TSH Test in Mysore - Price & Details

TSH or thyroid stimulating hormone is produced by the pituitary gland, a small gland that is located at the base of the brain. This hormone binds to the cells in the thyroid, stimulating this small butterfly shaped gland located in the front of the neck to produce T3 and T4. The thyroid gland plays an important role in the body as it manages muscle strength, mood, and body temperature. The TSH hormone also influences metabolism. The TSH test is an important test as it helps to timely detect and manage irregularities in the thyroid gland.

During the TSH Test

Once the TSH test has been booked, a phlebotomist will be assigned who arrives at the location to collect the blood sample. The blood is drawn using sterilised needles and gloves that are disposed of after use, and a vein finder device. This handy tool helps the phlebotomist locate the best vein to draw blood from. The entire test will be done in 5 to 10 minutes.
