Introduction

In general, hair planting, also known as hair transplantation, usually lasts from 10 to 50 years, although the exact duration may vary depending on individual physical conditions. Common hair transplant methods include follicular unit extraction (FUE), follicular unit transplantation (FUT), micro-needling, and gemstone blade techniques. In daily life, it is important to maintain a light diet and proper local skin care to prevent infection.

Item Name	FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)	FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation)	Micro-Needle	Gemstone Blade
Image Example
Introduction	Extracting follicular units one by one from the back of the head for transplantation	Removing a strip of scalp containing hair follicles for transplantation	Transplanting healthy follicular tissue into targeted areas using micro-needles to create implantation sites	Precisely extracting and implanting hair follicles using a gemstone blade tip
Reference Price	3,000–6,000 RMB per follicular unit	2,000–4,000 RMB per follicular unit	2,000–3,500 RMB per follicular unit	3,000–5,000 RMB per follicular unit
Duration	10–30 years	10–50 years	20–40 years	20–50 years
Advantages	1. Leaves no linear scarring	1. Causes less follicle damage 2. Higher hair density	1. Minimal trauma 2. High-density planting 3. Natural hair growth direction	1. Long-lasting results 2. Minimal invasiveness
Potential Risks	1. May require multiple surgeries 2. Postoperative bleeding and infection 3. Scalp and follicle damage	1. Larger surgical trauma 2. Prone to leave linear scars	1. Risk of infection 2. Short-term swelling	1. Postoperative infection 2. Follicle damage

In daily life, maintain a light diet and proper local skin care to prevent infection. If needed, it is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a qualified physician.

Does Lianhua Qingwen treat allergic asthma?

The core effects of Lianhua Qingwen are clearing away epidemic toxins, detoxification, promoting lung function, and relieving heat. It is primarily used to treat influenza due to heat-toxin attacking the lungs, and is not intended for the treatment of allergic asthma. Allergic asthma results from an abnormal immune response to allergens and requires targeted anti-inflammatory and anti-allergy treatments. Patients with allergic asthma should seek timely evaluation and standardized treatment at a respiratory medicine department.

How many minutes should you hold the thermometer when taking your temperature for a cold?

When taking a body temperature with a thermometer under the armpit (axillary measurement) during a cold, it should be held in place for 5–10 minutes to accurately reflect the true internal body temperature. Axillary temperature measurement is safe and convenient, making it a commonly used method during colds; however, proper technique is essential to avoid inaccurate results. If body temperature remains above 38.5°C, or is accompanied by severe headache or difficulty breathing, prompt medical attention is recommended.

Chest fluid drainage usually takes 3–7 days; most patients complete fluid removal and achieve clinical stability within this period, although the exact duration should be dynamically adjusted based on treatment response. If fever, worsening chest pain, or abnormal drainage fluid occurs during the process, prompt medical evaluation is recommended. The length of drainage primarily depends on the underlying cause of the fluid accumulation.

Does eating onions before taking a nucleic acid test have any effect?

In general, eating onions before a nucleic acid test will not affect the test results. However, consuming excessive amounts or having a sensitive mouth may cause discomfort and interfere with the sampling process. To ensure smooth sample collection, it is recommended to avoid eating heavily within one hour prior to testing, and to avoid irritants such as onions, garlic, chili peppers, alcohol, and chewing gum.

Can I drink water or take medication before a nucleic acid test?

In general, drinking a small amount of water before a nucleic acid test usually does not affect the results, and routine medications can be taken as usual. However, consuming large amounts of water or taking certain special medications might interfere with sample collection or the testing process. To ensure the efficiency and accuracy of the nucleic acid test, it is recommended to avoid drinking large amounts of water, eating, or chewing gum within 30 minutes prior to testing. During sample collection, cooperate with healthcare personnel by tilting your head back and opening your mouth as instructed.

Can I get a nucleic acid test after receiving the HPV 9-valent vaccine?

The function of the nine-valent vaccine is to stimulate the body to produce antibodies against human papillomavirus, thereby preventing related infections. Its components do not cross-react with the target pathogens of nucleic acid testing. Nucleic acid testing detects pathogens by amplifying specific nucleic acid sequences; the vaccine does not interfere with this testing process, nor does it cause false-positive or false-negative results.

How long does it take for nucleic acid test results to come out?

For routine screening of the general population or non-emergency testing, it is recommended to choose regular medical institutions or third-party testing laboratories, where results are typically available within 12 to 24 hours. These facilities handle a large volume of samples, which are processed in batches including sample preparation, extraction, amplification, and result interpretation. The procedure is relatively standardized and comprehensive, resulting in slightly longer turnaround times but ensuring accurate test results.
