Is postpartum hair loss due to iron deficiency?

Postpartum hair loss is not largely related to iron deficiency. It is mainly due to significant hormonal changes in postpartum women. A drop in estrogen levels causes hair follicles to enter the shedding phase. Moreover, the mental stress associated with postpartum life, combined with the fatigue of caring for a baby, can exacerbate hair loss. The most severe period of hair loss occurs 3 to 4 months after delivery, and generally, by 6 to 12 months postpartum, the condition tends to improve and usually does not require special treatment. In daily life, it is beneficial to consume foods rich in protein and vitamins to help improve this condition. In cases of severe hair loss, medication can also be taken under the guidance of a doctor.

Can Poria cure hair loss?

Poria cocos (Fu Ling) is actually not very effective in treating hair loss because it primarily helps to expel dampness from the body, though it can provide some improvement and regulation. Therefore, if hair loss occurs, it is still necessary to promptly identify the underlying cause to better address the issue. Poria cocos is mainly used for its dampness-expelling properties, and the causes of hair loss can vary greatly, such as calcium deficiency, kidney deficiency, and bodily coldness, among others. If the hair loss is caused by bodily coldness, consuming Poria cocos can indeed have a beneficial effect. Additionally, eating foods like black sesame seeds or walnuts can also have a preventative effect against hair loss.

Why does kidney qi deficiency cause hair loss?

Hair loss caused by insufficient kidney qi is mostly due to poor digestion in the gastrointestinal tract, which means nutrients cannot keep up, leading to hair loss. To address kidney qi deficiency, you can consume foods like dates, brown sugar, adzuki beans, Chinese yam, and coix seed in your regular diet. These can effectively help replenish kidney qi and improve symptoms. Additionally, consuming more leeks, spring onions, or taking medication that supplements kidney qi can effectively treat the condition. It is also important to rest more, avoid frequent masturbation, and not engage in excessive sexual activity to avoid aggravating the condition. Most importantly, avoid staying up late.

What are the reasons for frequent urination and hair loss in women?

Common causes of frequent urination and hair loss in women are as follows: First, frequent urination in women can be seen in normal physiological conditions, but it could also be caused by pathological changes. A normal physiological occurrence generally happens when there is excessive water intake over a short period, leading to frequent urination. Pathological frequent urination is commonly caused by diseases such as ureteral stones, cystitis, and urethritis. These conditions can stimulate the bladder or urethral mucosa, causing symptoms like frequent urination, urgency, and painful urination. Patients will urinate frequently, but the volume of urine each time is not large, and there may be a stinging or burning sensation in the urethra during urination. Second, hair loss in women may occur due to long-term lack of sleep and other poor lifestyle habits, such as smoking and excessive drinking.
