Prolactin of 40 ng/mL is mildly elevated. Rule out stress, thyroid dysfunction, or pituitary microadenoma. Treatment includes low dose cabergoline or bromocriptine UNDER EXPERT CONSULTAYION if periods are irregular or trying to conceive. Thyroid function must be checked.

8 months back my TSH was 4.5 and I am taking 87.5 mg for the past 2 years. Today my TSH is 9. My doctor is out of town. Can you please check my report and tell me if I can go for 100 mg and for how many months? Because my doctor keeps switching in between 87.5 and 100 mg. Does TSH level increase during monthly cycle? Kindly help with the dosage.

Hello Doctor, I am 30 years old and recently had thyroid tests done, which showed TT3: 114, TT4: 9, and TSH: 33. I have not had my periods yet, my last period was in July, and a urine pregnancy test in August was negative. What should I do next?

I recently underwent a blood check up recommended by a dermatologist for skin issues. My blood report states that my TSH is 11. What may be the cause?
