Whether hair loss can be cured depends on its type, cause, and treatment approach. For hair loss caused by physiological factors such as high mental stress or prolonged late-night activities, hair generally can return to normal growth through adjustments in lifestyle and mindset. For hair loss resulting from causes such as infections or endocrine disorders, symptoms can also be significantly improved through medication treatments, such as spironolactone tablets and minoxidil tincture. For patients with more severe hair loss, surgical treatments such as hair transplantation can also be effective options. However, treating hair loss is a continuous process and varies from person to person. When treating hair loss, an individualized treatment plan must be formulated considering factors such as the underlying cause, disease duration, age, and gender. Maintaining good lifestyle habits and a positive mindset are also important factors in preventing and treating hair loss. Hair loss is not necessarily incurable; the key lies in identifying the appropriate treatment method and persisting with treatment.
