lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. With TSh value of 28.16 mU/L, there is a fairly severe hypothyroidism. This needs to be controlled, urgently with the appropriate dose of levothyrooxine daily. The treatment has to be for the lifetime. When on treatment, TSH should be maintained between 3 to 4 mU/L. Dosage has to be decided on the basis of weight, height and TSH & T4 levels. Plus you will have to avoid soy beans, soy containing products. Consume more of green leafy vegetables, salads and fruits. Always use whole grain flour for chapati and roti. If treatment is not initiated then a considerable problems will be faced, including irregular menstrual cycles, weight gain, cold intolerance, hair fall, muscle and joint pains, anxiety and swelling of face and lower limbs. Later after marriage, getting pregnant also becomes difficult. Thanks.
