I experienced heavy menstruation for two consecutive months, and my blood test showed that my TSH level was elevated to 7.2 microIU/mL. Following a friend medical advice, I have started taking Thyroxine Sodium 25 mcg tablets. Will this treatment help normalize my next menstrual cycle, or will I also need hormonal therapy? I am concerned about the possible side effects of hormonal treatment, such as weight gain. Please advise the best approach. I am attaching my reports for your review.

Elevated TSH could cause heavy periods. Thyroxine should help regulate cycles, but monitor TSH in 6 weeks. Hormonal therapy not always needed.

I am four weeks pregnant. As per my blood test report, my thyroid level is 10.58. I have also undergone a gall bladder operation four years ago. Could you guide me on whether I can have a healthy baby with this high thyroid level at the initial stage? Also, please advise whether my thyroid level could have any impact on my child as he grows up.

I am 4.5 months pregnant and have a thyroid condition. My current TSH level is 4.13. For the past 2 to 3 days, I have been experiencing mild stomach cramps and stretching sensations in my lower abdomen. Is this normal during pregnancy?

My mother is 63 years old. She was diagnosed with multiple myeloma and has been under treatment for a long time. Now she is also suffering from hyperthyroidism. Please suggest how to control it? she is taking Lenangio 20 mg, which cannot be given together with thyroid medication. For thyroid, she is taking Neo Mercazole 10 mg daily. Her TSH is 30, while T3 and T4 are normal.
