Question 1

Suffering hives on skin. Presently I am using Manjishtadi Kada and Haridrakhandam since last one week. My test report is Anti TPO 95 positive.

Question 2

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?

Question 3

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?

This indicates subclinical hypothyroidism. Dose may need to be increased. Please take a repeat TSH in 4to6 weeks and Anti-TPO antibodies.
