right now my main concern is the hair loss, im pretty sure its related to my hormones, who should i go see for this, plzz help





thanks so much in advance|||You should start off by seeing an endocrinologist. They will be able to do a lot of blood work and tests for you then let you know where to go from there. My hair has been falling out for 2 years now too but im really not bothered to see an expert about it, not til i%26#039;m going bald anyway. Best of luck...|||Endocrinologist can check your thyroid function, but so can a regular family doctor. Have you seen your normal family doctor for any of your symptoms?|||I%26#039;d start off with your gen. practice doc.
