Does only Graves disease cause heterogeneous echotexture in thyroid lobes? Both my thyroid lobes are showing heterogeneous echotexture with a cyst in the right lobe of the thyroid.

Heterogeneous thyroid does not mean only Graves disease. It can happen in other common thyroid problems, too, like mild swelling, small nodules, or hormone issues. A small cyst in the thyroid is also quite common and usually not serious. Some simple blood tests can help you understand if your thyroid is working fine.

Question

I have been getting frequent bumps on my skin with allergies on them. I was initially diagnosed with scabies and took treatment, but it never fully cured, and this problem has been continuing for a year. I also have thyroiditis and was not prescribed any medicine, but my recent TSH test result came back as 14. What could be the cause, and what should I do?

Question

I have attached my recent thyroid blood test report. I am currently taking Thyronorm 100 mcg daily. Based on my report, could you please advise if my dosage should be adjusted?

Question

Dear Sir, My mother is an elderly patient with a history of dyspepsia, hypertension, and hypothyroidism. Her gallbladder was removed 8 years ago. She does not have diabetes, weighs around 95 kg, and is 68 years old. For the past 15 days, she has been experiencing pain in the groin area, which feels more like muscle or blood vessel pain rather than joint pain. I am wondering if this could be related to her elevated TSH level, which is reported as 7.8 in her latest lab report. She is currently taking Thyrox 100, Tazloc H 80, Metolar XR 50, Rose Day 10, and calcium supplements. I have attached her latest lab report and the most recent prescription for your reference. Please advise
