    First of all, it is necessary to understand the growth of hair. Hair in a normal human body consists of two parts, one is the part above the surface of the scalp called the hair shaft, and the other is the part located in the scalp called the hair root. The enlargement of the lower end of the hair silver is called the hair follicle, which is the part of hair growth, development, and nutrition.

    Normal human hair grows and stops growing periodically. The anagen phase is 3-4 years, during which hair grows from the hair follicles, grows and receives nutrients from it. After that, after about 3 months of anagen cessation, the hair falls out naturally.

    It's just that all the human hair or the hair adjacent to each other is not in the same growth cycle, so human hair falls out and grows at any time, but the number of hair that falls out is not large, which is a physiological phenomenon. Chemotherapy produces hair loss because most chemotherapy drugs often damage the hair follicle cells in the scalp at the same time as the first tumor, which is manifested as varying degrees of hair loss in patients. Not all chemotherapy drugs cause hair loss, and the degree of hair loss is not exactly the same.

    The most common drugs that cause hair loss are doxorubicin, epirubicin, daunorubicin, cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide, nitrogen mustard, methotrexate, foot acetylone, Vermeer, fluorouracil, vinblastine, vinblastinamide, mitomycin, etc., which can often cause some or all hair loss. Secondly, there are cisplatin, vincristine, dactinomycin, bleomycin, mercaptopurine and other drugs, which can cause a small amount or part of hair loss. The World Health Organization defines the mildest form of hair loss as only a small amount of hair loss; Severe hair loss refers to the loss of all hair, and the hair grows back after stopping chemotherapy for a certain period of time; Moderate alopecia falls somewhere in between; Severe hair loss refers to the loss of all hair that cannot grow back after stopping chemotherapy, which is rarely seen during chemotherapy.

    It can be seen that hair loss caused by chemotherapy drugs usually regrows back 1 to 3 months after stopping chemotherapy. Sometimes the hair that grows back will be darker or curly than the original hair. The degree of hair loss caused by chemotherapy drugs is not only related to the type of drug, but also to the dose of the drug, and the higher the dose each time, the more severe the hair loss.

    Chemotherapy with a combination of several drugs is heavier than hair loss with a single drug**. Chemotherapy-induced hair loss usually begins 2 to 4 weeks after administration, first on the top of the head and gradually develops around. In older patients, the original gray hair does not necessarily fall out.

    Generally, 1 to 3 months after the patient stops chemotherapy, the hair can grow back completely. In order to prevent hair loss, some people inject chemotherapy drugs and wear ice caps on the patient's head at the same time to cool the scalp and constrict local blood vessels to reduce the drug reaching the hair follicles and alleviate hair loss. But the effect is not very obvious.

    In conclusion, there is no adverse effect on the patient's body due to hair loss caused by chemotherapy drugs. Therefore, patients who are about to receive chemotherapy or are undergoing chemotherapy must have a correct understanding of hair loss caused by chemotherapy drugs, avoid fear caused by insufficient understanding, and accept it calmly and happily, which is conducive to the disease.

    In addition to the changes in appearance, many patients who value their appearance are also worried about whether they can grow back to their original appearance after completing **? Why exactly does chemotherapy cause hair loss? Does this happen with every drug?

    How long will the process last? If you can first understand the *** produced by chemotherapy, do a good job of psychological construction, and prepare a hat or headscarf in advance, it will also help to reduce psychological pressure and help to complete it smoothly**.

    Chemotherapy works to destroy fast-growing cancer cells in the body, but fast-growing cells are also often affected by drugs, such as hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, or other areas of hair.

    Hair loss usually occurs 4-6 weeks after starting chemotherapy, but hair loss is only temporary, and when it is completed, it will grow back 3-6 months after completion**. Usually the hair that grows just after the end of the hair may be different in color and hair quality from before, such as being easier to curl or lighter in color, but these phenomena will gradually return to their original state with the body. In general, high-dose, intravenous infusion, and intermittent administration of chemotherapy drugs have a higher chance of hair loss, and the chance of hair loss caused by combined ** is also greater than that of a single drug.

    For those undergoing chemotherapy, there are some precautionary principles that can be discussed with the doctor, such as by reducing the blood flow to the scalp, which in turn reduces the amount of drug entering the hair follicles; Or drugs for more aggressive prevention.

    1.Lowers scalp temperature:Lowering the temperature of the scalp causes blood vessels to constrict and reduce the rate of metabolism of hair follicles, inhibiting the amount of drugs entering cells.

    However, the scalp temperature is lowered below 24°C, so it may cause discomfort or headaches, but in general, about 50-80% of patients can reduce hair loss.

    2.Use of drugs for prophylaxis:Discuss with your doctor whether you can prescribe medications to prevent hair loss, which can usually shorten the time it takes for hair to grow back or delay hair loss by altering the cell cycle, but there are no very clear studies on these drugs.

    1.Be kind to your hair and scalp:When combing your hair, you can use some simple conditioners to make your hair less prone to knots and reduce pulling.

    When drying your hair, lower the temperature of the hair dryer to avoid damaging the roots; Try not to perm and keep your scalp in a healthy state.

    2.Consider cutting your hair short:Short hair can make hair loss less noticeable compared to long hair.

    Chemotherapy is a BAI drug that kills tumor cells

    By this means, chemical therapy drugs have a characteristic, which is that they have strong lethality to cells that are active in proliferation, and the cells that are swollen back to tumors grow quickly, so tumor cells are easy to be killed. The normal human tissues, which proliferate relatively quickly, include hair, gastrointestinal mucosal cells, oral mucosal cells, hematopoietic cells, etc., which are also easy to be damaged, which is a major part of chemotherapy.

    Human hair grows very quickly, and some people have to cut their hair every two weeks. Therefore, hair follicle cells are also sensitive to chemotherapy drugs, which will kill some hair follicle cells, resulting in hair loss. Breast cancer patients use paclitaxel and epirubicin, which can easily cause hair loss, while oxaliplatin and irinotecan used for colorectal cancer rarely cause hair loss.

    Similar principle, the mucosal cells of the gastrointestinal tract proliferate quickly, are sensitive to chemotherapy drugs, and gastrointestinal reactions such as diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting may occur during chemotherapy. Complications such as anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, etc., occur in the blood system. I hope this answer is helpful.

    Hair loss by chemotherapy is the cause of *** and is caused by chemotherapy drugs. It's going to fall.

    None of the chemotherapy drugs can recognize cancer cells and normal cells in the body, so the use of chemical drugs to target tumors** can cause damage to the body's normal cells. However, chemical drugs cause the most damage to normal cells in the human body, such as hematopoietic cells, mucosal cells of the digestive tract and hair follicle cells. As a result, damage to the hair follicle cells that dominate hair growth in the body can lead to hair loss.

    Generally, the most common hair loss with chemotherapy starts two to three weeks after chemotherapy, and some patients may start to lose their hair after two or three times of chemotherapy, and the degree of hair loss will be different, and the hair loss may be more severe as the chemotherapy progresses. Any part of the human body that has hair growth can be the subject of hair loss, and it is not only the head that we usually think of as hair loss.

    Hair loss caused by chemotherapy is completely temporary, and it will gradually recover within three months to six months after chemotherapy ends.

    Suggestion: Hello, chemotherapy hair loss is the cause of ***, which is caused by chemotherapy drugs. For some patients, the *** of chemotherapy is very large, and some of the side tasks are very small, so it is recommended to supplement selenium adjuvant **, such as Selenium Weikang Chewable Tablets.

    Studies have shown that taking a larger dose of selenium before and after chemotherapy can reduce leukopenia, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, severe hair loss, nephrotoxicity, etc., thereby helping to reasonably increase the dose of chemotherapy drugs to achieve better efficacy.

    In your daily diet, eat more anti-cancer foods and immune-enhancing foods, such as rape, mustard greens, shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, garlic, beans, fresh radish, eggplant, daylily, tomatoes, onions, etc.
