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.

Suspecting hypothyroidism, the doctor asked me to do a TSH test. What does it mean?
If your thyroid gland doesn't produce enough of T3 and T4 hormones, which are essential for metabolic processes hypothyroidism develops. It can result in heart disease, joint pain, and infertility. To avoid these complications, you will have to lower your TSH level. Your doctor can help you with this.
Doctor asked me for a TSH test. Do I have a thyroid disorder?
The TSH level may be high or low for many reasons other than thyroid disorders. Serious illness not related to your thyroid gland may lower TSH levels for a short period of time. Older seniors who are above 80 may have a high TSH level even though they don't have thyroid problems. Trust your doctor, and he/she will treat you if necessary, according to your test reports.
Why is the TSH test necessary during pregnancy?
Pregnancy affects the TSH levels. Generally it is slightly low during the first trimester. Sometimes, thyroid disease develops during pregnancy. Your doctor may want to monitor your TSH level during pregnancy and after the birth. If you have a history of thyroid disease, talk to your doctor during pregnancy or if you are planning to have a baby. A newborn is also routinely checked by TSH tests to see if he/she was born with congenital hypothyroidism.
