My TSH levels are 5.68 and have been experiencing weight loss and excessive hairfall. Should I start treatment or wait and repeat tests?
What kind of treatment options are available for an underactive thyroid?
Treatment usually involves taking a daily dose of a synthetic thyroid hormone called levothyroxine. This medication helps to regulate the levels of thyroid hormones in the body and can help alleviate symptoms. Your doctor will be able to determine the appropriate dosage for you.
