Solutions for Thyroid Related Hair Loss

Thyroid conditions are manageable and can be kept under control through medications. However, you may experience hair loss even after starting drugs to help with your condition. Certain drugs used to treat thyroid conditions, such as carbimazole and propylthiouracil, have been known to contribute to hair loss. Using essential oils or taking biotin supplements are an option to help slow hair loss but hair regrowth is slow and new growth may differ in color or texture.

Those who suffer from thyroid conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) often struggle with thinning, brittle hair and hair loss. Our hair goes through stages of growth and each hair is in 1 of 4 stages at any time. Normally, you lose between 50 to 100 hairs a day but it goes unnoticed since other hairs are in the normal growth or resting phases. Thyroid conditions affects hair at the root, resulting in hair growing slower and resulting in noticeable thinning. 

There are effective solutions to treat dry, brittle hair and boost regrowth. New England Associates® offers Laser hair therapy is a process that strengthens and thickens hair at the root directly where fluctuating hormones caused by thyroid problems affect growth. After only a few treatments you may see fuller, shiner, healthier hair. Hair replacement  is another great option to restore thinning hair. Hair can be easily styled to your desired look and length and you can still participate in the same range of activities you’ve always enjoyed. Your new hair will look and feel completely real because it is real hair! 
Results can happen within 2 months or hair can be added over-time so no one will know you’ve had something done.

Certain Prescription Medications Can Contribute to Hair Loss

Many common medications are known to contribute to hair loss and most people are unaware that their prescriptions could be drastically affecting their hair. There are certain drugs that may induce hair loss, but it is first important to understand the two types of drug-induced hair loss that can occur.

When drugs cause hair loss they do so by interrupting the normal cycle of hair scalp growth. When hair is growing it has two stages, the anagen phase (the hair growth phase) and the telogen phase (the hair resting phase). When the hair completes the resting phase, it falls out and is replaced with new hair through the anagen phase. When medications cause hair loss it can lead to two different forms of hair loss: telogen effluvium and anagen effluvium.

The telogen effluvium is the most common type of hair loss in relation to medication. It takes around two to four months to fall out. The medication shortens the time that the hair follicles are in the resting phase and causes them to fall out too early. On average people already lose up to 100 hairs per day, so the increased hair loss can make a noticeable difference. In the anagen effluvium hair loss, the hair falls out during the growth phase of the hair cycle. It inhibits the hair cell’s ability to divide normally and this often occurs as soon as a few days to a few weeks after taking the medication. The amount of hair lost directly correlates to your sensitivity to the drug, the type of drug, and the dosage of the drug.

There are many different drugs that can slightly or drastically impact an individual’s hair loss. Hormonal supplements for female or male specific conditions, antidepressants, treatments for high cholesterol like the drugs Atronids or Lopid, and even drugs prescribed to treat thyroid disorders all are known to contribute to hair loss. For a more complete listing of the drugs that can cause hair loss, you can visit our website here. 

It’s important to be aware of what medications could be affecting your hair. If you are suffering from hair loss and are also taking one of these drugs, you may want to talk to your physician first. Afterwards you can visit New EnglandAssociates® for your free hair and scalp analysis to discuss what procedures or products can help you get your healthy hair back. We offer a wide range of surgical and non-surgical solutions like hair transplantation, Hair Grafting, laser therapy, and our exclusive HairStart® system.
