Does the thyroid stim hormone test result 0.0300 mean thyroid is high or low?

Answer 1

Which ones?: The provider who ordered the tests is the best person to go over the results with you.

Answer 2

Can you be more...: specific? What results did you have? Please submit more information so we can help you.

Answer 3

Watch the timing: If your mood gets "bad" post ovulation, about 2 weeks into your cycle, or later and gets better as soon as your period starts. It may be hormonal. Keeping a healthy diet and exercising can help alot. If you are a candidate, birth control pills often help with pms. Even if it is "just pms" it can be debilitating. You should see your doctor for treatment.

Answer 4

If you are thinking about hurting yourself or others, please seek psychiatric help immediately.

Answer 5

By replacement: Hormone therapy is supplemental, replacing lost hormone to better levels.

Answer 6

Balance: Relative insufficiency of several different hormones occur as we age. Replacement balances out the effects of the lack of optimal production. Hormones affect every part of your body & if they are out of balance, then so are you.

Answer 7

Estrogen decreases: Estrogen is an important hormone in both women and men. In women, it is produced by the ovary as long as ovulation is occurring, but after menopause (average age 52), this stops. The ovary still produces testosterone, as does the male testes, and this can be converted to estrogen, but in many persons, the production of testosterone also drops after age 75.

Answer 8

It looks like: Bimodal , during prepubertal stage they are on the low side and then increase during puberty . There is fluctuation during different phases of menstruation . They will peak during pregnancy and decline in postmenopausal state , .

Answer 9

Anxiety & hormones: Hormonal imbalance, especially in women, especially near menopause where levels of Progesterone drop. Progesterone is similar to serotonin & has a calming effect. This can be compounded by elevated levels of oestrogen, or use of birth control pill.

Answer 10

It's not: Many women can safely use menopausal hormonal therapy as they age, even beyond 80. A thorough and thoughtful evaluation by a women's health specialist is recommended.

Answer 11

It is not.: Hormone replacement started at a later age may have somewhat less health benefits than started at an earlier age post-menopause. But I am not aware of any studies stating that it is UNsafe. Just make sure you are working with a forward-thinking doctor who specializes in bio-identical hormone replacement. Hope this helps.
