Are hair loss and infertility symptoms of hypothyroidism?

Patient's question:

A 26-year-old woman has been married for many years and has been actively trying to conceive with her husband, but she has not received any good news. She is very anxious. Please ask: Is hair loss associated with infertility a symptom of hypothyroidism?

Doctor's answer:

The symptoms mentioned above are all related to hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is a disease characterized by reduced catabolism due to increased production and excretion of thyroid hormones or insufficient physiological effects of these hormones. The causes of hypothyroidism are complex, with primary hypothyroidism being most common, followed by pituitary hypothyroidism. The other causes are relatively rare. The main treatment for hypothyroidism is medication, which helps to compensate for the body's insufficient thyroid hormone levels. During the treatment process, patients need to have regular check-ups, and the medication dosage should be adjusted appropriately based on the results of these check-ups.
