Hello dear,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic.
I read and understand your concern.
I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.
No, need to worry.
Your gynaecologist are right and you should follow him.
As your report is just one point above normal there is no need to worry. If the margin between normal and abnormal is more you should worry and you have to take the thyroid hormone supplement.
Right now you should take good diet natural diet like green leafy vegetable, fruits and other.
Avoid eating cabbage, as it's goiter causing and and decreases the thyroid hormone level.
Take good sleep and peace the mind it helps in recovering your hormone level.
I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.
