Hair loss due to Thyroid
I have been recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism and on levothyroxine 75 mcg for about 2.5 months. The TSH levels are gradually coming down....from 13 to 6, but I'm having severe hair fall. I know hypothyroidism causes hair fall and medication can also contribute to some extent...but I want to how long does it take for hair fall to be controlled, any suggestions or precautions to be taken for a better resolution. This is bothering me a lot..please advice.

Treatment depends on the grade of hair loss. So, it's a must for diagnosing which grade, you are in for an effective treatment. Please send photos of your head, by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.
