With the acceleration of social rhythm, the increase of pressure and the change of living environment, hair loss has become a worry for most young people.
Xiao Wang, a 28-year-old programmer from Dachang, failed in all kinds of hair growth methods. By chance, when he browsed social networking sites, he found that a certain brand germinal pill received a lot of praise and immediately placed an order.
After taking the medicine for 3 weeks, Xiao Wang’s hair loss has not changed, but he also has symptoms such as yellow skin, yellow urine, itching all over the body, poor appetite, shortness of breath and fatigue.
Xiao Wang rushed to the doctor and was diagnosed with severe drug-induced liver injury. Doctors said that the main component of germinal pill was Polygonum multiflorum Thunb, which was hepatotoxic.
Why can’t germinal pill grow hair?
At present, the main ingredient of germinal pill sold in the market is Polygonum multiflorum Thunb, supplemented by black sesame seeds, black beans and other ingredients as pills. Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. belongs to the category of blood tonic medicine of traditional Chinese medicine, and its main functions are nourishing essence and blood, moistening intestines, detoxicating and stopping malaria.
According to the regulations, the daily dosage of raw Polygonum multiflorum in health food should not exceed 1.5 grams, and the daily dosage of prepared Polygonum multiflorum should not exceed 3.0 grams.
Polygonum multiflorum Thunb contains anthraquinones such as emodin, chrysophanol and emodin methyl ether, which can also cause certain damage to liver cells. Therefore, patients with liver dysfunction should use drugs carefully and reasonably under the guidance of doctors to avoid aggravating liver damage (hereinafter referred to as liver damage).
Medical liver damage is a common adverse drug reaction. About 20% of the cases of liver damage caused by Polygonum multiflorum Thunb and related preparations have a dosage exceeding that specified in the instructions or pharmacopoeia, which may greatly increase the risk of liver damage of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb.
In addition, the liver injury caused by Polygonum multiflorum Thunb is also related to the organism factors, which has the characteristics of sporadic, hidden, individual differences and unpredictable, so it is difficult for ordinary consumers to scientifically and accurately assess and avoid the safety risk of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb.
In addition, the ingredients of most germinal pill in the market are not clear enough, and taking too much black sesame seeds and black beans for a long time may even lead to the risk of gaining weight. Therefore, the general public should use drugs with caution, and if they must be used, they should be carried out under the guidance of professional doctors.
Drugs are like a double-edged sword. Rational use can cure diseases, while improper use will endanger health. It is a three-point poison, and many drugs on the market are hepatotoxic.
The liver is the most important organ for metabolism and detoxification in human body. If drugs enter the human body, it is the liver that is the first to be damaged.
In a hit variety show, the famous hostess ate at least nine different types of health care products in just half a minute, including whitening oral liquid, donkey-hide gelatin and grape seed … Little did she know that taking too many health care products could also lead to liver damage.
As a dietary supplement, health care products can achieve good results when the body can’t meet the needs. If the body is not lacking, blindly supplementing will increase the burden of liver metabolism and liver damage will follow.
Drug-induced liver injury can not be ignored.
A team of scientists from China published a paper online in the international academic journal Gastroenterology, saying that a study of 25,927 patients with drug-induced liver injury in 308 hospitals in Chinese mainland found that the incidence of drug-induced liver injury in China has now surpassed that in western countries, and it is estimated that the annual incidence rate is at least 238.0/100,000. Researchers believe that drug-induced liver injury has become one of the problems that cannot be ignored in China.
Further analysis of patient data, the researchers found that Chinese herbal medicine and health care products accounted for the highest proportion of drugs causing liver injury, reaching 26.81%.
In western countries, anti-infective drugs are the main cause of drug-induced liver injury. According to the author, the use of Chinese herbal medicines, health products and dietary supplements is increasing all over the world, especially in China.
A large part of Chinese prefers to use traditional Chinese medicine, because they mistakenly believe that these drugs have little or no side effects.
Drug-induced liver injury is one of the most common adverse drug reactions in clinic, which can lead to liver failure and even death in severe cases. In this study, the researchers found that there were 280 cases of liver failure, 2 cases of liver transplantation and 102 cases of death.
Especially for patients with liver diseases, they have already suffered from liver injury. If you choose the wrong drugs for treatment, it will definitely increase the burden on the liver, resulting in liver treatment and liver injury.
How to grow hair correctly
So, how do we grow hair correctly?
First of all, you can try dietotherapy to achieve a balanced diet. Usually, you can eat more foods rich in high-quality protein, vitamins and trace elements, such as fish, eggs, milk, bean products, vegetables and fruits.
Secondly, it is necessary to regulate nerves and reduce the influence of mental factors. Excessive stress and frequent staying up late have a great influence on hair growth, so patients with hair loss must ensure a good attitude and adequate sleep to avoid emotional tension, anxiety and irritability, which is conducive to the healthy growth of hair.
Finally, local massage can be used. Local massage can promote blood circulation of scalp, improve blood supply to hair follicles, and be beneficial to hair growth. You can massage your scalp by hand or gently comb your hair with a horn comb every day to promote blood circulation in your head.
In addition, choose the right hair care products. Don’t wash your hair too often, 2-3 times a week. If there is more oil, the frequency of washing your hair can be increased to once a day.
It is recommended to treat hair gently when washing and protecting, and it is not advisable to rub hair and scalp vigorously when washing hair. Choose a suitable water temperature, not too cold or too hot. The water flow can make the head skin feel warm. If it is too hot, it will cause harm to the scalp and hair. Hair conditioner can be used if it is long hair or curly hair after dyeing, but it should not touch the scalp.
Women should not sew separately in the same position for a long time, or comb too tight ponytails, curls or braids for a long time, so as not to cause traction baldness. Hair dyeing, perm and other styling should not be too frequent, and it is best to have an interval of more than 3 months.
If you need medication, or want to know more about medication, you can consult a doctor or pharmacist and use drugs rationally under their guidance.
