I had consulted a skin specialist for pimples on my face. She suggested I go for a blood check and a scan. My report shows TSH level 5.73 and ASM level 5.81. What should I do to reduce my TSH level.

TSH is mildly elevated. For pregnancy planning, aim to bring TSH below 2.5. Your doctor may suggest a low dose of thyroid medicine. ASM is a liver enzyme; mildly raised value can occur with stress, diet, or minor liver inflammation.

Hi doctor, tomorrow my hysterectomy is scheduled and in the pre operative blood test report thyroid has been detected. The doctor advised me to take Thyroxin 50 before coming to the hospital tomorrow. I also take Olmighty 20 mcg daily for hypertension. Could you please suggest if it is a normal procedure to take the thyroid medicine? I am too stressed about it. Any help would be appreciable. Thank you.

Hi, I got married three months ago and we are trying to conceive. I have a thyroid condition and am currently taking 50 mcg of medication daily. My weight is 63 kg and height is 155 cm. I stay active by walking regularly and playing badminton. Despite this, I have not been able to get pregnant yet. Could you help me understand why?
