What causes women to lose their eyebrows?

The number of eyebrows varies from person to person and is related to genetic inheritance. Some people with thick eyebrows may have more than a thousand eyebrows, while some with thin eyebrows may have hundreds of eyebrows. This is all normal. However, some people have only dozens of eyebrows or all of them fall off. This is abnormal and often a signal of some diseases.

1. Simon's disease: In a short period of time, eyebrows, hair, armpit hair, pubic hair and body hair become thinner or completely fall out, the whole body becomes thin, the spirit is low, and the expression is cold. Eyebrows are closely related to physical and mental health. According to traditional Chinese medicine, eyebrows belong to the foot-taiyang bladder meridian, which grows and declines with the help of qi and blood of the foot-taiyang meridian.

Therefore, thick eyebrows indicate sufficient kidney essence and a strong body. Thin eyebrows indicate insufficient kidney energy and a weak constitution. In addition, observing the eyebrows can also help diagnose the disease. Patients with hypothyroidism and hypopituitarism usually have drooping eyebrows, which are more obvious on both sides of the eyebrows. For patients with neuroticism, the eyebrows on the numb side are lower, and when one side has ptosis, the eyebrows on the affected side appear higher.

2. Leprosy patients may experience eyebrow loss in the early stages; patients with alopecia areata also have eyebrow loss. Protruding eyebrows are a dangerous sign; frequently frowning eyebrows are the main manifestation of pain. Some ladies would like to have thin and curved eyebrows, but it is common to see people plucking out many "unsatisfactory" eyebrows. Some people even pluck their eyebrows completely and then painstakingly get semi-permanent eyebrow tattoos, which is very harmful to their health.

Note: Eyebrows are not useless. If the eyes are not blocked by eyebrows, sweat and rain will flow directly into the eyes, irritating the cornea and conjunctivitis, causing keratitis and conjunctivitis, and in severe cases, corneal ulcers. Because the eyebrow abduction nerves are rich in blood vessels, if the eyebrows are often plucked, it is easy to cause adverse stimulation to the nerves and blood vessels, causing imbalance in facial muscle movement, resulting in pain, blurred vision or double vision and other symptoms, and may also cause dermatitis and folliculitis.
