When the thyroid gland does not release enough of two important hormones, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), it is hypothyroidism or underactive thyroid. In response, the pituitary gland secretes more TSH into the blood to stimulate the thyroid gland to increase its hormone secretion.
If the thyroid gland produces too many T3 or T4 hormones, it can cause hyperthyroidism or overactive thyroid. In that case, the pituitary gland releases less amount of TSH to try to reduce the thyroid gland's hormone secretion.
Thus, the TSH influences the thyroid gland, which controls how our body uses energy. Thyroid hormones affect nearly every organ in our body. These hormones help to control the body weight, temperature, muscle strength, and even our heart.
Test Necessity
If you visit a doctor with hypothyroidism or hypothyroidism problems, he/she may recommend a TSH test to be done.
Hypothyroidism or underactive thyroid slows down the body functions and causes symptoms like
- Fatigue
- Weight gain
- Dry skin, dry, thinning hair
- Joints and muscle pain
- Heavy or irregular menstrual periods
- High sensitivity to cold
- Constipation
- Depression
Whereas hyperthyroidism or overactive thyroid speeds up the body functions, more than normal. The symptoms which appear are:
- Weight loss no matter how much you eat
- Feeling irritable nervous
- Fatigue, trouble sleeping
- Rapid irregular heartbeat
- Shaking hands, muscle weakness
- Being very sensitive to heat
- Frequent bowel movement
- Enlarged thyroid or goitre
Along with the TSH test you may need some other tests to help diagnose unusual lumps on your thyroid that may lead to either thyroid cancer or thyroid nodules (growth on the thyroid that's not cancerous).
Doctors will also recommend TSH tests to monitor how well you are responding to thyroid medication.
Test Preparation
The TSH test does not require fasting. Though if your doctor suggests other tests along with it you may need to fast several hours before the test.
During the TSH Test
During the test, a phlebotomist will come to your place. TSH is a simple blood test and a small quantity of your blood will be drawn. No discomfort will be felt because the skilled phlebotomist will use a vein finder. You can expect the report to be emailed soon afterwards.
