Qi deficiency and blood deficiency generally speak, it is blood deficiency that is more likely to cause hair loss, but the two can also coexist. Therefore, whether it is qi deficiency or blood deficiency, it is necessary to regulate promptly. If there is hair loss, one can usually eat some walnuts and black sesame seeds, which can help prevent the symptoms of hair loss. You can also eat more foods that supplement qi and blood, such as donkey-hide gelatin and jujube, which have the function of regulating qi and blood and improving symptoms. If the condition is severe, it is still necessary to take medicines that supplement qi and blood in time to be effectively treated. Most importantly, do not stay up late, as staying up late will aggravate the condition.

Can Grade II hair loss due to kidney deficiency heal itself?

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. If the kidney deficiency is not serious, the hair loss can heal itself. Always pay attention to regular eating habits, rest well, avoid overworking, and do not be too stressed. You can choose traditional Chinese medicine treatments and use medication based on the doctor’s advice to achieve the effect of nourishing the kidneys. Eat more fruits and vegetables, abstain from sexual activity for the time being, and consume foods high in melanin such as black sesame seeds, Polygonum multiflorum, and black beans.

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.

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.

Does high blood lipid cause hair loss?

Hair loss mainly involves the following aspects: the first is seborrheic hair loss, the second is pathological hair loss, the third is chemical hair loss, the fourth is physical hair loss, the fifth is nutritional hair loss, the sixth is obesity-related hair loss, and the seventh is hereditary hair loss. Among these seven types, the first, seborrheic hair loss, generally features thick oily secretions on the scalp, with hair being shiny, sparse, and fine. Another type is obesity-related hair loss, where a large amount of saturated fatty acids metabolized in the body produce waste that clogs hair follicles, leading to hair loss. These two types of hair loss may be somewhat related to blood lipids, but there isn’t a direct relationship; it could potentially exacerbate the condition. Under these circumstances, reducing the intake of greasy foods and opting for a light diet can lead to certain improvements. Additionally, high blood lipids and poor blood flow can also affect the scalp’s blood circulation, which might have an impact, but again, there isn't a direct relationship, meaning high blood lipids don’t necessarily cause hair loss.

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.
