Hello,

1. You need to take the test for confirming the thyroid hormone imbalance

The test name is TSH if it comes beyond 12 then you need to start taking medicine for that which comes by the name of thyronorm and according to your thyroid levels, the doctor should prescribe the dose of the drug to be taken.

2. The hair fall problem could be because of many other causes like environmental changes, dryness.

3. In hypothyroidism hair, follicles get destroyed which causes hair to fall.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
