What Are Your Opinion For Thyroid And Its Symptoms?

Hi, I have several symptoms that are of concern and everything I read points to the thyroid, what's your opinion?

I have hair loss, my skin tends to be dry, especially in my face. I have to put extra oil on my face just to keep it somewhat moist.

I get tired easily. I have constipation. My periods seem to be getting a little longer.

Vaginal dryness and very frequent infections of bacterial vaginosis.

My memory is also not as sharp, I have difficulty coming up with words sometimes.

I feel cold and hot within just a few minutes of each other.

I am 39 years old.
