Overview
The Thyroid stimulating hormone is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland which is situated near the brain. The hormone is known to regulate the thyroid gland and signals it to function through a feedback loop. The thyroid gland is responsible for controlling body metabolisms and the digestive system.
Any malfunction in the master hormone, i.e., in the TSH causes a hormonal imbalance in the body resulting in health complications like hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. The following are some of the symptoms that occur if there is an imbalance in the TSH levels:
- Rapid heartbeat
- Weight loss or gain
- Feeling shaky or anxious
- Vision changes and/or bulging eyes
- Swelling on your neck
- Irregularities in the menstrual cycle
Test Necessity
When there is a fluctuation of TSH levels in the patient's blood, it is due to an issue in the thyroid gland. TSH test is predominantly used to diagnose hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism in a patient. However, there are some other conditions as well that affect the production of thyroid-stimulating hormone. Such diseases are:
- Goitre
- Obesity
- During pregnancy
- Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
- Hashimoto's thyroiditis
- Genetic history of thyroid disorders
If you are showing symptoms of any of the above-mentioned conditions, a TSH test or a complete thyroid profile test can be prescribed to you by your healthcare professional.
Test Preparation
A TSH test does not require any test preparation. Since fasting is not required, you can have your regular meals. You can also have plenty of water and fluids before the test is done to get rid of other toxic elements in your blood. However, if your healthcare provider has prescribed you another test along with the TSH test, fasting may be required in that case.
During the TSH Test
The TSH test is done to quantify the TSH level in your bloodstream. For that, an experienced phlebotomist from PharmEasy is sent to your home for sample collection. He will use a vein finder to locate your vein and with the help of a syringe, blood will be drawn. The whole process is simple and it will take not more than 10 minutes. The blood is allowed to clot in the lab and the serum is extracted from it for further testing. It is made sure that hygiene is maintained throughout the procedure.
