Thyroid Disease and Hair Loss

The lack of sufficient thyroid hormone can certainly cause hair loss, since the thyroid gland is the regulator of the body. Thyroid dysfunction can be triggered by other underlaying problems, and the symptoms can be debilitating. Among its important functions, thyroid gland and hormones affect tissue repair and development, aid in mitochondrial function, digestive process, oxygen utilization, hormone excretion, blood flow, modulates protein, carbohydrate, and fat metabolism, muscle and nerve function, sexual function, growth, and vitamin usage. Thyroid deficiency can cause acne, irritability, anxiety, allergies, cognitive decline, dizziness, congestive heart failure, changes in the skin and facial features, hair and eyebrows loss, fluid retention, erectile dysfunction, endometriosis, gallstones, headaches, insulin problems, inflammation, constipation, coronary artery disease, including myocardial infarction, eating disorders, delayed deep tendon reflexes, hypertension, sleep apnea, infertility, and so much more.
