Doctor Yu's Clinical Notes XVI: This is How We Damage Our Own Hair | 我们都错了，原来这些习惯对头发危害如此大！
In my clinic, almost half of the patients are here for hair loss. The other half usually have other problems such as herniated discs, sciatica, neck pain, and arthritis. There are more hair loss patients than patients of any other problems because the treatment of hair loss is usually longer and requires more sessions. In contrast, the other patients usually can be healed much more quickly.
According to my observation in the practice, the hair loss patients have some common problems. In my opinion these problems are very important and I would like to share with everyone.
The first problem is the stress. Most hair loss patients start to have the problem when they are in a stage of stress in their lives. The stress can be a sudden event, and it may last exceptionally long.
The second is anxiety. Anxiety usually appears when the hair starts falling, and it becomes worse if one starts worrying that their hair may become worse.
The third is lack of sleep. Many hair loss patients sleep really late. In my practice I have found that most of them sleep after 11pm, some may stay up to 12pm, and some even do not sleep until 2 or 3 am.
The fourth is fatigue, which is cause by either lack of sleep or being physically weak.
All the four problems interact with each other, and make situation worse quickly. For example, if one looks at the computer or cell phone for too long, fatigue and neck pain may appear. This may lead to lack of sleep, which would leave one lack of energy in the day time. Lack of energy may in turn worsen the stress, and cause anxiety. Anxiety will further impact the lack of sleep, and make other parts of the body uncomfortable----and therefore, hair loss is indeed just one syndrome in the whole problem.
Dear friends, if you think these are correct, please start doing something for your hair as soon as possible.
脱发病人在我的门诊病人中已经接近一半了，另外的一半多的腰椎间盘突出，坐骨神经痛，颈椎病，关节炎病人。因为脱发病人持续治疗较长，治疗次数频繁，因此这些病人占的比重较大。其他的病人人数较多，但治疗时间都较短。
在我的临床观察中，脱发病人都有几个特点，我觉得值得注意，现在跟大家分享。
第一个就是压力。病人刚开始脱发的时候，大多处于人生中较大压力的时期，这个压力可能是突然来到，并且持续可以很长。
第二个就是焦虑：随着脱发的发展，焦虑随之产生。担心头发是否会更糟糕。
第三个特点是晚睡觉：很多脱发的人睡觉很晚，根据我临床经验，超过11点后入睡的人为数不少，有很多人在12点以后，凌晨2到3点才入睡。
第四个特点，就是身体疲乏。由于睡眠不足，或者是体虚而产生的疲乏。
在以上这些特点中我发现，各个特点之间相互作用，相互加重。如看电脑或手机太久就引起疲乏，颈椎痛。如睡觉很晚就常常会夜间多梦，白天的精力则不足。精力不足又引起不能承受过多的精神压力，从而出现焦虑现象。焦虑又会再影响睡眠质量，加重身体其他的不适。脱发只是其中的一个伴随病症而已。
各位脱发的朋友，如果您认为这有些道理，那么就从今天开始，为您的头发做点儿什么吧！
