I recently had a thyroid test, and my results are: TSH: 6 microIU/mL T3: 0.87 ng/mL T4: 5.83 microgram/dL Does this indicate hypothyroidism? Can my TSH, T3, and T4 levels return to normal without taking medication? If so, how many months might it take to achieve this naturally, and what steps should I follow?

Your TSH of 6 with low normal T3 and T4 suggests subclinical or mild hypothyroidism. If you have no major symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, or mood issues, you can try natural management for 3 to 6 months. Focus on a balanced diet, selenium-rich foods, stress control, exercise, and early sleep. Some people normalize without medicine, but others may need treatment later. Retest TSH, T3, and T4 after 3 months to assess progress.

View allI experienced heavy menstruation for two consecutive months, and my blood test showed that my TSH level was elevated to 7.2 microIU/mL. Following a friend medical advice, I have started taking Thyroxine Sodium 25 mcg tablets. Will this treatment help normalize my next menstrual cycle, or will I also need hormonal therapy? I am concerned about the possible side effects of hormonal treatment, such as weight gain. Please advise the best approach. I am attaching my reports for your review.
