It’s estimated that 3-5% of the UK population have an underactive thyroid, many without realising. The symptoms often develop slowly, making them easy to overlook.
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is produced by your pituitary gland. If your thyroid is underactive, TSH levels rise as your body tries to encourage more thyroid hormone production. High TSH is a strong indicator of hypothyroidism as recommended in NHS guidance.
With Mayfield Clinic, you can order a TSH Home Blood Test Kit for convenient, rapid results. If you prefer, you can visit in person at our clinic for full thyroid screening and personalised care.
Get clarity on your symptoms and act sooner. Learn more about our simple home test kit.
The home TSH test kit includes simple instructions for collecting a small blood sample from your fingertip. After posting your sample in the provided packaging to our UK partner lab, you'll receive results (via secure online portal) within one working day of sample receipt.
Both men and women in the UK can suffer from thyroid disorders. Women, especially those over 30 or with a family history, are more at risk, but men can also experience thyroid issues.
Always discuss your results with a GP, particularly if outside the normal range. Mayfield Clinic offers follow-up advice to help interpret your outcome and recommend next steps.
