My T3 is 0.98 and T4 is 6.56, which I believe are in the normal range. My TSH is 8.012, which is high. What do you suggest? Do I have thyroid disease?

T3 and T4 levels are in normal range. TSH at 8.01 is higher than normal (usually less than 4.5). High TSH with normal T3/T4 suggests subclinical hypothyroidism. You may not have symptoms but thyroid is underactive. Monitoring and follow up tests are advised.

My aunt is 43 years old and has been diagnosed with a thyroid nodule. Is surgery the only way to treat it? I was considering consulting a homeopath, can homeopathy help cure the nodule without surgery? Are there any naturopathy treatments or home remedies that can help remove it?

I recently had a full body check up, and some of the results indicate high TSH, high cholesterol, and a few other concerns. I would like to know which specialist I should consult to review my report and provide the best healthcare advice.

I have irregular periods, and my blood report shows that my prolactin level is quite high. My gynecologist has prescribed tablets to help regulate my periods, but I am concerned about the elevated prolactin. Should this be treated separately, and what could be the reason for the high prolactin level?
