Brief Answer:
Suggestions below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,
I appreciate your concern about your wife.


1.Weight loss:
She should eat small meals more times like 4-5 times a day.
Avoid oily, fried, junk food.
She should eat healthy vegetables, salads and fresh fruits.
I suggest her to eat high fiber contains food like oats. She should add cereals, nuts like almonds to her diet.
She can do mild abdominal or other exercises if she delivered 3 months ago.

2. Thyroid:
She should continue thyronorm. Dosage depends upon her tsh levels.
I would suggest you continue medication and repeat test after 3 months, if tsh level reduce, then you can decrease the dosage of medication with doctor advise.

3. Hair loss: Hair loss most common after delivery. If it is < 100 in numbers then need not worry which is considered as normal hair fall.
If she is having dandruff she should use 2% ketoconazol shampoo. Apply it over scalp and wait for 2 minutes then wash it.
I also suggest her multivitamin tablets after lunch for 2 moths.
Along with that she should eat protein rich food.
I suggest you check her hemoglobin level sometimes anemia can increase hair loss.


If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
Thank you.
