Thyroid problem
Hi doctor
I attached my thyroid report below for your valuable consideration, doctor can you please check and let me know what the exact problem is. Am consuming Thyrox-25mg for the past 2 year, because I got this thyroid problem when I was pregnant. So doctor suggested this medicine. Recent days am finding severe hair fall which is very high than the usual. So please let me what to take to reduce the thyroid level. What type of thyroid is this?
