I had thyroid problems, so I underwent surgery. My question is, do I still have to continue my thyroid tablets or not? Thank you.

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.

I took a thyroid test for the first time. My results are: T3: 120 T4: 9.2 TSH: 4.16 The report comments mention suggesting thyronormalcy. Are these values within the normal range? If not, what treatment or steps should I consider? I have attached my report for reference.

I did my thyroid test last week for the first time because my body weight is not reducing even after hard exercise. My blood test shows T3 and T4 are normal, but TSH level is increased to 21. How can I reduce it?
