Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I am Karthika, 26 years old. During pregnancy i had thyroid problem. I have test T3, T4, TSH post pregnancy. Here is the test results and my weight is gaining day by day. TOTAL TRIIODOTHYRONINE (T3) C.L.I.A 39 ng/dl 60 - 200 TOTAL THYROXINE (T4) C.L.I.A 1.8 μg/dl 4.5 - 12.0 THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE (TSH) C.L.I.A 150.00 μIU/ml 0.30 - 5.5
Hello dear I understand your concern Compare your thyroid report with normal thyroid profie Total T3: 60 - 200ng/dl_______________________39_______low Total T4 : 4.5 - 12.0 μg/dl_____________________1.8______low TSH: 0.30 - 5.5 μIU/ml_____________________150____high
Your report suggest you have hypothyroidism and that is the reason of weight gain. I advise you to consult the endocrinologist for better management. Doctor will provide thyronorm (synthetic thyroid hormone) 100 ug. Repeat the thyroid test after 1 month of starting treatment to know the response of drug. Drug should be manage according to next report. Do regular exercise like walking and yoga, avoid saturated fat and take grem leafy vegetables and fresh fruits Hope this may help you Best regards Dr. Sagar
