A member asked:
What is a fibroid capsule ? also , can thyroids and fibroids cause loss of hair-head in african american women?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Capsule: Fibroids are uterine smooth muscle tumors (leiomyomas), and are round tumors without a capsule. Thyroid tumors can be encapsulated. Neither has anything to do with hair loss. However, thyroid disease, both hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) and hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) can result in hair loss. Discuss with your doctor.
