You can not come to any conclusion based on just one symptom, or you can only if it is specific for a disease. But, hair loss is seen in so many disorders. Apart from hypothyroidism it can be noticed in some anemia, thrush diseases of the skull, in treatment with some medications or radiotherapy. You need to check for other symptoms to be able to distinguish the reason of the disorder. In hypothyroidism hair becomes thinner and finer, and may stop growing entirely. in can also be seen in hyperthyroid patients, and sometimes it doesn’t respond to the therapy no matter how high is the dose.
