A member asked:
Is hair loss caused by anemia or thyroid reversible? i am suffering from heavy bleeding for almost 20 years now and see visible hair loss.

Usually yes: Usually it is reversible but you have to correct the underlying cause such as replacing iron adequately and supplement thyroid hormone.. Good luck

Hair Loss: Hair loss caused by thyroid disease and or anemia causes a telogen effluvium which is reversible if the anemia and thyroid disease is controlled.
