Posted on Tue, 21 May 2013
Question: Hi ....I have asked a question on the website earlier and was satisfied with the reply. I am a married woman and my age is 30. In the year 2009, I got detected with hypothyroidism and I have symptoms like hair loss, tiredness, depression, irregular menstrual cycles, dry skin and hair, almost null sex drive. I have relocated to Bangalore in 2011 after my marriage and trying to find a good lady thyroid specialist in Bangalore but unable to find one. I want a lady thyroid specialist who is patient to listen in detail about my symptoms and guide me accordingly. Could you please suggest me a good lady thyroid specialist in Bangalore? I stay in Babusapalya, XXXXXXX nagar near Banaswadi, Bangaore, Karnataka.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
I appreciate your efforts for medical consultation in so much distress.

Important aspects of your query are:
•     30 year old female
•     Known case of Hypothyroidism
•     Complaints of: hair loss, tiredness, depression, irregular menstrual cycles, dry skin and hair and absent sex drive.
•     Searching for female doctor

Hypothyroidism can be treated by DM endocrinologist. If female DM doctor not available nearby your place, it can be treated MD General Medicine doctor. MD medicine doctors are very easy to find. You can ask for them in nearby hospitals.

Hypothyroidism is not difficult to treat. It is usually treated by thyroid hormone tablets like eltroxin. But important thing is regular treatment and thyroid hormone monitoring on prescribed interval. So, it is better to take consultation from nearest available physician.

Person with thyroid problem have increase risk of developing depression. If your depression do not resolve after one month of treatment of hypothyroidism, then it will be better to take psychiatrist opinion too for treatment of depression.

I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow ups.

Wish you good health.

Thanks for your reply and guidance doctor. I was wondering if you or your team can recommend few good DM endocrinologists in Bangalore. I am okay even if the location is not near my home. I mean, if I want to get sound treatment, I do not mind travelling within Bangalore to visit the doctor.
