My thyroid function test shows TSH of 4.90?microIU/mL. I have been experiencing hair loss for the past two months, and my hairline has receded significantly. Could this hair loss be due to my thyroid levels?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A TSH of 4.90 is on the higher end of normal borderline for hypothyroidism. Hair loss and receding hairline can be linked to even mild thyroid imbalance. Its helpful to check T3 and T4 levels too for a full picture. Other causes like stress, low iron, or vitamin D/B12 deficiency can also affect hair. Repeat thyroid profile and basic nutrient tests.

Take a Thyroid Profile (T3 T4 TSH) Test Test or Take a Vitamin D Test Test

View allI took a thyroid test due to hair loss. My blood report shows normal T3 (73 ng) and T4 (9 microgram) levels, but TSH is slightly elevated at 7.46 microIU. Is this normal? Could this be the cause of my hair loss? Do I need any medication to control the TSH level? Please suggest.

Hello, I had hypothyroidism during my pregnancy with TSH 11.5, and my gynecologist suggested taking 100 mcg of Thyronorm (while I had been taking 75 mcg before). Now, post delivery, my TSH value is 0.014, which seems like hyperthyroidism. Can you please tell me if this is dangerous and what the cause might be? My calcium levels are borderline low, and my vitamin D levels have also decreased. Will this affect my baby (2.5 months old) as I am breastfeeding? My gynecologist, after looking at my report, changed the Thyronorm dosage from 100 mcg back to 75 mcg. How frequently should I do a thyroid test, and is there anything I need to worry about? Can my pituitary gland become normal post pregnancy?
