Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My wife had three cesarean deliveries. She is not able to reduce weight despite all her efforts. Her thyroid profile T3 is 3.05 mIU/mL, T4 is 0.83 mIU/mL, and TSH is 5.339 mIU/mL. Please suggest whether any medication is required or not for thyroid.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concerns. The available values show that her thyroid function test is within normal limits but slightly on the lower side. No medication is required in regard to the thyroid, as she does not have any symptoms related to thyroid function like fatigue, irritability, amenorrhea, depression, weight gain despite low intake of food, dry skin, and loss of hair, to name a few. In case she has any symptoms, then a trial of 25 mcg of Thyroxine (Levothyroxine) should be attempted on a daily basis. I hope this helps. Thank you and take care. Regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
