women hair loss- can a thyroid condition cause hair loss? and if so what can a person do to fix the thyroid problem?
absolutely both over and underactive thyroid can cause hair loss. if you thyroid is underactive and it's just a mild case sometimes you can get some help by eating kelp supplement. usually you will need a doctor to give you supplemental thyroid hormone. they will use blood work to see what's appropriate. if your thyroid is overactive that makes things harder but it's still manageable.
