The Thyroid Trap: Why So Many Indians Are Treated Late — or Incorrectly

Thyroid disorders affect millions of Indians, particularly women — yet they remain among the most misdiagnosed endocrine conditions.

Symptoms overlap with modern life: fatigue, weight changes, anxiety, hair fall, irregular cycles. Often, a single TSH test is ordered, deemed “fine,” and the investigation ends.

That’s where the mistake begins.

Why TSH Alone Isn’t Enough

Thyroid function depends on a complex feedback system involving T3, T4, pituitary signalling, nutrient availability, and stress hormones. A “normal” TSH does not guarantee optimal thyroid performance.

Subclinical hypothyroidism, autoimmune thyroiditis, and stress-induced thyroid suppression frequently go undetected without comprehensive testing.

NATLABS’ Complete Thyroid Profiling

Our panels assess:

• TSH, Free T3, Free T4

• Thyroid antibody markers where indicated

• Nutrient contributors like iodine, iron, and B12

Accurate diagnosis prevents years of unnecessary medication — or years of untreated dysfunction.

The thyroid doesn’t fail suddenly. It fades. Testing must be precise enough to notice.
