Thyroid Stimulating Hormone

The Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) test assesses the level of TSH in your bloodstream. TSH, produced by the pituitary gland, plays a pivotal role in regulating thyroid function, which in turn controls metabolism.

This test aids in diagnosing thyroid disorders like hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).

Symptoms of thyroid dysfunction encompass fatigue, weight fluctuations, hair loss, and mood or energy level alterations.

Abnormal TSH levels, either high or low, signify potential thyroid gland irregularities warranting further evaluation and management.
