Rapid hair loss is often caused by deficiencies in qi and blood, as well as factors such as staying up late. It can be treated with medications or specialized shampoos. Patients are advised to visit a reputable hospital for endocrine evaluation to determine whether an underlying endocrine disorder is present. Daily routines should include regular, balanced meals and consistent, adequate sleep—avoiding late-night hours. Additionally, engaging in moderate physical exercise and consuming an appropriate amount of black sesame seeds may support healthy hair growth.
