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.

Question

Please check the attached reports, which include CBC, thyroid, and other test results. I tested COVID positive last month. I have been taking a 50 mg thyroid tablet for the past 5 years.

I am attaching my thyroid function test report and would like to know if the levels are normal. My TSH is low. I am experiencing difficulty falling asleep, hair loss, swelling in my left eye, and persistent tiredness. Please advise.

Question

Hi, I recently had my thyroid stimulating hormone tested using ECLIA. The adult reference range is 0.3 to 5.5, and my TSH level is 5.69. I am 24 years old and underweight. Could you please help me understand the results of this thyroid test and if any treatment or further action is needed?
