Dr. Tseng (曾石姿) of 瑞安皮膚科 discusses the many possible causes of hair loss in this archived Uho feature. The report begins with a 35-year-old man who noticed widespread shedding and two patches of alopecia during a stressful period. Blood tests and a clinical review informed the treatment plan, with improvement reported over time.

Hair loss has more than one cause

The original discusses heredity, thyroid and immune-related conditions, polycystic ovarian syndrome, iron deficiency, stress, surgery, medicines and disrupted routines. It also records contemporary reports associated with the COVID-19 period; those historical observations do not establish causation for an individual case.

Dr. Tseng describes younger men presenting with receding hairlines and vertex changes, and women presenting with postpartum, weight-related, dietary or stress-related concerns. Protein and vitamin intake, sleep and restrictive dieting are discussed as factors to review.

Not all hair loss is contagious

The original headline refers specifically to scalp infections that can spread, not to hair loss in general. Dr. Tseng discusses fungal or bacterial scalp problems, including hygiene concerns in Taiwan’s hot climate and among helmet users. Identifying and managing the underlying scalp condition is essential.

The report also discusses topical hair-growth products, oral supplementation when appropriate and platelet-related injections. PLT is presented as one option in the physician’s practice, with the proposed aim of supporting follicles and circulation. These are reported clinical views, not a guaranteed regrowth result.

Notice changes early

The physician encourages assessment when hair becomes finer, density changes or shedding in the shower increases, rather than waiting until loss is severe. The interview emphasizes balanced meals, avoiding excessive weight loss, scalp cleanliness and stress management alongside an individualized clinical plan.
