Patient's question:
I am 32 years old and have been experiencing a significant decline in libido, weak ejaculation, hair loss in the central part of my head, and abnormal bowel movements since May. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of hair loss. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that it can be due to weakness of the liver and kidneys, blood deficiency, blood stasis, deficiency of qi and blood, damp-heat, anxiety, insomnia, seborrheic alopecia, poisoning, and so on. It is best to treat according to the specific symptoms. It is recommended to consult an experienced TCM practitioner for syndrome differentiation and herbal treatment. Alternatively, you can take blood-nourishing and hair-growth pills, kidney-nourishing and hair-growth pills, and cysteine tablets, etc.You should also pay attention to nutritional regulation. The main component of hair is collagen, so it is important to supplement high-quality protein, B vitamins, vitamin C, and calcium. Additionally, maintain a positive mood, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and avoid high-fat foods. Ensure adequate sleep. Eat more black sesame seeds, walnuts, black soybeans, polygonum multiflorum (He Shou Wu), goji berries, etc., for treatment.
