Can thyroid cause hair fall?

I've been losing a lot of hair lately, more than usual, and I also have an underactive thyroid. My doctor mentioned it briefly, but I wanted to know if my thyroid condition is the main reason for this hair fall.

Yeah bro, thyroid absolutely destroys your hair. I was losing chunks of hair daily and got super stressed. Once I got my blood checked and started taking thyroid meds regularly, the hair fall finally stopped. Get tested ASAP.

Hi, I just joined this group because I'm facing terrible hair fall too. My friend said it might be due to my thyroid. Does anyone know if the hair actually grows back once we start taking the thyroid medicine? I am quite scared.

Yes, thyroid definitely causes hair fall. Instead of buying expensive hair oils or serums that don't work, spend 400 rupees on a basic thyroid blood test. Getting the test done first will save you thousands of rupees on useless hair treatments.

Yes, thyroid is a major reason for hair fall! 😢 But don't worry, it's very treatable. Once your hormone levels are back to normal with the right medicine, your hair will bounce back too! Stay happy and consult a doctor soon! 😊

Look, if you are losing hair rapidly, stop experimenting with shampoo brands. Thyroid imbalance is a very common cause of hair fall. Just go to a clinic, get a thyroid profile test done, and show the report to an endocrinologist. That is the only real solution.

Hey, I completely feel you, hair fall can be so depressing for us. Yes, thyroid imbalances definitely cause hair thinning and shedding. Just get your levels checked and start the meds, it really helps stabilize the hair fall. Don't stress, you got this!

I know how terrifying it is to see a bunch of hair in the drain every morning and worry if you are going bald. Yes, thyroid causes hair fall, and the anxiety makes it worse. Please know you are not alone, and getting a medical test will help you control this.

Yes, both hypo and hyperthyroidism can cause diffuse hair shedding across the scalp. It is because thyroid hormones directly impact the hair follicle cycle. I always recommend clients get a TSH test done first before trying any hair supplements.

Beta, thyroid absolutely causes hair fall. While you must see a doctor for your main thyroid treatment, you can gently massage your scalp with thoda warm coconut oil with curry leaves to nourish your roots. Take care of your health first.

Yes, thyroid issues disturb your hair growth cycle. Along with your doctor's medicine, make sure you eat a protein-rich vegetarian diet with lentils, seeds, and leafy greens to support hair strength. But remember, diet alone won't cure thyroid, so get tested.
