Endocrinologist,  's  Response
Hello and thank you for asking!
I can understand your concern but would like to inform you that, thyroid is not the cause of high FSH level.
If it is over 20, is suggestive for ovarian failure (menopause).
So, the normalization of TSH will not affect FSH level.
best wishes,
Dr.Mirjeta
