Hi, I have noticed bald patches on my beard and scalp. I consulted a doctor, and they advised me to do blood tests for Fasting Glucose, TSH, and Serum Anti TPO. I have done the tests, and the results are, Fasting Glucose is 93, TSH is 6.039, and Anti TPO is greater than 1300. After getting the report, I did not get a chance to consult the doctor again. I searched on the Internet and found that it may be related to thyroid problems.

High TSH and Anti TPO indicate autoimmune thyroid (likely Hashimoto). Consult an endocrinologist.

Hi, I recently got my thyroid checked after delivery (I delivered a baby a year ago). My report shows TSH is 4.26. I want to know if this is normal or if I need any medication. P.S. The sample was taken on an empty stomach in the morning.

I got my report today. It says LH level 13.36, Prolactin 28.45 and TSH 5.970. What does it mean? Do I have infertility?

I recently got my thyroid checked for the first time. My report shows T4 slightly higher than the reference range by 0.1. Should I consult a doctor for this?
