I am 32 years old, married, and have hypothyroidism. I take 50 mcg of medication every day. Over the last few months, I have noticed that my periods end on the second day, with no flow on the third day and only light spotting on the fourth day. The flow is very light, I could manage with one pad for the whole day, though I usually do not. My periods are regular and always on time. My recent thyroid test results are: TSH: 5.55 T3: 1.06 T4: 6.30 Is this normal?

TSH is slightly raised indicating subclinical hypothyroidism. Period pattern may relate. Please take AntiTPO Antibody test to check autoimmune thyroid. Take the test to confirm thyroid autoimmunity.

I am suffering from alopecia areata with hair loss from the scalp, stomach, chest, legs, pubic region, and beard. My doctor prescribed Minoxidil 10 percent and told me this is due to stress. Now I am also seeing hair loss from the crown portion of the head. The doctor told me it is male pattern baldness. I do not understand what I should do as hair fall is increasing day by day. Is this incurable? This situation is making me more stressed. My blood test report is fine except TSH, which is 0.34. Should I try natural remedies like onion juice and others?

My prospective partner, age 41, says he has hypothyroidism and will be taking medicine lifelong. He is currently on Thyronorm 25 mg. He says it is genetic with half his family having the condition. A test report shows T3 and T4 within range, but TSH was 5.62 with a normal range of 0.35 to 5.5. The latest report from January shows T3 110 ng/dl, T4 9.2 g/dl, and TSH 3.68 IU/ml, all within normal range. The comments suggest that Thyronorm should be continued. Since the report shows that TSH was only slightly out of range subclinically, why does he have to take medicine all his life? Could it be that he has not shared all the reports and is sharing only those that show near normal results? At what levels of TSH is the condition called hypothyroidism and Thyronorm prescribed for life?
