I had thyroid problems, so I underwent surgery. My question is, do I still have to continue my thyroid tablets or not? Thank you.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
After thyroid surgery, most people need to continue thyroid tablets for life to maintain normal thyroid hormone levels, especially if the whole thyroid was removed. Stopping the tablet without your doctors advice can lead to hormone imbalance and symptoms like weakness, weight changes, or hair loss. You can book a Thyroid Profile (TSH, T3, T4) test to check your current thyroid status, and your doctor will adjust your dose if needed. Do not stop or change the dose without medical guidance.

View allI received my blood test report for a free thyroid test. My FT3 and FT4 levels are normal, but my TSH is 10 microIU/mL. What does this mean?
Answered by Apollo Doctors
Recently, I underwent the 86 test package and the report shows some blood parameters that are either above or below the normal range. I am not sure which specialist doctor I should consult. The main findings are: TSH is about three times higher than normal, and there are deficiencies in Vitamin B and Vitamin D. Kindly guide me on which specialist to visit.
