Nowadays, almost one in three people, but mostly women, suffer from a disorder in the\nfunctioning of the thyroid gland. When it is functioning properly, we don't even realise that\nwe have such an organ. However, when it is over- or under-producing - the latter is more\ncommon - it can have serious effects and symptoms.<\/p>\n
Typical symptoms of an overactive thyroid include an accelerated heartbeat, bulging eyes\nand goitre, an enlargement of the thyroid gland that can be felt with the hands. Rapid\nheartbeat can also have other serious consequences, so it is important to start taking the\nright medication as soon as possible. In addition to the pills, any lifestyle factors that may\npose a threat to blood pressure and the heart should be screened out. These include smoking,\nalcohol consumption and increased stress.<\/p>\n
A more complex symptom is the combined effect of having an underactive thyroid. After all, a\ndeficiency of something is always more obvious. If your thyroid gland is producing less\nhormone, you may have symptoms such as loss of appetite, weight gain despite your best\nefforts, frequent constipation, concentration problems and fatigue, irritability, exhaustion,\nreduced performance, depression, sensitivity to cold. Goitre may also occur in this case, but\nit is associated with a slower heart rate.
\nIn women, menstrual irregularities and infertility may also be signs of hypothyroidism.\nFortunately, this type of hormonal imbalance can be well treated with medication and\nartificial hormone replacement.<\/p>\n
What the two types of thyroid dysfunction have in common is that both are symptomatic of\nhair loss. Since thyroid hormones regulate, among other things, almost all metabolic\nprocesses in our body, this type of hormonal disorder is quickly visible in the skin and hair\nstructure. When the thyroid hormones (trioxin -T4, triiodothyronine - T3) are low, the hair\nbecomes thin, spindly and dull. The skin becomes dull and prone to dryness, including the\nscalp.<\/p>\n
Hormones also affect hair growth. Hormonal imbalances cause hairs to enter their resting\nphase earlier, so they fall out sooner than normal. Temporary hair loss is not concentrated in\none area, but occurs throughout the scalp. The good news is that this type of baldness can be\nreversed with thyroid medication.<\/p>\n
If you are experiencing signs of hair loss, it is definitely worth seeking professional help!\nFortunately, abnormal thyroid function can be detected quickly by blood tests, but there may\nbe more complex problems and diseases behind baldness.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
