What is TSH?
TSH stands for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, a biomarker released by the pituitary gland to stimulate the thyroid gland. It plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, energy production, and overall well-being.
Why should you have TSH measured?
Measuring TSH levels is essential for monitoring your thyroid health. It is especially useful when you experience symptoms that may indicate thyroid problems, such as fatigue, weight changes, or mood swings. Regular monitoring can also work preventatively to detect thyroid conditions early.
What does it indicate?
The TSH value indicates how well the thyroid gland is functioning. It assists in the diagnosis of conditions such as hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid) or hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid).
What does a high TSH level mean?
A high TSH level usually indicates hypothyroidism, meaning the thyroid gland is not producing sufficient hormones. This can cause symptoms such as weight gain, cold intolerance, and fatigue.
What does a low TSH level mean?
A low TSH level may indicate hyperthyroidism, where the thyroid gland produces too many hormones. Symptoms may include weight loss, heart palpitations, and an increased sense of anxiety.
