The thyroid gland plays an important role in the human body, and improper functioning can cause conditions like dry skin, mood swings, stunted growth, sweating, hair fall, and issues in the menstrual cycle. The TSH manages how the body uses energy, affecting metabolism. The BMR or the Basal Metabolism Rate is the rate at which food gets converted into energy, and this is directly influenced by the TSH. The TSH test is an important test as it helps to detect and treat medical conditions.
