Hello, I have been taking Methimez 10 mg twice a day for hyperthyroidism for the past 5 months. I also have a thyroid nodule. Last week, my blood report showed a high increase in TSH level. What is the solution to bring my TSH back to normal?

A high TSH while on Methimez suggests possible overcorrection to hypothyroidism. Dose adjustment is needed. Consult your endocrinologist for repeat T3, T4, and dose revision.

I was diagnosed with thyroid 2 months ago but did not consult a doctor. Can I use the same 2 month old report to consult now, or do I need to get tested again?

My son thyroid test report shows a value of 5.50. The doctor says he is suffering from thyroid issues. Could you please clarify whether this result indicates a positive or negative thyroid condition?

I have irregular periods, and my blood report shows that my prolactin level is quite high. My gynecologist has prescribed tablets to help regulate my periods, but I am concerned about the elevated prolactin. Should this be treated separately, and what could be the reason for the high prolactin level?
