Hello,
* Hair loss and weight gain are due to thyroid level fluctuations and the same will be reverting back to normal once the thyroid levels are controlled.
* the Supportive role of minoxidil local application, supplements of antioxidants, multivitamins, minerals, vitamin A and dietary measures with regular exercises help great.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
