Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Your T3 and T4 levels are normal but TSH levels are high. Taking thyroid hormone supplements- thyronorm is the best way to get rid of this problem. If not treated it will cause gain in weight, irregular periods, difficulty in conception and mental retardation in the children.
You can have a well-balanced diet consisting of seeds, nuts and grains, vegetables and fruits like orange, apple, pineapple and grapes may be taken.
Bananas, avocado, XXXXXXX sage herb help to stimulate the thyroid gland.
All foods containing Iodine should be taken liberally.
These are asparagus, cabbage, carrots, garlic, onion, oats, pineapple, whole rice, tomatoes, watercress, strawberries and Asparagus.
