Thyroid Disorders

Thyroid disease is a health issue that affects how the thyroid gland works. When the thyroid doesn't function properly, it can lead to severe and long-lasting conditions like hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, which might cause hair loss. This hair loss affects the whole scalp, making the hair look thin all over rather than in patches. With successful treatment of the thyroid problem, hair often grows back, but it can take several months and may not completely return to normal.
