Know More About The Test
Overview
A TSH test checks the functioning of your thyroid gland. High TSH levels show low thyroid hormones and signal the pituitary gland's efforts to boost the thyroid. High thyroid hormone levels indicate low TSH from the pituitary gland. When interpreting TSH test results, consider factors like age, pregnancy, and illness, as they can influence TSH levels.
When your thyroid gland isn't working well, it can lead to symptoms like:
- Hair thinning, breakage, and hair loss
- Swelling in the neck area
- Rapid heart rate
- Difficulty gaining weight despite a healthy diet
- Irregular menstrual periods
- Mood swings
- Dry skin
- Growth issues in children

Test Necessity
The TSH test is an important early indicator if the thyroid is not working properly. If you have already been diagnosed with a thyroid disorder, this test will help monitor the effectiveness of the treatment. It is especially crucial during pregnancy when TSH levels naturally change, which can affect the baby's development. The test is also part of a set of tests to diagnose various thyroid-related conditions. Properly managing your thyroid levels will improve your health and overall well-being.
