Can postpartum hair loss be recovered?

Postpartum hair loss generally recovers over time. Many young women experience more hair loss after childbirth compared to usual, making the hair appear sparser. This is due to the influence of hormones during pregnancy, which causes many hair follicles to enter a resting phase. After this resting phase, hair loss occurs. This condition is usually more noticeable within six months after childbirth and tends to gradually return to normal from six months to a year postpartum, with most women experiencing a recovery. In daily life, it's important to rest, enhance nutrition, eat fresh vegetables and protein-rich foods, and improve overall immunity. It is also important to check for and correct any anemia.

Is night sweats and hair loss due to kidney yin deficiency?

In Chinese medicine, night sweats are considered to be a result of an imbalance between Yin and Yang, with a deficiency in Yin Qi and an excess in Yang Qi. This deficiency in Yin leads to internal heat, which causes the leakage of body fluids, manifesting as excessive sweating during sleep. Hair loss can have many causes, including physiological hair loss, aging-related hair loss, and hereditary hair loss, so it is not necessarily due to a deficiency in kidney Yin. However, if a person experiences both night sweats and hair loss, it is possible to first consider the presence of a kidney Yin deficiency causing these symptoms.

Is hair greasy with kidney deficiency type hair loss?

Hair loss caused by kidney deficiency often presents with oily hair because during the hair loss process, problems occur in the subcutaneous hair follicles, causing the hair to become dry or necrotic. As a result, the hair does not grow well. It is recommended to use a suitable shampoo and wash the hair regularly to help improve the condition. Goji berries boiled in water can be applied to the hair to effectively prevent hair loss. Drinking tea made from these berries, or regularly consuming nuts like walnuts, almonds, and pine nuts, can also be very beneficial for the hair.
