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.

No, alcohol is not detected in a thyroid profile or serum prolactin test. These tests are only used to check your hormone levels, especially since your periods are irregular. A normal scan is reassuring, and these tests will help your doctor decide if your hormones are playing a role. You can safely book and take the tests without worrying about alcohol being traced.

Namaste sir, my name is Uma. I am using Thyiox 62.5 MCG since 6 months. Yesterday I did a thyroid test. Please see my report and suggest whether to use the same dose or make any changes?

I received my thyroid test report today. Could you please review it and let me know if the results are normal?

I was diagnosed with thyroid issues during pregnancy. I delivered in March, and one month later, my TSH was 6.32. My doctor advised me to continue Thyronorm for the next 3 months. Two days ago, I rechecked my thyroid, and my TSH has doubled. I am concerned about whether this will affect my baby, as I am breastfeeding. I have read that thyroid levels can affect a baby IQ, is this true?
