My wife has been suffering from sudden *weight loss, frequent diarrhoea(4-5 times a day), hairloss, sleeplessness and fatigue* from past 3 months.
She had miscarriage on Jan 2020. So, we did some blood tests.
TSH: 0.04,,
FT3: 6.05,,
FT4: 3.66,,
Anti-TPO: >1000,,
TTG: 0.60,,
*Doppler study of Thyroid suggested:*
(1) Bulky and heterogeneous Thyroid gland with increased vascularity- Thyroiditis.
(2) Bilateral cervical Lymphadenopathy.
(3) Diffuse enlargement of thyroid gland is noted.
(4) Right lobe of thyroid measures 3.93*3.35*1.99cms (vol.13.8 cc).
(5) Left lobe 3.97*3.92*1.05 cms (Vol. 13.7cc)
(6) Isthmus of gland is enlarged and measures 5.7 mm.
*Please suggest:*
- Any other tests for further investigation?
- Which doctor to visit. Can a senior physician help?
- Any precautions?
- When should we try next so that she can conceive without any complications?
