Suggest Treatment For High TSH Level During Pregnancy
I have done blood tests and complete urine analysis after the first visit to the doctor during pregnancy. VDRL id found non reactive. Is it good or bad?
My TSH is 6.14 which is indicated high.
Please let me know if there is treatment for the TSH problem and about the VDRL

Hello
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query. I understand your concerns.
VDRL test is done to rule out syphilis. As your test is nonnegative, no need to worry. It means that you don't have the disease.
TSH of 6 is little high. Upto 5 is the normal range. But hypothyroidism is quite common during pregnancy and it is easily treated. You start taking tab. Thyronorm after consulting your gynecologist as early as possible.
Hopefully this will help you.
Thank you
