I am a 38 years old married female with a 6 years old child. I have attached my recent T3, T4, and TSH test report. I am not getting periods for the last 5 months. UPT is negative. I have excessive swelling of the abdomen, hands, and legs. Please advise, which specialist should I consult? I am on thyroxine 100 mg and I am a thyroid patient for the last 15 years.

This could suggest hypothyroidism related fluid retention or early menopause. Prolonged amenorrhea with swelling should be evaluated by an endocrinologist and gynecologist to rule out hormonal imbalance or organ dysfunction. Please repeat the thyroid panel and add FSH/LH.
