I am 23 years old and suffering from hypothyroidism. I often feel cold at normal temperatures, feel lazy, have thinning hair, and tend to forget things. I understand these are symptoms caused by low thyroid hormone production. My report shows a TSH of 456, whereas the normal range should be around 3 to 6. I have consulted a doctor and am taking prescribed medication. My concerns are: Can hypothyroidism be completely cured? Will my hair and cognitive function (thinking/memory) return to normal once it is treated?

Hypothyroidism is manageable, not fully curable. With correct meds, symptoms like memory and hair can improve. Regular monitoring needed.

Hello doctor. This is my ultrasound report of the neck. Please check if it is normal. What is the treatment for this. Do I need any treatment for this. Is this malignant?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Please take a look at my blood report. My TSH level is high, but T3 and T4 are within the normal range. I have also been experiencing hair loss.
