Are you a woman who has been experiencing puzzling hair
     loss and would like to know more about why it is
happening? Do you think that maybe if you figured out the
   cause, you could better find a solution and stop the
  problem now? Well, have you ever considered that it
  might be due to problems with your thyroid? I know, I
             know; what's a thyroid anyway?
What is a Thyroid?
The thyroid is a gland in your body's endocrine system.
 The endocrine system is a set of glands in the body that
 secrete different types of hormones in order to regulate
  the body. The thyroid gland's purpose, specifically, is to
regulate how sensitive the body is to other hormones, the
speed at which the body uses energy and also the creation
   of proteins. The functions that are regulated are very
  important to the body. If one is experiencing a problem
 with his or her thyroid, they are probably having a tough
 time "feeling normal". This is because, in particular, the
body's energy use, which is regulated by the thyroid, has a
       great deal to do with how you feel in general.
What Type of Disorder Would Cause Hair Loss?
Hypothyroidism is one of the disorders typically found to
  cause thyroid problems. This occurs when the thyroid is
 not producing enough of the hormones necessary for the
 previously mentioned body functions. And related to hair
    loss, hypothyroidism is a common cause of baldness.
 Often, a hairdresser can be the one to spot an increase in
 hair loss, but if you pay special attention in the shower as
 well and notice a greater-than-average amount of hair in
  the drain, then you should get yourself checked out by a
 medical professional. It's important to note other typical
      symptoms that occur with hypothyroidism as well
    including tiredness, cold intolerance, weight gain and
 sometimes mood swings because you could save yourself
from a lot of pain and worry by finding out the cause early
                            enough.
How Can I Treat My Hair Loss?
More often than not, hypothyroidism is treated using a
thyroid hormone replacement therapy. A patient will take
a daily dose of medication, such as the most common one,
 which is called levothyroxine. A person experiencing this
     disorder will usually have to continue taking this
    medication for the rest of his or her life. This type of
 treatment will take a few weeks to become effective and
   usually requires the tweaking of dosage over a testing
  period to determine the correct amount needed on an
                      individual basis.
In the meantime, a patient can only help the process along
 by eating a proper, nutritious diet of food that stimulates
    hair strength and growth and strength like proteins,
              omega-rich ingredients and iron.
