Recently, we got her checked for TSH which is on a higher side, probably 10. she is already taking 75 mg of medicine which her gynae has now raised it to 100. We would like to take advise from endochronologist if this is ok

Hallow Dear,

TSH values up to 10 mIU are quite high. You have to bring them down to the tunes around 3. Probably she is on Thyronorm tablets. If even after 100 micrograms, TSH is not coming down, you have to increase the dose. The dose has to be titrated with TSH values.

Please ensure that she is consuming iodized salt.

Broccoli, Soya, Cauliflower, Cabbage are certain vegetables which interfere the absorption of iodine. So ask her to avoid them.

It is always a good option to have Endocrinologist's advice in Thyroid problem. However, please continue on Thyronorm in adequate dosage.

Low Thyroid functioning may affect the baby and/or pregnancy adversely. So please do not ignore.

I hope this helps you.
