What to do if hypothyroidism and hair loss are severe

1. Actively treat hypothyroidism

Hair loss is caused by hypothyroidism, and hair loss is just a symptom of hypothyroidism. Therefore, to improve hair loss, we need to start with the hypothyroidism disease and treat hypothyroidism scientifically. Patients can take drugs such as Euthyrox, or use conservative methods such as traditional Chinese medicine to treat hypothyroidism, or combine Chinese and Western medicine for treatment. As long as the hypothyroidism condition is stabilized, the symptoms of hair loss will naturally be relieved or improved.

2. Pay attention to hair nutrition

Pay attention to nutritional conditioning. The main component of hair is collagen, so you need to supplement different nutrients such as high-quality protein, B vitamins, vitamin C and calcium.

3. Keep a happy mood

Patients with hypothyroidism often lose interest in anything and feel listless. They should try to keep a happy mood and use traveling, listening to music, etc. to regulate their emotions.

4. Eat a healthy diet

Patients should eat less spicy and irritating foods and foods with high fat content to avoid further aggravating endocrine and thyroid hormone disorders.

5. Get enough sleep

Sleep is very important to human health, especially for patients. Good sleep is conducive to improving the condition, and as the condition improves, the symptoms of hair loss can also be improved.

Hair loss and constipation are common symptoms of hypothyroidism. Patients with hypothyroidism who experience these symptoms should actively treat the hypothyroidism. Patients without hypothyroidism who experience hair loss symptoms should find out the cause, check thyroid function, and then solve the hair loss problem in a targeted manner.

Why does hypothyroidism cause hair loss?

When you have hypothyroidism, your metabolism slows down, while your thyroid gland becomes overactive and your body uses too many resources. Whether it is hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, as long as the hormones secreted by the thyroid gland are disrupted, the hair growth cycle will also be disrupted, which will cause hair loss.

In addition, hair loss in some patients with hypothyroidism may be related to the medications they take. Generally speaking, long-term use of hormonal drugs may cause side effects such as hair loss.
