Question 1

Good afternoon sir. My husband got his blood test in November 2017 and was detected with thyroid issues, but he was not taking any medicines prescribed by the doctor as he was very sure that it was normal and he could control his TSH level. Recently, when he got his blood test report again after feeling fatigue and loss of appetite, the report showed that his TSH level is 8.2. The doctor has advised him to take medicine for lifetime and prescribed a 10 mg tablet. My husband is still not sure if this TSH level is high for his age and whether he should take the 10 mg medicine or not? Kindly guide.

Question 2

I am 32 years old, married, and have hypothyroidism. I take 50 mcg of medication every day. Over the last few months, I have noticed that my periods end on the second day, with no flow on the third day and only light spotting on the fourth day. The flow is very light, I could manage with one pad for the whole day, though I usually do not. My periods are regular and always on time. My recent thyroid test results are:
TSH: 5.55
T3: 1.06
T4: 6.30
Is this normal?

Question 3

This is regarding the health of my friend, whose blood report indicates hyperthyroidism. I would like to know whether this is a serious condition or a common disorder that can be treated easily, and if it could potentially cause major health problems in the future. He is 31 years old, and his test results show Microsomal TPO is 242.15, Thyroglobulin ATG is 848.47, HbA1C is 5.2, and glucose is 102.54.

TSH is borderline low; monitor. Alopecia areata is autoimmune and often stress linked. Male pattern baldness is genetic. Onion juice may help mildly. Please test Anti TPO antibodies to assess thyroid autoimmunity.
