Endocrine disorders that can cause hair loss include androgenetic alopecia, hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism. Patients can be treated with drugs such as finasteride, spironolactone, propylthiouracil and levothyroxine.
1. Androgenetic alopecia: Androgenetic alopecia is one of the common factors causing hair loss. Male patients can be treated with finasteride, while female patients can be treated with spironolactone and other drugs that inhibit androgens to a mild degree.
2. Hyperthyroidism: excessive secretion of thyroid hormones will shorten the growth cycle of hair follicles, thus leading to hair loss. Patients can be treated with anti-thyroid hormones such as methimazole and propylthiouracil.
