Question 1

Hello, I am Anushka Bhattacharya. I want to get myself tested to check if I have a thyroid problem and for insulin resistance. Which tests should I opt for? Kindly guide me.

Question 2

Hi Doctor, I have been dealing with a mild thyroid issue (TSH 5.0) for the past 8 months. Recently, I noticed dry skin, so I repeated the thyroid test, and now my TSH is 7.8. How concerning is this? Can it be managed through nutrition, meditation, and exercise, or should I consult a doctor as soon as possible? I would greatly appreciate your advice. Please refer to the attached screenshot of my test report.

Question 3

We have been trying to conceive for the past 2 years, and both my wife and I feel very stressed and emotional about it. Below are our medical details:
My report: Semen analysis is generally good: 66 percent normal sperms, liquefaction time 20 minutes, and very good volume and motility. I initially experienced quick ejaculation (less than a minute). After consulting a doctor and undergoing Doppler and transrectal scans, it was confirmed that I do not have premature ejaculation. My semen seems very liquid, which I feel may contribute to the quick ejaculation. Could this affect fertility?
My wife report: She has thyroid issues, initially 10 mIU/L two years ago, now 4.5 mIU/L after taking 75 mcg Thyronorm. Her menstrual cycle is 25 days, lasting 2 days, one day normal flow, one day light. Her doctor suggested a complete abdominal study. Ultrasound revealed two right paraovarian cysts of 6 cm each.
We both also have leucoderma and low vitamin D levels. Could you please advise on the next steps to improve our chances of conception and manage these health issues?

Hi. My niece is suffering from hypothyroidism. It is quite surprising to see her blood test report. Her TSH is 105.540, T3 is 87.34 and T4 is 5.6. Can you please suggest?

Very high TSH indicates severe hypothyroidism despite normal T3/T4. She must see an endocrinologist. Immediate thyroid medication adjustment is needed. Please take thyroid tests again for follow up.
