Hi, it has been two months since I gave birth to a baby girl. During my pregnancy, I had thyroid issues. One month after delivery, I took a thyroid test, and the result was normal, so I stopped taking the tablets. I want to know whether I need to continue the tablets or take the thyroid test again to confirm if it is still normal. Is it also necessary to test my baby thyroid? I am attaching my thyroid result.

Thyroid levels can fluctuate after delivery, especially if you had pregnancy related thyroid issues. Even if one test was normal, its best to recheck thyroid (TSH, T3, T4) after stopping medication. Do not stop thyroid medicine permanently without doctor guidance. In most cases, thyroid testing in the baby is not needed unless advised.

My son is 15 years old. His blood report shows TSH greater than 150. He weighs 70 kg and is 5.6 inches tall. He looks normal and active and plays games like kabaddi volleyball and cricket. The doctor prescribed Tyronorm 100 mg. Is that much dose required and can it be cured?

Question

Hi doctors. I have done TSH testing for the first time. My report shows 33.574. I do not have any symptoms of high TSH. I am not able to understand why it is high. Should I do another TSH test?
