On Menopause.Can An Online Doctor Check If The Thyroid Blood Tests Are Normal ?
My thyroid blood tests showed the following: TSH 2.610; TSI 53; TPO Ab 130; Anti Ab 130 and my doctor said we should monitor this since it shows I will have a thyroid problem in the future. I want to know if there is something I should be doing now. I also had low Vitamin D and showed I'm in menopause (although it has not been12 months with no period yet.) AAAA
Most of the population of western countries are positive for these antibodies and yet only 50% of them will develop thyroid disease , rest will be normal..
These antibodies show that you may or may not develop autoimmune thyroidistis , that could be hyper or hpothyroid.
I would suggest that you should undergo 3 monthly follow up for thyroid profile , then 6 monthly till next 3 years, then you can forget it.
And for now you cannot take any medicine , or herbal medicine to prevent this autoimmne thyroidistis to develop.

On Menopause.Can An Online Doctor Check If The Thyroid Blood Tests Are Normal ?
Hello As you have said that you are in menopause , so vitamin D will be low , and in females of 40-60 years do have low vitamin D. Your thyroid profile appears normal , with normal TSH Though your antibodies against thyroid are increased that is TPO thyroid peroxidase , and anti thyroglubulin. Most of the population of western countries are positive for these antibodies and yet only 50% of them will develop thyroid disease , rest will be normal.. These antibodies show that you may or may not develop autoimmune thyroidistis , that could be hyper or hpothyroid. I would suggest that you should undergo 3 monthly follow up for thyroid profile , then 6 monthly till next 3 years, then you can forget it. And for now you cannot take any medicine , or herbal medicine to prevent this autoimmne thyroidistis to develop.
