Tsh hypothyroidism - #20461

Rakshitha

I’m 29 years old, and until I was 28, I didn’t have any issues with TSH levels. But one day, my TSH was found to be 12, which was diagnosed as hypothyroidism. The doctor prescribed 50mg medication, and within a week, my levels dropped to 1.5. The doctor advised me to continue the 50mg dosage, but I stopped in the middle, and my TSH increased again to 6. After restarting the medication, my levels are now normal. However, I’ve been gaining weight over the past 6 months despite following a diet, and my weight has remained at 53 kg. I can’t seem to lose any weight, and my hair is falling more. I’m also planning to have a baby. How can I manage my hormones? I am consuming iodine-rich foods, but they don’t seem to help. Additionally, I feel heat in my body, get pimples when I eat hot foods, and often suffer from mouth ulcers.

Doctors’ responses

Namste! All hormone related disorders are always caused by lifestyle and diet, which affect your Agni (digestive strength). Before planning a baby, you should focus on changing your lifestyle and diet. Food acts as medicine when consumed properly—no medicine alone can cure your condition; only you can heal yourself through dietary and lifestyle changes. Here are some dietary and lifestyle recommendations along with medicines that you should follow: Rx (Medicines): 1. Triphala powder – ½ teaspoon with lukewarm water at early morning 2. Kanchnar Guggulu – 1 tablet twice daily (BD). 3. Shatavari powder – ½ teaspoon with milk at night Diet & Lifestyle Recommendations: Foods to Add: Fresh fruits, millets, and sprouts. Coconut water, mint, coriander, cucumber, and ghee. Pumpkin seeds and whole grains. Foods to Avoid: Spicy, fried, and processed foods. Cabbage, cauliflower, and soy. Excess dairy and sugar. Lifestyle Changes: Daily Oil Massage (Abhyanga): Use coconut oil or bhringraj oil to reduce hair fall. Yoga & Pranayama: Practice Kapalbhati and Ujjayi breathing regularly. Recommended Yoga Poses: Sarvangasana (Shoulder Stand): Stimulates the thyroid. Matsyasana (Fish Pose): Balances thyroid hormones. Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose): Helps metabolism and fertility.
