I had thyroid problems, so I underwent surgery. My question is, do I still have to continue my thyroid tablets or not? Thank you.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
After thyroid surgery, most people need to continue thyroid tablets for life to maintain normal thyroid hormone levels, especially if the whole thyroid was removed. Stopping the tablet without your doctors advice can lead to hormone imbalance and symptoms like weakness, weight changes, or hair loss. You can book a Thyroid Profile (TSH, T3, T4) test to check your current thyroid status, and your doctor will adjust your dose if needed. Do not stop or change the dose without medical guidance.

View allI am pregnant, and my TSH level is 8.21 as per my blood report. Should I be worried?
Answered by Apollo Doctors
I have hypothyroidism and I am on thyroxine 100 mg. Recently I got my blood test done and TSH is very low. Kindly suggest if my medicine needs to be changed? I am attaching my report.

I have been suffering from hypothyroidism for the last three years and infertility. I was taking levothyroxine 50 mcg daily, but recently I have been feeling low energy, gaining weight, experiencing hair thinning and hair fall, and my periods have become shorter with less bleeding than before. My gynecologist advised reducing the dose to 50 mcg, but my new report also shows a low TSH level. Please see my report. What should I do further? Is this something very problematic? Please advise.
