FAQs
What does the Thyroid Profile test include?
The Thyroid Profile at Polylabs includes tests for T3 (Triiodothyronine), T4 (Thyroxine), and TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone). These tests help evaluate thyroid function and detect conditions like hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. By measuring these hormone levels, the test provides insights into metabolism, energy regulation, and overall hormonal balance.
How do I know if I need a thyroid test?
You should consider a thyroid test if you experience unexplained weight gain or loss, fatigue, hair thinning, mood swings, irregular periods, or difficulty tolerating cold or heat. These symptoms often indicate thyroid imbalances that require medical attention. A timely full body checkup can help diagnose and manage thyroid-related conditions effectively.
Can thyroid imbalances affect metabolism?
Yes, the thyroid gland plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism. An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) slows metabolism, leading to weight gain, fatigue, and sluggishness. An overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) speeds up metabolism, causing weight loss, increased heart rate, and nervousness. The Thyroid Profile helps detect such imbalances early for better management.
How often should I get my thyroid checked?
If you have a family history of thyroid disorders, an existing thyroid condition, or symptoms of thyroid imbalance, regular testing is recommended. Most healthcare professionals advise getting a thyroid test every 6 to 12 months for ongoing monitoring. If you’re undergoing thyroid treatment, more frequent tests may be required to adjust medications.
Do I need to fast before a thyroid test?
No, fasting is not required for a thyroid test. However, doctors often recommend taking the test in the morning when thyroid hormone levels are most stable. If you are on thyroid medication, it’s best to consult your doctor about the best time for testing to ensure reliable health checkup results.
