Which Treatment Is Most Effective For Thyroid Problem

sir, i am 25yrs old girl. Last year I suffered from viral fever for one week in which i lost my weight for about 6 kgs. Later hair fall and acne has been started. My TSH came 5.50 whereas T3 and T4 are normal. should i go for thyroid treatment or not? Should I prefer homeopathy for it or allopathy? Whether I will have to take the medicine for my lifetime? Kindly reply

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hearing about this high TSH levels and the hair loss. However, I will suggest that you get this value controlled again since it has been over a year. If it should remain higher than normal, I will suggest that you strongly consider getting treated for hypothyroidism. Drugs are the best way to go and they are generally lifelong unless otherwise. Homeopathy measures can accompany the treatment and not constitute the main stem.

I hope you find this helpful. I wish you the best of health. Thank you so much for using our services and doo feel free to request for more information if need be.
