Can thyroid problems cause hair loss?

Definitely! Hair loss is one of the classic symptoms of hypothyroidism, (underactive thyroid).Can thyroid problems cause hair loss?
hair loss and either low weight or can cause you to gain weightCan thyroid problems cause hair loss?
yes i have been on synthroid for 25 years i lost all my eyebrows
yes
Oh honey....hair loss and LOTS of other things too!!! My endocrinologist suggested I purchase a specific book for information. I cant lay my hands on it right now, but I think the title is ';Your Thyroid';, and it's easily found at any of the bigger book stores. check it out!! Lots of really good information....I was diagnosed hypothyroid 10 years ago, and still pull that book out as a reference!! Good luck!!
Certainly. Hypothyroidism (Low Thyroid Levels) can cause dry brittle hair that can easily fall off and cause hair loss. Hyperthyroidism (High Thyroid Levels) usually cause oily hair and don't usually cause hair loss.
