High TSH (DTH likely TSH) indicates underactive thyroid. Medication dose may need titration. Please take a TSH + Free T4 immediately.

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a Free (FT4) Test Test

Hi Doctor, my wife thyroid test report is as follows. T3 is 61, T4 is 1.6, and TSH is greater than 150. Please advise on the further procedure?

I am a 29 year old female, married for five years. I have had an MTP and two abortions. My TSH was normal until now, but my latest blood report shows an increased TSH of 7.83. I recently lost 22 kg through a healthy diet and exercises under the guidance of a dietician.

Question

I have acne and pore scars. How can I get rid of this problem? I am also suffering from PCOD and thyroid issues.
