Test Necessity
Doctors may recommend a TSH test for a number of reasons-
- A TSH test can help detect thyroid problems, even before symptoms appear. It is also done to monitor how well thyroid treatment is working.
- This test, along with other tests, also helps to assess whether you are suspected of having other thyroid disorders, such as thyroid cancer, thyroid nodules (non-cancerous tumours), goitre, Graves' disease, or Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
- Your doctor may check your TSH level if you are planning to get pregnant. In some cases, the TSH test is done to rule out thyroid disorders during pregnancy.

Test Preparation
Usually, there is no need to fast prior to the TSH test. But if you are undergoing any treatment, talk to your doctor, he or she will let you know beforehand if any preparation is needed.
During the TSH Test
On the date and time selected by you, a phlebotomist will reach your place and using a vein finder, the vein from which blood will be drawn will be pinpointed. Sample collection takes just a few seconds and the sample will be taken to the Labs to be tested.
