As per my blood test report, my thyroid is 6.60 and MPV is 13.30. Should I take medicine for both? If yes, which medicine should I take?

TSH of 6.6 suggests hypothyroidism. MPV usually doesnt need treatment. Consult your doctor to start or adjust thyroxine.

I have thyroid. I started taking 50 mcg tablet, then later increased to 75 mcg and now it is 100 mcg. Please advise as I am putting on more weight. The values in my report seem to fall within the proper range. Please advise and refer me to an endocrinologist?

Hello Doctor, I am a thyroid patient (hypothyroidism) and take my medication regularly. However, I have been experiencing severe hyperpigmentation, and it seems to be worsening day by day. Could you please advise on the possible causes and what can be done to manage it?
