Can anthing be done for female hair loss due to ungeractive thyroid? I take thyroxine but am still l

I've tried several products but none seem to work. I;ve noticed that although the subject of thyroid problems is sometimes mentioned, they all seem to shy away from saying whether the product works for this condition or not. Am I doomed to be bald? Please help.

Historically, there is no one single treatment that has been consistent in aiding hair loss or thinning hair.

Why is this?

Because there are different problems that cause hair loss or hair thinning that requires different solutions to the problem.

Another issue is that people with hypothyroidism fail to understand that there are multiple causes for the clinical presentation of hypothyroidism. The term hypothyroidism is a bit of a blanket statement and does not point to a single cause. People have hypothyroidism because of autoimmune disorders, nutrient deficiencies, imbalance in nutrient contents, toxic exposure, hormonal imbalance, etc.

For example, high levels of stress have been shown to cause hair loss in rapid or slow rates. Stress hormones have been shown to switch the growth rate of hair and put more of the hairs into the resting (telogen) phase. This is known as Telogen Effluvium. This will cause a more rapid loss of hair because the hair matrix appear to stop dividing.

At the same time, stress hormones (notably cortisol) have been shown to suppress the conversion of active thyroid hormone. Since hair is low on the totem pole as far as survival goes (while things like your brain are higher up), your body will take the majority of the remaining active thyroid hormones and use it in other places besides the hair. This is why hair thinning and hair loss is one of the first signs of hypothyroidism.

So now you have multiple physiological causes of hair thinning or hair loss stemming from one problem (stress). This means the hair loss is occurring because of the hypothyroidism and because of other mechanisms, but both are stemming from stress.

Treatment geared towards the thyroid be a medication, lifestyle modification, diet, exercise, supplementation etc. may have some benefit, or may be of limited use.

In this hypothetical example, addressing the problem (stress) has a higher probability of improving your hair.

Moral of the story is you need to troubleshoot to find out what the problem is and how it is affecting you.

I've attached a couple links to articles I have written on the subject in greater detail.

My aunt had this problem and discovered that massaging her scalp with oils after washing her hair did definitely slow down, or even stop, the balding process. Apparently it stimulates the hair follicles. You can buy a massage oil in any health store. I'd say it's worth a shot. Good luck!

you are prbably on synthetic thyroid so find a Dr. that treats by symptoms rather than just TSH tests and prescribes the full armour thyroid that contains the full spectrum of both T3's and T4's . I had hyperthyroid and an ablation gained over one hundred lbs till I changed Dr.'s . things are looking up these days .

I have the same problem. You won't be bald but you will tend to have thin hair. It takes a while for your thyroxine to level you out, after that you shouldn't lose as much hair.

Think about switching to Armour thyroid. It can often help with hairloss. I switched 4 years ago and the hairloss stopped. I even regrew some of it in the temple area and my eyebrows grew back as well. It is adjusted by the free t4 and free t3 blood test, not by TSH. Link below

How long have you been taking thyroxine? It takes months to work. It is also possible that you aren't taking a large enough dose. I suffered from alopecia before my thyroid condition was diagnosed nearly 10 years ago. The hair grew back eventually.....grey. I now have a full head of hair, but it is thinner than it used to be.
