Hello, madam hair fall is one of the major and difficult symptoms of hypothyroidism. Along with this weight gain, swelling of face & lower limbs, irregular menstruation, excess flow, early fatigue, tiredness, intolerance to cold, anxiety, inability to concentrate, muscle and joint pains, dry skin and slow heart rate are the symptoms of hypothyroidism. To control hypothyroidism thyroxine tablets have to be taken daily, dose will depend upon body weight, tsh level and t4 level. Plus regular exercise is needed to avoid weight gain. Certain foods like soy beans, soy containing products, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, radish, peanuts, mustard and coffee to be avoided. Also avoid refined flour like maida and bakery items. Consume more of green leafy vegetables and fruits. Thanks.
