Diagnosis and Treatment of Hypothyroidism
To diagnose Hypothyroidism, a healthcare professional may measure levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in your blood. TSH measurements are used to diagnosis Hypothyroidism or Hyperthyroidism.
Hypothyroidism is treatable. Treatment involves taking synthetic hormones, such as levothyroxine, to replace the hormones your body is unable to produce. A healthcare professional may also recommend lifestyle changes to manage your symptoms, such as increasing physical activity and reducing stress.
