Abnormal hormones caused by a thyroid issue are often blamed for hair loss, but there are relatively few cases of this actually occurring. Other factors may be at play, including the fact that hair loss is a facet of ageing, and that the hormones produced as a result of childbirth, menopause and the pressures of age can create hair loss. Genetics are also a major factor.

However, hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can cause loss of hair. In cases of hair loss caused by these factors, the loss will affect the whole scalp and not just certain areas. In most cases, the hair looks sparse across the entire head, and the thyroid disorder has to be treated before the hair can grow back. It is rare for hair loss to happen in mild or short-lived cases, with prolonged hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism being the most common causes.

The hair loss will usually present after several months of the thyroid disorder taking effect. The delayed onset means the medication to treat the thyroid issue is often blamed and therefore discontinued, meaning the thyroid condition worsens along with the hair loss. Some anti-thyroid drugs, such as carbimazole and propylthiouracil can cause diffuse hair loss, although this is very rare.

Autoimmune Thyroid Disease and Hair Loss

Most sufferers of thyroid disease will have autoimmune thyroid disease. Some hair loss conditions, such as Alopecia areata, are also autoimmune conditions which means that people suffering from autoimmune thyroid disease are more likely to suffer from hair loss as well.
