A health practitioner may order a TSH test when someone has symptoms of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism and/or when a person has an enlarged thyroid gland (goiter). The eyes may be affected: puffiness around the eyes, dryness, irritation, and, in some cases, bulging of the eyes.
TSH is produced by a small gland in the brain called the pituitary, and can be measured by a common blood test. The hypothalamus, located in the brain, produces thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) that tells the pituitary gland to make thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH test is used to check the level of thyroid-stimulating hormone in the blood.
