What is Thyroid Hair Loss?

Thyroid related hair loss manifests when a person suffers long term hormonal imbalance resulting from abnormal behaviour of the thyroid. Hair loss appears far less common in short term thyroid related conditions. The thyroid produces hormones responsible for a range of important tasks including temperature, metabolic rate, maintenance of bone structures and heart rate. Both an overactive thyroid and underactive thyroid disorders can lead to hair loss.

Can high thyroid cause hair loss? Hyperthyroidism, the overactive thyroid disease, occurs when the thyroid gland produces too many thyroid hormones. Hyperthyroidism is up to ten times more likely in men than women and is usually diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40. Hair loss is a symptom of prolonged hyperthyroid issues.

Common symptoms of Hyperthyroidism:

  • Mood changes, anxiety, restlessness, issues with sleeping
  • Pain and swelling in the throat (Goitre), muscle weakness, menstruation disturbances (lightness or absence)

Hypothyroidism, the underactive thyroid disease, occurs when the thyroid does not produce enough hormones. Hair loss and thinning hair is a symptom of long-term hypothyroidism. Prolonged hypothyroidism is more common in women than men and is often diagnosed in middle age and later age groups, though it can occur at any age.

Common symptoms of Hypothyroidism:

  • Fatigues, tiredness, slow movements, memory problems, depression
  • Weight gain, constipation, feel the cold
  • Dry hair and skin, puffy around the eyes
  • Heavy menstruation

Always consult your GP if you’re experience any of these symptoms.

Thyroid hair loss affects all hair, not just that on the scalp. The hair on the head will thin, but so too might the eyebrows and lashes body hair and other hair follicle. Hair on the scalp will suffer diffuse thinning, meaning a general thinning all over the head as opposed to sections of hair falling out.

In both cases, the production of hormones T3 and T4 is disrupted. One of the jobs of these hormones is the development of hair at the root. With this process in jeopardy, hair falls out and is not replaced, hence the general thinning appearance of the hair as opposed to losing all the hair from patches across the scalp.

Simone Thomas Wellness can help you find the right treatment for women experiencing symptoms of hair loss or hair thinning as a result of a thyroid imbalances.

How Can Adding Supplements to Your Diet Help Reduce Thyroid Hair Loss?

Hair loss can take a toll on your physical and mental wellbeing, a position Simone Thomas understands personally. Simone has experienced hair loss from an underactive thyroid before and among other health issues, is what motivated her to start Simone Thomas Wellness as a way to help other women suffering from hair loss.

Taking the right thyroid medication for thyroid disorders along with Simone Thomas Wellness recommended supplements can benefit women and men experiencing hair loss by easing symptoms and encouraging fast, strong hair growth.

There are effective medications available to level out hormone production in the thyroid and treat hair loss, such as Levothyroxine. Daily hormone replacement tablets may be prescribed for hypothyroidism, increasing the amount of hormones in the blood stream until the correct level is established and stabilised.

For hyperthyroidism, hormone production blockers may be prescribed to slow down hormone production and redress your hormone levels.

After recovering from her hair loss, Simone spent years studying how our diet and lifestyle affects our hair, focussing on supplementation to boost hair health, and gut health to look after the body.
