Thyroid Panel with Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Thyroid testing with TSH is used to:
1) diagnose thyroid disorders
2) screen adults and infants for thyroid disorders
3) used to help monitor thyroid replacement therapy and treatment in people suffering from hypothyroidism
4) used to help diagnose and/or monitor female infertility problems
Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the body lacks sufficient thyroid hormone. Since the main purpose of thyroid hormone is to "run the body's metabolism", it is understandable that people with this condition will have symptoms associated with a slow metabolism. Over five million Americans have this common medical condition. In fact, as many as ten percent of women may have some degree of thyroid hormone deficiency. Hypothyroidism is more common than you would believe...and, millions of people are currently hypothyroid and don't know it.
Symptoms can include:
Fatigue
Weakness
Weight gain or increased difficulty losing weight
Coarse, dry hair
Dry, rough pale skin
Hair loss
Cold intolerance (can't tolerate the cold like those around you)
Muscle cramps and frequent muscle aches
Constipation
