Is Loss Of Hair Due To Hormonal Imbalance?

Hi, I am 34 years old and have 3 kids. Since my youngest, my 3 year old was born I have been losing hair. But recently it is too much and my hair is so thin now and brittle. I checked my thyroid and its 4.17. Is that too high or could it be a hormonal imbalance?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The normal TSH level is 0.4 to 4 milli International units per liter. I would request you to send me the your other levels as well like T3-T4 as well. There are many reasons for hair fall and thinning and brittle hair: food intake & nutrition level/hormonal changes like reproductive hormones and thyroid hormones/lifestyle/stress/weather/hair products to name a few.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Smruti Pevekar
