I was diagnosed with pcos like 2 years ago. They put me on a thyroid medicine and metformin and birth control. After being on all that for like a year my doctor suggested that we start trying. We tried and nothing but one night in February we just had fun and got crazy (tmi) well I am now 10+3 with my second child. My son is 4 years old. I didn't get diagnosed until after I had him.
Please get your thyroid function checked. It could also be due to overuse of AC and heaters. Some fresh air every day with lots of fluids should help.
Generalized itching can be due to allergy. Common allergens are pollen, mold, dust, pet dander, synthetic fiber, food, cosmetics (powders, soaps, shampoos—see if anything was recently changed) or drugs. You must get an allergy test done, either a skin test or RAST, to know what you are allergic to.
Its best to see a doctor specializing in hair disorders, because it can be various things that cause it. Stress may be a factor, but so can a thyroid imbalance, endocrine disorder, and iron deficiency. A blood test would be able to pinpoint the reason.
However, from personal experience, I learned that my unhealthy diet during college was causing my hair follicles to slow new growth.

showed that the mean age of the thyroid autoAb-positive women was not significantly different from that of thyroid autoAb-negative women.[24] Kontiainen et al. found an increase in the prevalence of TPO Abs with age, but this correlation was not statistically significant.[55] In a study conducted by Kutteh et al.
56/196 women (29%) with HT had coexistent PTC compared with 160/730 women (22%) without HT (P = 0.03). Among women with any type of thyroid malignancy, 56/59 cases (95%) with HT had PTC compared with 159/196 cases (81%) in women without HT (P = 0.006). Additionally, female HT patients WITH GOITERS had a significantly lower rate of PTC (9% versus 36%, P < 0.001) compared with women without goiters. These differences were not observed in men with HT.
HT is seven times more likely to occur in women than in men. Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), the most prevalent form of cancer in the thyroid, is 2.5 times more likely to develop in women than men. Given the relatively high prevalence of these diseases and the increased occurrence in women, we analyzed data from our institution to determine if there is a correlation between Hashimoto's thyroiditis and PTC in women.
Interestingly, in all hypothyroid women in this study, the polycystic ovary appearance completely disappeared when thyroid function was restored. Although many of the women experienced improved menstrual regularity, 50% of the women with polycystic ovaries still did not begin to cycle regularly.
As such, we can see that hypothyroidism can create an ovarian condition similar to PCOS, but the two conditions can also co-exist.
I recently found out, through thyroid ultrasound, that I have 4 nodules on my thyroid, one of which has a "punctate calcification". It is 6mm. I am a 34 yr old healthy male and need a Fine Needle Biopsy. There is no thyroid cancer in my family and no history of childhood radiation treatment or xrays, but my aunt had half of hers removed due to big nodules. Are all punctate calcifications cancerous? What percentage of them are cancerous? My last TSH reading was 1.71.
Hypothyroidism is much more prevalent among women than men, but there are lots of us that also have the problem. What kind of symptoms are you having? What med are you taking and what dosage? If you would also please post your thyroid test results and their reference ranges shown on the lab report, then members can assess the adequacy of your testing and treatment.
Researchers in Austria conducted a study involving 426 women aged 19 years or older who were undergoing surgery for benign thyroid disease (not on thyroid hormone replacement).
The number of reported symptoms was significantly higher among women with TPO antibody levels exceeding 121 IU/mL compared with women who had lower TPO antibody levels.
In 1994, a study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism looked at pregnant women with thyroid antibodies and TSH in the normal range. The study found that women with autoimmune thyroid disease had TSH values significantly higher, though still normal, in the first trimester than in women with healthy pregnancies used as controls.
The higher TSH level of the women with autoimmune thyroid disease? 1.6.
