TSH Imbalance Treatment in Encino, CA

Your endocrine system generates a multitude of hormones that serve crucial functions in your body. One of the most important is the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Created in the pituitary gland, TSH is a precursor hormone. This means TSH is essential for the thyroid gland to release its hormones thyroxin (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).

If you'd like to know more about TSH, please call (424) 365-1800 or contact Dr. Jeremy Fischer online.

Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone Testing

TSH levels serve as a strong indicator of your overall health, along with hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism . Because of this, getting your TSH levels checked is a good idea. TSH levels are measured with a blood test .

Just like a standard blood draw, this test is virtually painless. Before the test, it's important to let your doctor know about any medications you're taking or treatments you've recently undergone. These can both interfere with the TSH screen.

A blood test gives your doctor the opportunity to analyze your TSH levels and recommend treatment.

Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone Treatment

Correcting your TSH levels revolves around supplementing your natural thyroid production. This is done with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy , or BHRT. BHRT uses TSH that's chemically identical to what your body produces to naturally rejuvenate your thyroid.

Your thyroid can be restored via a number of delivery methods:

  • Injected pellets
  • Pills / Tablets
  • Creams / Gels
  • Patches

These are all equally valid ways of correcting your TSH levels. It's best to talk with a doctor and find out which method is right for you.
