Is TSH Level Of 5.04 A Cause For Concern?
Question: My wife is having a problem that her periods ae for more than 10 days since 3 months. I have also consulted doctors 2 months back but there medicine does not help her next month. She is having TSH 5.04. Is this the reason for no proper periods. What is the natural way to come out of it.
Brief Answer:
Can be due to TSH problem.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Your wife's TSH is raised and this can cause irregular periods. The excessive bleeding during the periods can be due to
-Female hormone imbalance,
-Uterine fibroids,
-Disorders of the uterine lining,
-Uterine,ovarian or cervical cancer,
-Hypothyroidism,
-Endometrial hyperplasia,
-Dysfunctional uterine bleeding,
For diagnosis, you need to have an ultrasound scan of your lower abdomen.
To decrease the bleeding you need to have progesteone pills along with hemostatic agents like ethamsylate or tranexaemic acid after consulting with your gynaecologist. Natural treatments are not likely to help.
Meanwhile start taking iron supplements to combat excessive blood loss from your body.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
