Hair loss will increase due to coronavirus! ?

It is said that 25% to 30% of people infected with coronavirus experience hair loss.Most of this is a retrospective survey of patients hospitalized with coronavirus, so it is not known how many coronavirus patients who do not require hospitalization actually experience hair loss.

I myself became concerned about hair loss about 4 months after contracting coronavirus (Delta strain) last year. I was so confused that I didn't know what to do with this.

Since then, I have started taking medicine and my condition has improved, but based on my doctor's advice, I would like to explain what kind of relationship there is between coronavirus infection and hair loss. I'll go.

First, hair loss after contracting coronavirus infection is thought to be different from AGA, and is called "acute telogen effluvium."
“Acute telogen effluvium” is a disease in which all of the hair falls out temporarily due to major surgery, infection, or severe stress.

How is it different from AGA?

In the case of AGA, there are patterns in the way hair falls out: one type where the hair falls out in an M-shape at the front, one type where the hair thins out in an O-shape at the top of the head, or both.

On the other hand, hair loss after contracting coronavirus infection results in hair loss all over the body.

Treatment of acute telogen effluvium

Although there is currently no established treatment for acute telogen effluvium,This is temporary hair loss and will grow back over time. It is said that hair loss generally begins two to three months after severe stress or coronavirus infection and stops within six months.
If you want to grow quickly, please receive treatment similar to AGA treatment.
