I have extremely low TSH hormone. Does it mean that I have a thyroid disease? I have heard that it is not treatable and causes a lot of weight gain. Is it true in my case? For reference, I am attaching relevant details from my report. Thyroid profile: T3 125, T4 8.4, TSH 0.08.

Low TSH may indicate early hyperthyroidism. It does not cause weight gain. It is manageable with proper care. Do the required thyroid antibody and repeat function tests.

My wife was diagnosed with multinodular goiter 1 year ago. Her thyroid report is normal. FNAC was also done. Some doctors are suggesting surgery while others suggest wait and watch. My concern is, after the operation, will my wife have to take thyroid medicine for her whole life? FNAC report and USG report are attached.

Hi doctor, my mother was previously diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. Recently, we received her blood reports. Kindly review them and suggest further diagnosis and appropriate medications to take.

My TSH level in the recent report is 4.86. I would like to know if this means I have hypothyroidism. Also, should I go for a retest to confirm the result?
