Many people in the UK experience fatigue, unexplained weight changes, low mood, and sometimes even hair loss. If this feels familiar, your thyroid could be playing a role. The NHS reports that thousands live with undiagnosed thyroid conditions, as symptoms often overlap with daily life stresses.
Your thyroid is a small gland in your neck, but it regulates vital body processes by releasing hormones that control metabolism, energy levels, and mood. Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is a key signal from your brain telling your thyroid how much hormone to make.
High TSH often means your thyroid is underactive (hypothyroidism). Low TSH can be a sign it's overactive (hyperthyroidism).
At Mayfield Clinic, you can order a TSH Home Blood Test Kit delivered to your UK address. This uses a gentle finger-prick with a TDL Tiny kit. Results are usually ready in just one day.
If you prefer, you can book an in-clinic consultation at Mayfield for professional blood sampling and tailored medical advice.
While not every symptom means a thyroid disorder, checking your TSH level is a quick way to rule out a common cause. Learn more and order your testing kit today.
Symptoms of hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) often include tiredness, unexplained weight gain, feeling cold, depressive mood, and hair loss. However, these can manifest differently for each person and can be mistaken for other health issues.
Not necessarily. Symptoms of thyroid dysfunction are non-specific and may overlap with other conditions. A blood test measuring your TSH levels is the most reliable way to check if your thyroid is functioning properly.
