Yes, hypothyroidism can cause hair loss. It is important to ensure that the thyroid medication dosage is appropriate, as both an underactive thyroid and an overactive thyroid can contribute to hair loss. Monitoring thyroid levels through blood tests is essential to adjust treatment as needed. Stress or physical conditions such as arthritis can also play a role in hair loss, which may resolve over time. If hair loss is localized or persistent, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional.
