Hi Doctor, My mother is 50 years old. We recently did a complete blood test for her. Overall, her health is fine, and she is not on any medications. Most of her test results are normal, but her thyroid hormone (TSH) is 6.09, which concerns me. Could you please advise your suggestions? Should we visit a doctor for this?

TSH 6.09 is slightly high. If your mother has no symptoms, its likely subclinical hypothyroidism. Monitor TSH and check T3, T4 after 6 to 8 weeks. Treatment may not be needed unless symptoms appear.

I have been experiencing skin rashes on and off for the past 3 months and used Montair LC or Cetirizine whenever they appeared. When I visited a dermatologist, he prescribed an anti allergic medication for a month and suggested some tests. In those tests, my TSH came out as 7.5 microIU/mL.

I am a thyroid patient and I am taking Thyronorm 25 mg regularly. This time, my report shows that my TSH level has increased to 6.90. I am also experiencing symptoms such as excessive hair fall, mood swings, and constant fatigue.

I had an ultrasound of my neck. My report says the left lobe is enlarged with a cystic lesion of size 20 x 23 mm having separation and echogenic content. The impression is a colloid cyst in the left lobe with an enlarged left thyroid lobe. What does this mean?
