  Following the "new crown sequelae" such as cough, insomnia, and brain fog, hair loss also occupied a place on the list.

Expert: Over 30% of "Yangkang" suffer from hair loss


  
After the Spring Festival or the peak period of hair loss


  According to Qianjiang Evening News, on January 6, the reporter interviewed Dai Yeqin, chief physician of the hair loss department of Hangzhou Third People's Hospital.
  Dai Yeqin introduced that it is normal for a person to lose less than 100 hairs a day. "If you don't wash your hair for many days, all the hair that should fall will be concentrated together, and you will feel a lot of hair loss." But this is not true hair loss.
  And many netizens feel that hair loss is serious after becoming positive. Dai Yeqin believes that "hair loss is one of the complications after infection." She explained that after being infected with the new crown, the virus may cause an inflammatory reaction around the hair follicles, coupled with high fever, poor rest, and mental stress, all of which will accelerate and intensify hair loss .
  In other words, "Yangkang" people may indeed suffer from resting hair loss .
  As we all know, hair follicles are cyclical, and more than 90% of the hair follicles on the head are in a growing state, and they will not fall off at this time. But when it enters the renewal, it will be in a resting period that lasts for 2 to 3 months, then sheds, and then enters the next growth cycle.
  "The human body is infected with the new crown virus, which will cause the decline of body functions, which will make the hair fall faster than usual, which means that more hair will enter the resting period." Dai Yeqin said, of course, not every "Yangkang" will have The trouble of hair loss, but the proportion of Yangkang's hair loss is higher than expected: "It's just not yet, and there will be an incubation period for hair loss."
  She provided the reporter with research on some foreign literature. From the clinical data, about 31.3% of the people in "Yangkang" experienced resting hair loss , losing more than 100 hairs every day, and women accounted for 73% .
  "The more serious the symptoms of the infection, the more nutrients are lost, and the more obvious the natural hair loss will be." Dai Yeqin said that there is an incubation period for resting hair loss, and the peak period of hair loss will appear about 45-60 days after "Yangkang".
  Judging from the current round of infections in Hangzhou, many people became "Xiaoyang people" in mid-December last year. This means that after the Spring Festival, many people will face the problem of hair loss .
  Dai Yeqin said that the hair loss clinic is expected to usher in a small peak. "But don't worry too much. This kind of intermittent hair loss will be fine. After two or three months of repair, the symptoms of hair loss will disappear ." She said that during the recovery period after Yang Kang turns negative, nutrition must be ensured Balance, pay attention to rest, get enough sleep, and have a peaceful mind, which will improve hair loss to a certain extent, and can shorten the process of hair loss during the resting period: "Add more protein and carbohydrates, and eat more high-quality meat. At this time, don't lose weight by quitting carbohydrates. , not eating carbs can also cause hair loss ."
  "I look forward to having long flowing hair when the spring blossoms in May." She said, "If you don't get better after three months, you still need to see a doctor

The second is that the migrant workers in previous years The personnel, also went back earlier this year, so it played a role of diversion, and the passenger flow will decrease. In urban areas, the impact of the Spring Festival travel flow on the overall epidemic situation is relatively limited, but it is not ruled out that in some remote areas, including some rural areas, the Spring Festival travel passenger flow will promote the peak of virus infection, so we remind everyone that if the Spring Festival travel is going to return Township, if you want to travel long distances, you still need to evaluate your physical condition, for example, those who have not been infected, or those who are infected and have not recovered, we do not recommend long-distance travel
