Hair loss due to kidney deficiency, which has been occurring for half a year, generally only requires timely improvement of kidney deficiency. Additionally, in daily diet, consuming more walnuts, black sesame seeds, and black soybeans can effectively help alleviate the condition, and some patients may experience hair regrowth. Moreover, it is important to avoid consuming overly spicy and stimulating foods, as excessive intake can increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, leading to functional disorders in the body, which can exacerbate the condition. It is recommended to pay more attention to rest and avoid frequently staying up late.

Can postpartum hair loss grow back?

Postpartum hair loss can occur but it typically grows back. This type of hair loss is mainly due to the decline in estrogen and progesterone levels in women after childbirth, which causes the hair follicles to lose some nourishment, leading to hair loss. Additionally, the stress, fatigue, and emotional instability that often follow childbirth can also contribute to postpartum hair loss. Generally, postpartum hair loss stops about six months after childbirth. Through proper postpartum care, getting adequate rest, improving nutrition, and maintaining a good mood, the hair generally grows back quickly.

What causes severe hair loss?

There are many reasons for severe hair loss, the most common being due to excessive work stress, extreme anxiety, tension, and depression, which can lead to severe hair loss. Additionally, some women experience significant hair loss after childbirth, as women's hair is very sensitive. Typically, about six months after giving birth, hair loss may start to decrease gradually. Another condition that causes severe hair loss is related to certain diseases, such as hereditary androgenic alopecia, which can also lead to significant hair loss. Furthermore, frequent hair perming, dyeing, straightening, and other actions that damage hair quality can also lead to severe hair loss. Nutritional deficiencies and lack of vitamins can also cause this problem.

Is it useful to take calcium tablets for postpartum hair loss?

Eating calcium tablets is useful for postpartum hair loss. A lack of calcium can also cause hair loss, and calcium tablets can effectively provide the calcium needed by the body. 99% of the calcium in the human body is found in teeth and bones, and if not paid attention to, calcium deficiency is not the main cause of hair loss. Clinically, it is mainly caused by changes in hormone levels in the body and some emotional and psychological factors. Therefore, taking calcium tablets is useful for postpartum hair loss, but it is necessary to identify some related factors causing the hair loss. It's important to maintain a good mood, strengthen nutrition, massage the scalp with a wooden comb, or rhythmically tap the head to promote blood circulation in the scalp.

How long will it take for hair follicles to necrose after hair loss?

Hair loss for about half a year can lead to the death of hair follicles. The death of hair follicles is usually caused by folliculitis, which is due to damage or blockage of the follicles, leading to redness, itching, and pain in the center of the follicle, appearance of papules and pustules, and in severe cases, ruptured pustules that crust over and form permanent skin damage, such as scars and hair loss. Therefore, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly upon signs of folliculitis. Diagnosis can be confirmed through physical skin examinations, laboratory tests, and pus examination. Timely treatment usually involves the application of topical antibiotics like Mupirocin ointment, topical corticosteroids such as Budesonide ointment, and for patients with poor response to topical medication, ultraviolet light treatment of the infected area may be chosen. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)

Postpartum hair loss is related to what?

Postpartum hair loss is related to changes in hormone levels in women after childbirth. After giving birth, the level of estrogen in the body decreases, causing the hair that was in the growth phase before childbirth to enter the resting phase, and it will begin to fall out after a certain period. Generally, hair loss starts three to five months postpartum and gradually becomes a concern. Additionally, psychological factors can also cause hair loss. For example, mothers may experience mental stress and constant worry, which can affect the quality or quantity of hair. Nutritional deficiencies can also lead to insufficient nourishment for the hair, causing hair loss.
