Self test is suitable for both men and women.Both men and women can have an underactive thyroid, although it's more common in women. Children can also develop an underactive thyroid and some babies are born with it.

Thyroid self test is an immunodiagnostic rapid home test by taking blood from the fingertip to detect elevated TSH value. Simply apply a blood drop and wait for results.

The thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH, thyrotropin) secreted by the pituitary gland. An increase in TSH indicates hypothyroidism, and Thyroid test is based on this detection. Therefore, TSH value of more than 5 μIU TSH / ml, appears in positive test results shows that you are likely to have an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism or hypothyroidism).

Thyroid self test can be used at any time of the day. Thyroid home test cannot be used during substitution therapies using thyroid hormones.

What do you need to do if the test result is negative?

A negative result means that the TSH content is less than 5 μIU / mL, and this is within the normal range. However, if the symptoms persist we recommend that you consult your doctor.
