Suggestive of Hypothyroidism
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX XXXXXXX Hi & Welcome.
Thanks for posting your query on health care magic.
I have gone through the brief history and the uploaded TSH result done on January 20, 2016. Since TSH is HIGH, it is suggestive of hypothyroidism.
Now, I would like to ask a few questions so as to analyze your condition properly like:
1. When did you start taking Eltroxin? and what was the initial dose prescribed by the doctor?
2. For how long did you take the prescribed medication and at what dose?
3. As you have mentioned about the 'increase in hydrocele', can you please elaborate what is your actual problem? Is it scrotal swelling or enlargement?
Awaiting your reply for proper analaysis
Best wishes.

Brief Answer:
The dose of Eltroxin should be adjusted.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX XXXXXXX Hi & Welcome.
Thanks for your reply.
It is apparent from your reply that you have been taking Eltroxin since birth.
Since your TSH is high, which indicates that the prescribed dose of 300 mcg is not adequte to control your thyroid problem hence the dosage of Eltroxin should be increased by your treating physician and you will have to repeat the TSH test 4-6 weeks after increasing the dose so that the TSH should be in the range of 0.4 - 4 mIU/mL
Regarding the scrotal swelling, it seems to be due to accumulation of fluid or hydrocele for that you need to be examined by a general surgeon for possible surgery.
Hope the suggestions given above would be useful in getting the proper treatment from your physician.
Best regards.
