10 Underactive Thyroid Symptoms

Symptom #6: Hair Loss
Most people will keep the hair on their head for long into their old age, although some men can begin losing their hair in middle age. It is something that can be quite upsetting and affected person’s can be quite self-conscious about it. Unfortunately, it can be caused by certain medical conditions, including an underactive thyroid.
With an underactive thyroid, the hair follicles are not being stimulated into regeneration. This will stop the hair from growing and can even cause it to fall out. Fortunately, however, the hair should grow back again once the underlying cause has been treated.
