Thyroid problem

Question

Nung nagpalab test ako as request of my Ob (private), hindi naging maganda ang result ng thyroid ko, decreasing ang TSH ko so kabilang banda may Hyperthyroidism kuno ako. Meron ba dito na same scenario ko pero nagpa-2nd opinion? Or dumirecho na ng Endocronologist? And ano ang naging solusyon sa decreasing TSH or hyperthyroidism nyo? Thank you in advance, mommies! #hyperthyroid

Mama, this really needs a doctors eye, please do see an endocrinologist soon, especially since your OB flagged it. Thyroid issues during pregnancy (or planning) can affect baby, so better dont delay. A lot of moms I know got second opinions kasi important talaga, and some went straight to endocrinologist, both are valid, honestly. The main thing is you need proper monitoring and a treatment plan from someone who specializes in thyroid, kasi ito ay hindi basta-basta. Marami ring factors na pwedeng i-check pa (like kung ano talaga ang cause, or kung may autoimmune component), kaya really dapat with a specialist. Sending you strength, mama, youre doing the right thing by getting it checked. Keep us posted kung comfortable ka!
