Which department should I go to if my thyroid stimulating hormone is too high and how should it be treated?

Hyperthyroidism is a very dangerous disease, which usually occurs in remote areas. Because hyperthyroidism is an endocrine disease, it is caused by the enlargement of the thyroid gland due to the lack of trace elements in the diet. Many people don’t know much about the concept of thyroid-stimulating hormone. So, let’s take a look at what department to go to for high thyroid hormone and how to treat it.

High thyroid-stimulating hormone is a disease of the endocrine department. You can just go to the hospital and see an endocrine specialist.

High TSH indicates that the secretion of thyroid hormone in the body is relatively insufficient. If T3 and T4 are normal, and you do not feel uncomfortable at ordinary times, eating too much iodine-containing substances will not cause high TSH, but will reduce it. It is recommended to eat some iodine-containing substances and then do a thyroid function test. Treatment often uses multiple methods and multiple links such as soothing the liver and regulating qi, clearing the liver and purging fire, strengthening the spleen and resolving phlegm, nourishing yin and reducing fire, nourishing the liver and kidneys, calming the mind and tranquilizing the nerves, removing phlegm and resolving nodules, activating blood circulation and unblocking meridians, and expelling evil toxins, so as to achieve the pathological state of the imbalance of the human body's internal environment.
