Thyroid hormones play a vital role in our body, affecting many organs. They control essential functions like metabolism, heart rate, and reproductive system performance. Signs of a thyroid issue include irregular periods, hair loss, dry skin, mood swings, depression, and excessive sweating.

Doctors also suggest a TSH test if a noticeable lump appears in the lower neck or throat, a condition called Goitre.  The other name of the TSH test is Thyrotropic hormone.  While the TSH test can spot abnormal TSH levels, it is unable to determine why levels are high or low.

If your test results show abnormalities, the doctor will likely order additional thyroid blood tests to identify the cause of the thyroid issue. These tests may include checks for T4 and T3 thyroid hormones, along with a thyroid antibodies test to detect autoimmune thyroid disorders.

The thyroid gland's altered functioning affects metabolism, leading to health consequences. A TSH test is prescribed for conditions like Goitre, PCOS, menstrual irregularities, obesity, hereditary thyroid disorders, and autoimmune conditions. Acting as an 'early warning signal,' the TSH test aids in early diagnosis and management. It can be taken as part of routine health checkups or when advised by a doctor.

For a standalone TSH test, fasting is not required. However, if taken with other tests, fasting may be needed. Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking and avoid biotin, certain multivitamins, and Vitamin B7.
