What are the Treatment Options for Abnormal TSH Levels?
Treatment depends on whether TSH levels are high or low. For hypothyroidism, the primary treatment is levothyroxine, a synthetic thyroid hormone. For hyperthyroidism, treatment options include antithyroid medications, radioactive iodine therapy, and, in some cases, surgery. Lifestyle modifications, such as diet and stress management, can also play a supportive role in treatment.
