Why can't hair loss be cured?

Hair loss is a relatively common medical condition. Generally speaking, it is quite difficult to treat. Some people experience hair loss, and after trying many treatments, they often return to failure. This kind of stubborn hair loss is indeed difficult to satisfy in terms of treatment methods. For example, seborrheic alopecia is a relatively common type of hair loss. In addition to regular treatment, good conditioning is also very important.

Why can't hair loss be cured?

Many people, including doctors, believe that staying up late frequently is the cause of hair loss, but in fact there is no scientific basis for this. In real life, many people only sleep four or five hours a day, and their hair is still very healthy and they don’t lose hair. This is also the reason why many people have enough rest time and go to bed early enough, but their hair loss is still getting more and more serious, because hair loss has nothing to do with staying up late itself, at least it has nothing to do with seborrheic alopecia.

Among the types of hair loss, about 95% are seborrheic alopecia, the clinical characteristics of which include baldness, receding hairline, etc. It is like boiling a frog in warm water, ruining your life unknowingly. The others include alopecia areata and postpartum hair loss, which have a strong time limit. For example, alopecia areata is a coin-sized area of ​​hair loss that suddenly appears on the head within a short period of time, while postpartum hair loss usually occurs 1 to 9 months after giving birth. Staying up late will only cause alopecia areata, but not seborrheic alopecia. For example, the topic that was once hotly discussed on Weibo was "Staying up late playing with mobile phones will make you bald."

This topic occurred in 2014, and more than 35,000 netizens participated in the discussion. Many people said that they stayed up late because of playing with their mobile phones and were seriously worried about their hair. In order to have thick hair, they stopped playing with their mobile phones and staying up late. In fact, alopecia areata is a self-inflicted disease. Staying up late for a long time, long-term stress, mental tension, etc. can all cause alopecia areata. This type of hair loss does not affect the hair follicles, that is, the fallen hair can grow back through self-regulation methods such as improving work and rest schedules.

Therefore, staying up late can cause alopecia areata, but it will not cause baldness. Because alopecia areata will recover on its own, but baldness will not heal itself unless medical methods are used. Therefore, these are two different concepts and many people confuse them.

What to do after hair loss

1. Relax and learn to relieve stress. Many people think that hair loss is a terminal illness, which causes great mental stress. In fact, you only need to know that by using the correct method, you can completely get rid of the trouble of hair loss. With hope, you will have confidence in yourself, feel relaxed, and reduce stress.

2. Use scientific methods to treat hair loss. The reason why many people are frustrated is not because of how much money they spend on treating hair loss, but because they have tried many times and failed, which is a big blow to themselves. But many people ignore the method itself. Hair loss should be treated with medical methods and means, rather than folk remedies, shampoos, etc.

3. Treat hair loss according to local conditions. Different treatment methods are used for different stages of hair loss. In the early stages of hair loss, minoxidil or finasteride tablets can be used for treatment, while in the middle and late stages, hair transplantation can be used for treatment. In addition, drugs have little effect on the receding hairline on the forehead. If it is hair loss caused by scarring, hair transplantation is the only way to recover. Everyone's hair loss situation is different, and the methods required are also different.
