Problem description:
I am 22 years old now. My legs often cramp. What caused it?
And frequent hair loss.
Analysis:
Hair loss is a common disease, regardless of gender, age and age, which is difficult to heal and affects beauty. Therefore, physicians have attached great importance to it since ancient times.
Chinese medicine believes that "the kidney dominates the bone, and it is abundant in the hair"; "Heart governs blood, liver stores blood, and blood nourishes hair", and dysfunction of internal organs can all lead to pathological alopecia. The incidence of alopecia is divided into alopecia areata, seborrheic alopecia, post-illness alopecia and postpartum alopecia. The disease types are blood heat, blood deficiency, liver and kidney yin deficiency, qi stagnation and blood stasis.
Alopecia areata, commonly known as "ghost shaving", patients are mostly young and middle-aged, with more men than women. Alopecia areata often occurs suddenly, and the plaque size varies. One piece can develop into several pieces and quickly merge into "total baldness". Some patients have eyebrows, beards, armpit hair and other body hair, which is called "alopecia universalis". Most of these patients are caused by excessive blood heat, or liver-qi damage and meridian obstruction due to work, study and life. If clearing away heat and cooling blood, nourishing the heart and soothing the liver, calming the nerves and strengthening the brain, dredging collaterals and activating collaterals, new hair can be promoted.
Seborrheic alopecia can be divided into oily, dry and neutral, which mostly occurs in young men or mental workers, and also occurs in women in recent years. Many patients suffer from neurasthenia, insomnia and dreaminess, yin deficiency of liver and kidney, soreness of waist and knees, excessive dandruff, itchy scalp, yellow and soft hair, and easy hair loss when washing and combing hair. The black hair on the forehead and the top of the head of many patients gradually thinly falls off, slowly exposing the top and finally forming baldness. This kind of hair loss is mostly due to muscle heat invading pores, causing hair follicle malnutrition or endocrine disorders, leading to excessive sebum secretion, blocking and oppressing hair, resulting in insufficient blood supply, and hair follicles gradually atrophy and necrosis.
Hair loss after illness and postpartum hair loss are often due to long-term illness, weakness of viscera, malnutrition, or excessive blood loss during childbirth, and blood deficiency due to overwork during lactation, which cannot nourish hair.
In terms of treatment, corresponding measures should be taken according to different causes of hair loss. Hair loss related to mental factors should be removed as much as possible; Caused by endocrine disorders, corresponding endocrine hormones can be used; If alopecia is caused by vasodilation disorder caused by nerve dysfunction, drugs that regulate autonomic nerves can be used.

Causes and solutions of calf cramps
The scientific name of cramp is muscle spasm, which is the spontaneous tense contraction of muscle. Muscle spasms that occur in calves and toes are the most common, and the pain is unbearable when they occur, especially cramps in the middle of the night, which often make people unable to relieve the pain for a long time after waking up and affect sleep.
Common causes of leg and leg cramps are as follows:
(1) Cold environment * * *, such as low room temperature in winter nights, too thin quilt cover when sleeping or legs and feet exposed.
② Fatigue, sleep, lack of rest or excessive rest lead to the accumulation of local acid metabolites, which can all cause muscle spasm. Too long walking or exercise time, excessive fatigue of lower limbs or insufficient rest and sleep will lead to lactic acid accumulation. Sleep rest time is too long, blood circulation slows down and carbon dioxide accumulates.
③ Decreased estrogen and osteoporosis in elderly women will lead to decreased blood calcium level, increased muscle stress and frequent spasms.
4 Poor sleep posture, such as lying on your back for a long time, making the quilt press on the foot surface, or prone for a long time, making the foot surface close to the bed, forcing some muscles of the calf to be in an absolute relaxed state for a long time, resulting in "passive contracture" of the muscles.
What should I do if my calf cramps? According to different reasons, taking the following different countermeasures can quickly relieve spasm and relieve pain. When cramps occur, as long as you do the opposite, that is, pull your toes in the opposite direction of the force, and stick to it for more than l ~ 2 minutes, you can get the result. Specifically, if it is a muscle cramp at the back of the calf, on the one hand, you can pull your foot to make it upturned, on the other hand, you can straighten your knee as much as possible; When the muscles in front of the calf cramp, you can press the foot plate and bend your toes hard.
In order to prevent leg cramps, the following points should be paid attention to at ordinary times:
① Drive away cold and keep warm.
② Pay attention to sleeping posture.
(8) Don't walk or exercise for a long time.
(4) Appropriate participation in physical exercise (9)
⑤ Supplement some vitamin E when necessary.
6. Appropriate calcium supplementation, dairy products containing lactic acid and amino acids, lean meat and other foods can promote the dissolution and absorption of calcium salts.
People's common leg cramps are actually calf muscle spasms, which show that calf muscles, such as gastrocnemius muscles, suddenly become hard and painful, which can last for several seconds to dozens of seconds.
Common causes of cramp in one leg
(1) cold. For example, exercising in a cold environment in winter. Insufficient preparation activities; The swimming water temperature is low in summer, which easily leads to leg cramps. Sleeping without a quilt at night will make the calf muscles cold and wake people up.
② The muscles continue to contract too fast. During strenuous exercise, the whole body is in a state of tension, the leg muscles contract too fast, the relaxation time is too short, the local metabolite lactic acid increases, and the contraction and relaxation of muscles are difficult to coordinate, thus causing calf muscle spasm.
3 excessive sweating. Exercise for a long time, exercise a lot, sweat a lot, and can't replenish salt in time. A large number of fluids and electrolytes are lost in the body, metabolic wastes are accumulated, local blood circulation of muscles is not good, and spasms are also prone to occur.
4 excessive fatigue. When traveling long distances, climbing mountains, and climbing mountains, the calf muscles are most prone to fatigue. Because every time I climb a mountain, I support my whole body weight with one foot. The muscles of this leg need six times the weight of a person to lift the foot. When it is tired to a certain extent, it will have convulsions.
⑤ Calcium deficiency. Calcium ion plays an important role in muscle contraction. When the concentration of calcium ion in blood is too low, muscles are easily excited and twitched. Teenagers grow rapidly and are prone to calcium deficiency, so leg cramps often occur.
Prevention of leg cramps
① Pay attention to supplement calcium and vitamin D, and eat calcium tablets or shrimp skin, milk, bean products and other foods rich in calcium.
(2) Strengthen physical exercise. Exercise should be fully prepared to make the body active, and then the blood circulation of the lower limbs is smooth, and then participate in various intense sports or competitions to avoid leg cramps.
③ Keep warm to prevent local muscles from catching cold.
First aid for cramps in three legs
Usually, once a leg cramp occurs, you can immediately grab the big toe on one side of the cramp, then slowly straighten your feet and then stretch your legs hard, so that the calf muscles will not cramp; Or use both hands to force the calf, which can also be effective.
If you often have leg cramps, you need to see a doctor.
The simplest thing is to relax when cramping ~ and then slowly straighten your feet.
