how much hair are you suppose to loser per hour?

Question

I dunno if its my shampoo or thyroid med or maybe i am just thinking it is not normal when maybe it is

Answer 1

What thyroid med are you on? I am on Synthroid at .150 per day because I had my thyroid removed.

I was losing hair when I had my radiation treatment but not like, balding. It was just falling out and thinning a lot. Then, I was on the med for like a year before my hair started getting thick again. If you are settled in your med level (like, havent changed dosage in the past 12 weeks) then you shouldp probably talk to your doctor. If you have been getting blood tests and havent been on your correct dosage yet then I wouldn't worry about it too much. It is a side effect of hypothyroidism. It will change with time and the correct dosage of medication. It takes a long time for your body to adjust once your dosage has been increased, so be patient.

If you don't see results, maybe you should see a new doctor who knows what s/he is talking about! :)

Answer 2

I hope there's no set figure in numbers-per-hour: it sounds like a speed limit!

Your thyroid medication is probably not the problem.

What it DOES sound like is hormone imbalance, where there's not enough progesterone. This imbalance occurs in any woman at any age. Doctors don't discuss it much, since all the advertising and marketing information from drug companies focuses on their flavor of patented (and mostly harmful) estrogen drugs.

There are several websites you might look at, some with off-putting names like www.safemenopausesolutions. com., which I helped to edit.

The real genius found in that site is a doctor named Dr. John Lee (he has his own site), who wrote 3 books on the subject that every woman should read on the topic.

Female hormone imbalance has 4 primary symptoms: Hair loss on the top of the head, growth of female facial hair, bloating of the body, and/or painful or argumentative menstrual cramps. Endometriosis is also a symptom, which doctors like to fix with exceedingly expensive surgery, and then it typically grows back to be "fixed" again.

Any one of these can occur and be a bonafide symptom of a real problem, or some or all can occur simultaneously.

Almost Finally - your doctor will not tell you much about progesterone, except that "it doesn't amount to much" or "isn't important". That's a sure sign of a doctor who doesn't know what they're talking about. They also want to do as many endometriosis surgeries as possible.

In addition, there are no prescription progesterone sources for a doctor to prescribe, since it's a natural substance found in all human beings everywhere. You can buy it over the counter at most drug stores. And its application is as simple as the nicotine patch or other birth control hormones which are both applied to the skin.

Finally - your health is YOUR responsibility, not your doctor's. All the doctor does is recommend treatment, when you approve, and he or she then supplies. It's YOUR body, not the doctor's. YOU decide.

Get information. Make decisions yourself. Good luck.

Answer 3

I just read an article saying women normally lose approx. 100-200 hairs per day. Blondes tend to lose a higher number than darker. I believe red is less than blonde.
Blow drying, more than drying normal.
Hope this helps.
