Frequently Asked Questions
What is a normal TSH level?
Normal TSH is typically between 0.4 and 4.0 mIU/L. TSH above 4.0 suggests hypothyroidism, while below 0.4 suggests hyperthyroidism. At R.K. Hospital, Indrapuri, TSH testing is available at our in-house pathology lab with same-day results.
Is thyroid a lifelong condition?
Hypothyroidism usually requires lifelong medication (levothyroxine), though the dose may change over time. Some forms of hyperthyroidism can go into remission. Regular monitoring at R.K. Hospital ensures your treatment stays on track.
Can thyroid cause weight gain?
Yes, hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) slows metabolism and can cause weight gain, water retention, and fatigue. Once thyroid levels are normalised with medication, weight management becomes easier with diet and exercise.
Does R.K. Hospital do thyroid tests?
Yes, our in-house pathology lab offers TSH, Free T3, Free T4, and anti-TPO antibody tests. Thyroid ultrasound is also available in our radiology department. Call 0755-4260605 for appointments.

Part of the thyroid symptoms, testing and treatment review guide
From this question to a practical consultation
Use this guide to prepare the history for a discussion about thyroid symptoms, testing and treatment review. Record when the concern began, what has changed and how it affects daily activities. Bring reports and prescriptions already available; you can ask which further tests would help before arranging more investigations.
At the visit, ask what the clinician thinks is most likely and which findings support that view. If the diagnosis remains uncertain, ask how it will be clarified and which changes should prompt earlier assessment. A clear next step is more useful than collecting several possible labels from online searches.
Before leaving, confirm the purpose of each prescribed treatment, the follow-up date and who will communicate results. Keep that plan with your symptom record so a review can compare progress. Tell the clinician if the plan is difficult to follow because of work, costs, side effects or care responsibilities.

Repeat and adjust at planned follow-up
The sequence explains planned care. Urgent symptoms require prompt assessment and may change this pathway.
The assessment before a treatment decision
A doctor may examine the neck and request TSH or thyroid hormone testing according to the concern. A slightly abnormal result does not automatically require the same treatment as another person’s result.
Medical guidance: NHS: Underactive thyroid · NHS: Overactive thyroid
How can I prepare for an assessment of these symptoms?
Bring a symptom timeline, relevant reports, current prescriptions and your main questions. Ask how the diagnosis will be assessed, whether further tests are needed, what follow-up is planned and which changes require earlier care.
