Can TSH levels increase significantly within three months?

Question

Hi doctor,

I have had thin and rough hairs on my scalp for five years, and gradually over the period of two years, I have put on weight. Earlier, I was 63 kg, and now 68 kg due to social eating. Around seven years ago, I had my thyroid tests by trichologists, and attached the reports for you to check. After that, she gave

1) Eterage, age-defying nutrients.

2) Hair stim - HGF.

3) Quilib - rebalance hair fall cycle (topical lotion for women).

Later six years ago, I started my diet after consulting a nutritionist. I had oats, vegetables, gram flour, fruits, amla, aloe vera, or jamun juice daily. I had three eggs four days a week and 2 ounces of fish twice a week. Additionally, I took medicines like Follihair 1 at night, D3 nano oral solution 60000 IU 1 in the afternoon, Endocal 1 at night, and Harvit Women 1 in the afternoon. After a year, I had my thyroid tests done again and attached the results also. Within three months, there is a significant increase in TSH levels. If anyone knows the reasons, please let me know, and if this is worrisome??

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Increasing levels of TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) but normal T3 and T4 are commonly seen in Indian women, called subclinical hypothyroidism. This is totally idiopathic (no specific reason) but can be maintained by some lifestyle practices like a proper home-based diet with some exercises like walking, early morning wake up and sleep by 10 PM, a healthy diet with fruits, mixed vegetables, and less oil, spices, etc. Add some ginger, iodized salt, and ginger to the staple meals. Try to reduce weight up to 5 to 8 kg. Have more water, hygiene, and timely meals with bowel clearance daily also.

Hope this has addressed your concern.

Kind regards.
