When I wake up in the morning, touch my head and make sure my hair is in good condition, which is the habitual operation of 39-year-old Mr. Wu (pseudonym).
More than half a year ago, he was tortured by a piece of "ghost shaving head" on his head, and he was extremely anxious.
It wasn't until the doctor's reminder that he suddenly realized that the hair that had been growing for a long time was actually due to mental pressure!
01
A large chunk of hair fell out
I tried all the medicine but it didn't work
Mr. Wu has been doing the interior decoration project contracting business, which is often referred to as the contractor, and he has been doing it for many years.
"In the past few years, the business has not been so good, and sometimes I can't get a single business in one month. Mr. Wu said, "There are all kinds of things to remember in the project, and I often suffer from insomnia." ”
One morning half a year ago, when Mr. Wu woke up, he accidentally found that the back of his head was suddenly bald. After all, it affected his appearance, and he immediately went to the hospital at his doorstep and was diagnosed with alopecia areata.
In order to cure this unsightly alopecia areata, he went to several hospitals, massage, subcutaneous injections, and shampoo changes...... I tried everything I could, but there was no improvement at all, and there was no trace of hair to grow out.
02
A few stitches worked
The hair is finally growing
On the recommendation of a friend, Mr. Wu came to the clinic of Shi Yan, deputy director of the Department of Acupuncture and Tuina, Hangzhou First People's Hospital.
"The main reasons for your alopecia areata are lack of sleep and mental stress. Shi Yan told him, "In addition to cooperating with the treatment, the most important thing is not to stay up late and relax." ”
Through the combination of four diagnoses such as pulse and tongue, Shi Yan believed that Mr. Wu's alopecia areata was liver and kidney insufficiency type alopecia areata, and gave him acupuncture treatment and local peripuncture treatment.
After two months, Mr. Wu's hair in the area of alopecia areata grew and is now no different from the normal hair around him.
03
Stress is common in younger patients
Scalp acupuncture improves scalp health
Shi Yan said that alopecia areata can occur at any age, and young and middle-aged people are the main group of patients. The cause of alopecia areata is not fully understood, in addition to genetic factors, staying up late, tiredness, mood, stress, etc. are all triggers.
Traditional Chinese medicine theories believe that alopecia areata may be related to factors such as poor qi and blood in the body, blockage of meridians, etc. Scalp acupuncture is a method of stimulating local blood circulation and hair follicles by inserting tiny needles into the scalp, which can help improve scalp health and help promote hair regrowth. Moreover, the stimulation of acupuncture can also adjust the function of the immune system, helping to reduce the symptoms of autoimmune alopecia areata.
Acupuncture for alopecia areata is a long-term process. Shi Yan said that after formulating a diagnosis and treatment plan for patients, they often have to put themselves in a good state of mind at the same time, balancing work, study and health.
