Hypothyroid + hair loss

HannahSv profile image
2 Replies

I treat the hypothyroid for 1.5 years and I use EUTHYROX 75 mg.

My hair has deteriorated (hair is thinner and still falling)

The doctor told me they would grow up again, but I do not believe.

I stop hair loss or I miss some vitamins and minerals?

Check your Ferritin levels, very important for hair loss and needs to be quite high for hair regrowth. Low levels are common in Hashi's. Can take months to see results following supplementation.

Hairloss can be due to vitamin deficiencies:

also could be due to undermedication. What are your latest thyroid results, if you can post them we can comment, but please include the reference ranges as well as the results because ranges vary from lab to lab.
