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.

I am taking tablets for thyroid of 25 mcg. My T3 and T4 are normal but my TSH is increased to 8.71. Last month, I suffered from dengue, so my doctor suggested taking 50 mcg. I have a doubt that my TSH may have increased because of dengue. Should I take 50 mcg or not?

I have been advised by my gynecologist to get a thyroid profile test and a serum prolactin test because my periods are not regular. I have also undergone a scan, which came out normal. I want to know if alcohol consumption will be detected in these tests.
