Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
The thyroid gland is a butterfly shaped organ that is located in the front of the neck just below the adam apple. It is found in front of the trachea 2nd, 3rd and 4th cartilaginous spaces.
Each side or lobe of the thyroid is normally 4 to 6 cm in length and 1.3 to 1.8 cm in thickness.
Low levels of thyroid hormone can cause hair loss , decreased energy and dry skin.
These symptoms may indicate that your level of synthroid needs to be increased further.
Your doctor will check your thyroid hormone levels to see if this is the case.
I hope this helps
