Suggest Treatment For Hair Loss With Hypothyroidism
I am having heavy hairfall which is not stopping at all. I am diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. And I am on medication (Thyronorm 125 mcg). Apart from that I am taking Finasteride 100mg (Finpecia) and Minoxidil topical solution. Still hairfall is there.

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
You have not mentioned your age/ sex and duration of treatment.
Hypothyrosism itself can cause hair fall. If you have been diagnosed recently, it will take some months for the hair fall to come back to normal.
Minoxidil and finasteride take 2-3 months to start acting and to show results.
Do continue the medications.
Other options to consider are microneedling/ mesotherapy, low level laser light therapy and peptides.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
