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?

A TSH of 8.71 indicates mild hypothyroidism even if T3 and T4 are normal. Dengue can temporarily affect thyroid levels, but if TSH remains high, dose adjustment may be needed. As your doctor advised, you can start 50 mcg Thyroxine and recheck thyroid levels after 6-8 weeks. Monitor for symptoms like weakness, hair fall, or weight gain. You can book a Thyroid Profile test after 6-8 weeks to check dose effectiveness.

Take a Thyroid Profile (T3 T4 TSH) Test Test or Take a VITAMIN B12 AND FOLATE Test

View allWe have been trying to conceive for the past 2 years, and both my wife and I feel very stressed and emotional about it. Below are our medical details: My report: Semen analysis is generally good: 66 percent normal sperms, liquefaction time 20 minutes, and very good volume and motility. I initially experienced quick ejaculation (less than a minute). After consulting a doctor and undergoing Doppler and transrectal scans, it was confirmed that I do not have premature ejaculation. My semen seems very liquid, which I feel may contribute to the quick ejaculation. Could this affect fertility? My wife report: She has thyroid issues, initially 10 mIU/L two years ago, now 4.5 mIU/L after taking 75 mcg Thyronorm. Her menstrual cycle is 25 days, lasting 2 days, one day normal flow, one day light. Her doctor suggested a complete abdominal study. Ultrasound revealed two right paraovarian cysts of 6 cm each. We both also have leucoderma and low vitamin D levels. Could you please advise on the next steps to improve our chances of conception and manage these health issues?

Greetings Sir/Madam, My T3 and T4 levels appear to be normal, but my TSH level is high. What could this indicate? I have attached my thyroid test report.

I have booked an appointment on Saturday. I have TSH of 12 and T3 and T4 are normal but my report is two months old. Should I get my thyroid levels checked before consulting the doctor?
