Causes of alopecia areata in women

1. High fever

High fever can also damage the hair root tissue and cause a lot of hair to fall out. Especially if the high fever persists, the damage to the hair roots will be more severe, but it will return to normal after about 6 months.

2. Postpartum

Because a large amount of female hormones are secreted by the body during pregnancy, the hair has sufficient growth hormones. However, after delivery, due to the sudden decrease in hormone secretion, the hair will naturally fall out in large quantities. However, this phenomenon will return to normal about 6 months after delivery.

3. Diet

Dieting causes the hair to lack sufficient nutritional supplements. If the hair lacks iron intake, it will become dry and dull. The end result will inevitably lead to a lot of hair loss. Therefore, you must have a balanced nutrition and don't blindly diet to lose weight.

4. Pressure

The accelerated pace of life and fierce competition in modern society put people under too much pressure. According to research, stress is closely related to hair loss. It also accelerates aging and increases wrinkles, so you need to relax yourself completely.

5. Perming and dyeing hair too frequently

Frequent perming, bleaching and dyeing can damage your hair and cause it to fall out. If you don’t want to have alopecia areata, don’t perm your hair too frequently or abuse hair dyes.

6. Contraceptive pills

Women who take birth control pills for a long time may also experience hair loss, but the symptoms may disappear once they stop taking them.

7. Disease Impact

Certain diseases or congenital diseases, excessive secretion of sebaceous glands or changes in the nature of sebaceous gland secretion can cause hair loss.

8. Hairstyle influence

Tight ponytails, braids and pigtails, as well as curling ties that hold your hair tightly together, can damage your hair roots over time and cause hair loss.

Three-step treatment method for preventing and treating alopecia areata

The diet should be diversified to overcome and correct the bad habit of picky eating. Patients with insufficient essence and blood should eat more protein-containing foods that replenish essence and blood, such as sea cucumbers, walnut kernels, etc.

2. Lifestyle adjustment
