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 have been experiencing a low grade fever for the past 15 days, mostly in the evenings between 7 to 10 PM, and sometimes after 4 PM. The temperature varies between 98.5F and 99.5F. I have taken Dolo 650 twice. I sometimes feel heaviness in my eyes, but it improves after eating. I have done a Widal test and CBC, which showed only a mild increase in ESR. I am unable to understand the cause of this persistent fever. What could be the reason, and what treatment should I follow?

I am taking Thyronorm 75 mg for thyroid. In my current thyroid blood report, T3 is 86 ng/dl, T4 is 6 ng/dl, and TSH is 10.65 nIU/ml. My TSH is high. What should I do to control TSH, and do I need to increase my tablet from 75 mg to 100 mg? I am also very lean. Is this due to thyroid? Please suggest how I can gain some weight?

Doctor I want to ask one question. I have been suffering from frequent urination for the past six months. All the lab reports and ultrasound are normal but I have not done the thyroid test. Can thyroid also cause frequent urination or not doctor?
