Why Hair Falls Out & Thyroid Causes

Thyroid problems maybe the answer to why hair falls out in some cases.

Hormonally induced hair loss takes place when an enzyme starts to convert the hormone testosterone on the scalp to dihydrotestosterone, or DHT. It is believed that DHT attacks the hair follicle, and shrinks it. Hair becomes thinner and finer, and may stop growing entirely. This conversion of testosterone to DHT seems to be sped up in some patients with thyroid problems such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.

Rapid hair loss is one of the symptoms associated with thyroid problem - the thinning hair, large amounts of hair falling out in the shower or sink, often accompanied by changes in the hair's texture, making it dry, coarse, or easily tangled.

While thyroid disease frequently causes general hair loss from the hair on the head, a unique and characteristic symptom of hypothyroidism is loss of the hair on the outer edge of the eyebrows. General loss of body hair from areas other than the head may also be seen in thyroid disease.

First See Your Doctor If Your Hair Falls Out With Excessive Hair Loss

Did you know... If you see sudden hair fall and excessive hair loss, you should first check with your family doctor or internist. A dermatologist will treat skin infections that cause hair loss. It may be necessary for you to see an endocrinologist for hormone imbalances, namely androgens. A doctor can offer medical treatment to improve the hair loss condition.

HAIR LOSS & nutrition…

HAIR LOSS and the effect of protein digestion, nutrition…

Hair loss is a common problem...
Poor protein digestion (gluten-free diet might help with your doctor), or iron deficiency could cause hair loss. Depression and fatigue may follow with noticing of excessive hair loss.

Malnutrition due to undiagnosed celiac may be a cause of significant hair loss and change in the hair quality.

As general health returns and proteins are in balance again, hair will begin to grow again with healthier texture, in most cases. Gray color change might be seen in the new hair growth.

Stress, such as a severe celiac episode, severe malnutrition, or hormonal - related stress such as menopause or childbirth can cause hair loss. Usually hair growth will come back after six months of good health.

If you are experiencing itchiness, dry scalp, or dandruff, check with your dermatologist. Other doctors to consult could be Internal Medicine MD, Oncologist or your OBG. If you are using any medication prescribed by a doctor and you see no improvement of your hair loss after a month or two than go back to your doctor.
