I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in the early stage (borderline), and my doctor prescribed Thyronorm 25 mg. I took the medicine only for one month and then stopped. Now I am planning for my second pregnancy. Will hyperthyroidism affect my pregnancy? Is it necessary to continue thyroid medication, or can I manage without it?

Borderline hyperthyroidism can affect fertility. You should restart thyroid medicine before planning pregnancy. Check current levels with Thyroid Profile. Untreated thyroid can impact babys development.

Dr. Shaik Suggests...

Take a Thyroid Profile (T3 T4 TSH) Test Test or Take a THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES (ANTI MICROSOMAL ANTIBODIES) Test

Question

I recently went for a blood test, and my results were: TSH 143.67 mIU/L, T3 70 ng/dL, and T4 4.8 microgram/dL. On the advice of my family doctor, I repeated the test because there is no history of thyroid issues in my family. The second test showed: T3 1.8 nmol/L, T4 65.7 nmol/L, and TSH 58.6 mIU/L. I am concerned about why the results vary so much. Should I continue consulting my general physician, or should I see a specialist? I am experiencing all the thyroid related symptoms as explained by my doctor. Kindly advise.
