Causes of high thyroid stimulating hormone

summary

I went to the hospital for physical examination. The result was that the thyroid stimulating hormone was on the high side. When it reached 4.510, I saw that the reference value was 0.27-4.2. Now I'm five months pregnant. Would the high thyroid stimulating hormone affect my fetus? It used to be normal. So, what are the reasons for high thyroid stimulating hormone?

Causes of high thyroid stimulating hormone

One of the reasons: thyroid is an important organ of human metabolism. From your thyroid hormone level examination, the thyroid stimulating hormone level is mainly increased, and T3T4 is normal. This situation belongs to subclinical hypothyroidism, which has the possibility of gradually developing to hypothyroidism.

The second reason: thyroid stimulating hormone is on the high side, and other indicators are normal, indicating subclinical hypothyroidism, which is mostly caused by life pressure, mental mood and irregular diet. Can supplement nutritious food, enhance the body's immunity.

The third reason: TSH is a hormone secreted by adenohypophysis. Its main function is to promote the synthesis and release of T3 and T4, and is regulated by thyroid hormone. The increase was found in primary hypothyroidism, simple goiter, hyperthyroidism, localized pituitary adenoma, subacute thyroiditis and chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis.

The fourth reason: if TSH is on the high side, it means that there may be hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. The reason for the increase of TSH is that the thyroid secretion in your body is relatively low. Now the test does not support hyperthyroidism, but there is the possibility of hypothyroidism.

The fifth reason: only on the analysis of the test results, the test results for hypothyroidism, if there is no experimental error can be considered for subclinical hypothyroidism. Combined with the analysis of your clinical manifestations, if there is no treatment after the examination, you should consider that the first test result may be experimental error, so you don't have to worry, and then go to the same place for re examination after 1-2 months.

The sixth reason: the thyroid hormone is a little high, and there is no uncomfortable place. After analysis, the high thyroid stimulating hormone will lead to increased blood lipids, weight gain, memory loss and so on. High thyroid stimulating hormone indicates hypothyroidism. If hypothyroidism occurs, the body should be in a state of slow metabolism.

matters needing attention

Thyroid stimulating hormone is high, considering hypothyroidism tendency, mild asymptomatic, do not need special treatment, but the diet should be adequate iodine and selenium, to ensure adequate iodine supply is conducive to the synthesis of thyroid hormone in the body.
