What is the reason for frequent alopecia areata?

Repeated alopecia areata has the law of patients' physical deficiency syndrome! It is suggested that dialectical investigation should be carried out to find out the internal causes of recurrent alopecia areata.

Alopecia areata, commonly known as "ghost shaving", is a sudden localized alopecia with normal scalp and no inflammation and conscious symptoms. If all scalp hair falls off, it is called total baldness, and if all hair falls off, it is called alopecia universalis.

Western medicine believes that the etiology of alopecia areata is complex, and it is a alopecia disease whose etiology and pathogenesis are not completely clear. It is generally believed that it is related to immune dysfunction, mental factors, genetic factors, changes in sex hormones and their receptors, changes in trace elements and microcirculation.

According to traditional medical theory, Chinese medicine believes that the cause of hair loss is clear, and the main cause of hair loss is the kidney. If the liver and kidney are deficient in qi and blood, the blood circulation of the whole body will be weak, and nutrients cannot be delivered to the top of the human body. The hair follicles on the head will not be nourished and gradually shrink, which will cause hair loss. "Kidney stores essence, controls reproduction, and its flowers are in hair" and "hair is in blood removal", which holds that kidney is the innate foundation and hair is the product of blood. Kidney stores essence, liver stores blood, essence and blood are homologous and mutually transformed, which are indispensable. At the same time, the treatment of alopecia in traditional Chinese medicine is also based on these theories. Francis privately believes that alopecia areata is not always a deficiency syndrome. He found that some young patients were strong and had alopecia areata without any deficiency syndrome. Coupled with the stimulation of mental upheaval, many people eat greasy food, drink too much wine, stay up late and overeat, which leads to qi and blood imbalance, so blood deficiency, blood stasis, blood arthralgia and blood heat all cause alopecia areata.

The etiology of western medicine is unknown, and Chinese medicine pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment, and one person has one doctor. Therefore, there are many methods and drugs to treat alopecia areata in China, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, and the course of treatment is long, which shows that there is no specific drug treatment and ideal immediate treatment scheme for alopecia areata at present. Years of practice show that the treatment of alopecia areata should be mainly classified and graded, which can improve the curative effect and shorten the course of disease. In addition, because the etiology of alopecia areata is complex, it is suggested that patients read more popular science articles about alopecia areata, which is helpful to the prevention and treatment of alopecia areata. Statistics show that patients who read more popular science articles about alopecia areata generally have a short treatment cycle and a low probability of using the wrong medicine.
