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.

Good afternoon sir. My husband got his blood test in November 2017 and was detected with thyroid issues, but he was not taking any medicines prescribed by the doctor as he was very sure that it was normal and he could control his TSH level. Recently, when he got his blood test report again after feeling fatigue and loss of appetite, the report showed that his TSH level is 8.2. The doctor has advised him to take medicine for lifetime and prescribed a 10 mg tablet. My husband is still not sure if this TSH level is high for his age and whether he should take the 10 mg medicine or not? Kindly guide.

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?
