Is There Any Permanent Treatment For Thyroid?
hi i m a female of 29yrs age.
hi ,recently i have undergone thyroid test adn my TSH level is approx 17.
I wanna plan a baby .
Can i take the risk of trying to get thyroid levels down naturally by diet and exercise or homeopathy ?My doctor has suggested me THyroup 50mg. I delivered a baby in Sep 2009 . But the baby could not survive due to Asphyxia neonatorum.
THen I had a miscarriage in july 2010 when i was 10 weeks pregnant as no heart beat was found.
My basic question is can this thyroid get cured or i need to take the above medicine life long ans start it immediately to avoid further complications?

Hello and thank you for asking!
Sorry to learn about your bothersome situation.
You should immediately start treatment to correct the TSH level.
It may be a cause of infertility, abortion or fetus malformation.
An endocrinologist will typically recommend levothyroxine. It is the only approved medication in treating underactive thyroid and correcting TSH level. This is a prescription medication that is the scientifically sound way to replace the deficient hormone in the human body.
Please consult your endocrinologist for a prescription for the same.
The ideal dose varies from person to person and a blood test 6 weeks after starting with 50 mcg for TSH in a laboratory is extremely useful in determining the appropriate dose in continuance.
Hope i have been helpful.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
