Hello Dr. raj. I got my thyroid gland radiated in 2003. So I don?t have a gland anymore. Since then i?ve been taking levothyroxine 75 mcg for a long time. The last four years they increased my dose to 88, 100, 112,125.last blood work I had on december 3rd .showed that my thyroid hormone was very high. And the last three months i?ve been losing a lot of hair. Last month they told me too start taking 137 mcg. I just started on this high those 3 days ago but my hair is coming out really bad. Can you please help me?

Hair fall is very common amongst women as compared to men. Severe hairfall can not only make you look bald, but also impact your self-esteem negatively. There are several causes of hair fall ranging from minor dietary issues (iron and vitamin B12 deficiency) to major issues like poor thyroid function, depression, etc. Mental stress alone can cause significant hair fall. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment.
