Hair loss caused by anxiety, if mild, generally only requires mood improvement for healing.

Moreover, one must avoid staying up late, as frequently doing so can weaken one's constitution and aggravate the condition. Therefore, it is advisable to include foods like black sesame and walnuts in one’s diet, as they are beneficial for hair conditioning and can significantly improve the situation. Engaging in more physical exercises is also recommended, as it can effectively increase resistance and help alleviate symptoms.

Frequent urination, urgency, incomplete urination, and hair loss, what are the reasons?

Actually, hair loss is mainly caused by frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete bladder emptying, which are usually caused by urinary system infections. This situation is more common in female patients due to the characteristics of the female urethral structure and changes in estrogen levels within the body, which make these symptoms more likely to appear. Additionally, it could also be caused by urinary tract obstruction, which is generally more common in male patients. However, whether male or female, the appearance of symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete bladder emptying can lead to feelings of irritability, depression, and gloominess, hence the occurrence of hair loss. It is recommended to seek examination and treatment at a formal hospital in such cases.

Is postpartum hair loss due to calcium deficiency?

Postpartum hair loss is not largely related to calcium deficiency. The main cause of postpartum hair loss is the rapid decline in estrogen levels in women after giving birth. Normal hair loss involves hairs that are in the catagen (transition) and telogen (resting) phases. Since the hair entering the catagen phase and those entering the growth phase are in a dynamic balance, it is possible to maintain a normal amount of hair. Pathological hair loss is caused by abnormal stimuli, such as high mental stress and hormonal imbalances. When experiencing postpartum hair loss, there is no need to be overly anxious. Generally, this condition gradually improves six months after childbirth. It's important to develop good daily habits, ensure adequate rest, maintain a pleasant mood, and strengthen nutrition.

Can poor kidney function cause hair loss?

Poor kidney function is actually not significantly related to hair loss. Even in severe cases of kidney failure or patients with uremia, most still retain their hair. Not all patients with uremia experience hair loss. Thus, there is not much of a connection between kidney function and hair growth. If a patient is experiencing hair loss, it could be due to issues with the skin or scalp itself, such as male pattern baldness which is related to an excess of androgens in the hair follicles, or factors like allergies or fungal infections could also cause hair loss.
