A member asked:

What to do if i'm a 23 years old girl. recently i went through tsh level test and got it to be 8.7. at this age, can it be treated completely?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: A TSH of 8.7 frequently means that your thyroid gland is not making enough thyroid hormone. This is called Hypothyroidism. Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) rises in an attempt to signal your Thyroid gland to make more thyroid hormone. You need to see your doctor. Hypothyroidism is easily treated with medication.
