Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a thorough examination today. The result of the examination was hypothyroidism. I cannot see the report. What are the suspected indicators of hypothyroidism?Doctor's answer:
It is hypothesized that the patient has hypothyroidism, primarily through the implementation of a thorough thyroid function test. Carefully observe the levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). If TSH decreases and free T3 and T4 also decrease, it indicates weakened thyroid function. Conversely, if TSH decreases and free T3 and T4 levels rise, it indicates hyperthyroidism. Additionally, antibodies can be used in conjunction to help distinguish between hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
