I found that I have 9.5 tsh in my blood. My doc suggested me levothyroxine 25 mcg. But my symptoms aren't cured 100%. Should I increase my dose? Do you think it's correct to take 25 mcg levothyroxine for hypothyroidism with 9.5 tsh level? I've been taking tabs for a month now.

Dear lybrate-user ji, I suggest you not to increase your dosage. Hypothyroidism is a condition in which your thyroid gland doesn't produce enough of certain crucial hormones. Nowadays the most common cause of hypothyroidism is stress and anxiety and faulty lifestyle. Another common cause is iodine deficiency. Conventional treatment for hypothyroidism tends to involve hormone therapy that is designed to replace the low thyroid hormone levels. However, seventy-percent of the people taking thyroid replacement therapy continue to complain of symptoms. This is because this treatment does not solve the underlying problems causing hypothyroidism. They are more concentrates in bringing the hormones to normal range. But this is not the proper treatment. Homeopathy for hypothyroidism offers supportive therapy in the symptomatic management of hypothyroidism and can also help in improving overall health. Homeopathy helps to produce thyroid hormone naturally by stimulating the immune system and helps in better functioning of the thyroid gland. The main advantage of opting for a homeopathic remedy for hypothyroidism is that the medicines used for its treatment are made of natural substances and do not cause any side-effects. For further details can consult online. Thank you.
