What's the doctor's recommendation to increase tsh production and thus thyroid function?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: You misunderstand the disease and the lab tests. If your thyroid function is low, then your TSH level would be elevated. To correct a hypoactive thyroid, you need to take thyroid replacement medication.
