Thyroid Stimulation Hormone

Service Description

Your thyroid runs the show when it comes to your energy, mood, and metabolism, and TSH is the hormone that keeps it all in check. Produced by your pituitary gland, TSH tells your thyroid how much of those all-important hormones (T3 and T4) to make. This simple blood test gives us big clues about how well your thyroid is functioning. Why someone might have a TSH test: • To check for thyroid conditions like underactive (hypothyroidism) or overactive (hyperthyroidism) thyroid • To monitor how well your thyroid medication is working • To investigate symptoms like:  – Feeling constantly tired or wired  – Unexpected weight changes  – Mood swings, anxiety, or low mood  – Hair thinning, dry skin, or feeling cold all the time • To screen for thyroid issues even if you’re not feeling symptoms, especially if you're at risk
