SPARSE Eyebrows can mean Hypothyroidism

If you're convinced that the beauty Gods have cursed you with sparse brows, think again. If your eyebrows have always been (or have suddenly become) very sparse, PARTICULARLY the hair on the tail-end of the brows, then you may want to call an ENDOCRINOLOGIST rather than your eyebrow specialist. I see clients in my Electrology practice EVERY DAY with hair-growth-symptoms that are red flags pertaining to hormonal changes. It seems random, however, thinning eyebrows is a sign of Hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's Disease. And if you think that visiting your General Practioner will do, I'm telling you that it will NOT. He will most likely order a "TSH" test ("thyroid stimulating hormone", which is a standard protocol), however, there are at least 4 other hormone tests that need to be administered and can only be done so by a Physician specializing in Hormonal Imbalance.
