About thyroid disease

A thyroid is a butterfly- shaped gland in the neck, which produces hormones released by thyroids called Triodothyronine, and thyroxin.

Hair loss is influenced by two kinds of thyroid disease Hyperthyroidism, and Hypothyroidism, which are mostly found in women at the age of 20-30. At Hyperthyroidism a large thyroid gland produces thyroid hormone causing hair loss, while at Hypothyroidism produced antibodies attack the thyroid causing ruin of the thyroid hormone production. But both Hyperthyroidism and Hypothyroidism cause hair loss.

Hyperthyroidism and Hypothyroidism are one of the most common problems of thyroid development. Being autoimmune thyroid diseases, Hyperthyroidism and Hypothyroidism affect body’s tissues, organs and glands. If you have even one autoimmune disease, you can get another autoimmune disease.

The symptoms of Hyperthyroidism are weight gain or loss, excessive perspiring, fatigue, leg swelling, emotional changes and oily skin. Symptoms of hypothyroidism include weight gain, depression, the swelling of eyelids, hands and feet, muscle aches and dry skin.
