Not just hair loss, I have Graves’ disease and have always had straight hair. Until a few months ago, when I remove hair from my brush, the ends of my hair are squiggly for the last 3-4 inches of each strand. But when I look at my long hair in a pony tail, I don’t see it squiggly at all.
This ^ is what I need to know I've tried about everything and I want to have healthy hair but I can't find anything that helps even regular checkups medications. And trying what others suggest for healthy hair I'm so sad I keep losing more and more hair
I got a small patch on back on my head .I visited dermatologist ,he said it is alopecia areata and suggested me to take thyroid test once .Can someone please tell me which type of thyroid test to be taken in this scenario??
I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism decades ago. Dr. treated it with a radioactive pill and killed off too much of my thyroid so now I have hypothyroidism. Been taking levothyroxine for years which as I understand causes hair loss also. Needless to say, I’ve had hair loss problems all my life even when my Tsh level is good.
I have subclinical hyperthyroidism. T3 t4 okay. Tsh .3. Hair loss is minimal but it's there. We're you hungry when it was fast? I feel ravenous and it's frustrating.
bro my whole body hairs are falling is that thyroid condition? also i gained 18kg in last 2.5 months 😢 tell me bro am also lossing hair from my head legs nd evy brow am 22 yrs old n these things gaving me heart attacks pls respond to me 😭😭
What are good shampoo and conditioner brands to use? I’ve only recently learned about brands causing hairloss and that there’s quite a few brands that are responsible for such results. I have noticed a very slowly loss of my hair and slight thinning around my head probably for using these products, I am now questioning if I need finasteride or not right now. A list of brands that you guys think are reliable would be good.
Hi rythmyth what i do ever 3 nights i massage coconut oil on scalp and comb through the rest of hair leave overnight rinse the next day and wash and condition with Kerastase/ Densifique femme shampoo and conditioner for fine hair it leaves my hair so soft and looks fuller with less hair fall out ,hope this helps you ❤
My Graves disease has been in remission for years. That was until I started supplementing iodine drops. Thanks Dr. Brownstein! I started taking the drops because of weight gain and feeling sluggish. After a month of high dose iodine, my hair is falling out in clumps. I'm wearing a beanie like a cancer patient. The hair loss is so bad. My hair is dry and brittle. Just a month ago before starting iodine, my hair was gorgeous. This just kills my spirit all this thyroid hair loss. 😢 I'm back taking bugleweed and motherswort trying to slow my thyroid down and regulate it once again.
Well, I’ve lived long enough to say that after spending *thousands* of dollars over the years on every kind of supplement sold in the US, I heartily DO NOT recommend them anymore! - Not unless your board-certified physician says it’s fine. They’re usually ineffective, subject to all sorts of breathless hype & false advertising, & can mess with your health in several ways.
Did you see a dermatologist? I ask because in 2020 I suddenly started losing my hair. After seeing six doctors I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that attacks hair follicles on my scalp and eye eyebrows
I had alopecia areata (spotty baldness) 30 yrs ago. Grew back in about 4 or 5 mos. Found out my paternal grandfather had it too with same outcome. Unnerving aspect is you don’t know if will get worse or resolve. Returns in one out of 3 cases . Me no. No known cause. No real treatment. Topicals make you feel better but not maybe effective. Shot in skull ugh. Hang in there. You are not your hair.
I have hypothyroidism and have been taking armour thyroid meds for fifty years. When I have my blood work done they say that my thyroid is fine but do not take me off the meds. I have recently began to have my hair thinning and coming out.
Hair loss on its own is unfortunately very common in healthy aging women due to inherited genetic sensitivity or, more rarely, a very poor diet: low vitamins, minerals- hence the popularity (& wishful thinking) of nutritional supplements. But they offer no results for most.
it should be noted that thyroid related hair loss is different, especially apparent on the eyebrows. I have been on levothyroxine for a decade and havent noticed any thyroid related loss but I do have aga
Loosing my hair and trying to figure out if it’s thyroid issue I was told one sized on right thyroid is larger than other sized so I wonder if my hair thinning and lost is due to that. Can any one help . TY😊
I take thyroid meds and I have hairfall. But I recently got a new IUD , the Mirena, and my hair is falling more than ever, looking so thin. Can you do a video on possible effects of the hormonal IUD on the hair?
I'm going to buy some wigs and finally have some fun. My hair hasn't stopped falling out. It grows but it doesn't around the hairline, bangs and top so I can't really achieve any kind of different fun looks.
Instead of stopping minoxidil abruptly can I stop it gradually (from applying 3 times a week to 2 times then 1 time and then gradually discontinuing) will my hair fall off?
Yes, discontinuing minoxidil will hair fall off because you have still underlying cause of androgen DHT that circulates in the body and attached to hairfollicles overtime, or it could be result by external factors such as severe nutritional deficiencies.
@@TheRevaknightDutasteride proven to increases testosterone 30% in men while finasteride increases 10-15%. Dutasteride lower DHT level up to 70 % and therefore it raises free testosterone
Dutasteride blocks Testosterone from turning into DHT which is the causeof androgenetic hair loss. Since it is blocked from turning into DHT there is more testosterone then there would have been because it was not converted. This higher level of testosterone shouldn't be a cause for concern.

Can you stop the iodine? I thought when it's fast, you are getting too much and should avoid it?

*300 strands everyday what the heck 😢*
I literally woke up with a small patch on the top of my head it came out of no where
Did you see a dermatologist? I ask because in 2020 I suddenly started losing my hair. After seeing six doctors I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that attacks hair follicles on my scalp and eye eyebrows
That sounds like alopecia areata. An autoimmune disorder that attacks the hair follicles in a circular pattern,
I had alopecia areata (spotty baldness) 30 yrs ago. Grew back in about 4 or 5 mos. Found out my paternal grandfather had it too with same outcome.

Which test should we take to check out thyroid levels?
TSH, T3, T4, Anti TPO
Anti TG also

Hi Doc, thanks for the video, i would like to know if we take finasteride 1mg for AGA in 20s or 30s will it also prevent prostate enlargement?
it should be noted that thyroid related hair loss is different, especially apparent on the eyebrows. I have been on levothyroxine for a decade and havent noticed any thyroid related loss but I do have aga
You have aga? What’s that?
Androgenic alopolecia
hi, just want to know if i can have a hair transplant if my TSH level is on the borderline?
my TSH level result is 4.1, and FT3 and FT4 is within the normal range
So what ?
Loosing my hair and trying to figure out if it’s thyroid issue I was told one sized on right thyroid is larger than other sized so I wonder if my hair thinning and lost is due to that. Can any one help . TY😊
