What does thyroid hair loss look like?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Hair loss may develop slowly with hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. You won't necessarily notice patches missing or bald spots. Instead, your hair may seem thinner all over. You lose between 50 and 100 hairs from your head each day.

View allI'm a 23-year-old guy, and I've noticed an issue with my chest. It's starting to look like it's growing similar to a girl's breasts. I'm really concerned about this and unsure what steps to take next. Could you advise me on what might be happening or what I should do about it?
it might be due to hormonal changes, monitor for other features like reduced beard, short height, if so refer to gynecologist

I'm dealing with slightly elevated thyroid levels and I'm on Eltroxin 75 mg. I'm working on losing weightI'm going to the gym every day and I've lost a decent amount so far, but now my weight loss has stalled. Someone suggested I try creatine to boost my weightlifting and help burn more fat. The thing is, I'm not sure if it's safe with my thyroid situation. I also drink a lot of water, about 67 liters daily, in case that matters. Do you think creatine would be okay for me to use?
Since you are taking Eltroxin and are focusing on weight loss and fitness, adding creatine to your regimen can be safe

Is tea bad for thyroid?
There are different types of thyroid disorders ranging from hypo or hyperthyroidism to thyroid cancer, each needing different diet restrictions. On a general note, research has shown that green tea and black tea (Green > black) both have goitrogenic and antithyroidal properties. On the other hand, few studies have shown that tea can reduce risk of thyroid cancer. More detailed studies are needed in this area. Hence, it is best to avoid tea or take it in moderation along with regular check on thyroid tests.
