My wife is pregnant with a duration of one month and twenty four days. We consulted a gynecologist and did some blood and urine tests. In the test report my wife TSH shows 10.6 which is beyond the normal range of 2 to 4.68. We called the doctor and they said to please consult with the nearest physician for TSH treatment to start, but due to lockdown the nearest physician is not available. Please suggest any medicine for TSH control? I have attached the test report. Is there any further abnormality? Please do the needful. Thank you.

A TSH of 10.6 is high and needs urgent management in pregnancy to avoid fetal harm. Levothyroxine may be prescribed, but only after full thyroid evaluation. Please repeat a Thyroid Profile with TPO antibodies before starting medication.

Hi, I am a 21 year old female and have been suffering from PCOD. I recently checked my thyroid function, and my blood report shows: T3: 79 ng/dl (normal 60 to 200) T4: 1.5 microgram/dl (normal 4.5 to 12) TSH: more than 150 microIU/ml (normal 0.3 to 5.5) Dear Doctor, please explain what my problem is, how it can be managed, and which medications I should take.

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?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My mother in law was prescribed Thyronorm 50 mcg for hypothyroidism. Should she continue with the same medication? The latest thyroid panel report is as follows: Tri Iodothyronine Total or TT3 0.76 ng per mL, reference range 0.87 to 1.78, Thyroxine Total or TT4 10.960 ug per dL, reference range 6.09 to 12.23; Thyroid Stimulating Hormone 4.676 uIU per mL, reference range 0.34 to 5.60.
