Rapid weight loss due to nutritional imbalance and hair loss
In an interview, Dr. Li Guangji pointed out that the woman did not eat and only drank vegetable juice to lose weight. She drank it whenever she was hungry, and lost 36 pounds in two months. Two months later, she started to experience hair loss, losing more than 100 hairs a day. After 1 month, she consulted a Chinese medicine practitioner.
Dr. Li said that at the first consultation, she found that her hair volume had decreased by 1/4, her hair had lost its elasticity, and it was relatively greasy, which belonged to “diffuse alopecia”. In addition to hair loss, she also has a cough and a lack of air in her lungs. After receiving Chinese medicine treatment for 2 months, taking Chinese medicine, the amount of hair loss was significantly reduced. After that, she took another month’s amount of medicine to consolidate, and the hair volume has now returned to normal.
Losing more than 100 hairs a day is considered hair loss
Dr. Li explained that if 10,000 hairs are ready to fall out within three months, that is 111 hairs per day. Congenital genetic factors, as well as acquired stress, lifestyle habits, and dietary imbalances can also lead to hair loss. In women, hormones are first produced androgen, and then converted into estrogen by enzymes; when the enzymes are insufficient, hair loss will occur. Stress, postpartum, menopause, etc. are common reasons, and some people lose weight too much, which can also lead to hormonal imbalance and hair loss.
