Hair loss: Hair loss, or alopecia, is an autoimmune process which affects more women than men. It is sometimes associated with hypothyroidism. While sudden severe weight loss could trigger hair loss (telogen effluvium), it is unlikely that a healthy weight loss regimen would cause this. Hair loss is distressing but often resolves itself. A dermatologist can offer treatment.
