When is the thyroid blood test package recommended?
Thyroid hormones regulate the entire metabolism, so a thyroid disorder often shows up as digestive symptoms — if you have any of the complaints below, it is worth clarifying the cause.
-
Metabolic disorders
If you experience unexplained weight gain or weight loss that is not explained by a change in diet or lifestyle.
-
Chronic constipation or diarrhoea
An underactive thyroid slows bowel movements, while an overactive thyroid speeds them up, leading to persistent complaints.
-
Constant tiredness, drowsiness
If your digestive complaints are accompanied by lethargy, difficulty concentrating or weakness.
-
Bloating and a feeling of fullness
If no food intolerance has been found behind your gastrointestinal symptoms, it is worth checking your hormones too.
-
Age over 50
At this age the risk of thyroid disease increases, and its symptoms can easily be confused with digestive diseases.
-
Family history
If an underactive thyroid, an overactive thyroid or autoimmune thyroid disease has occurred in your family.
-
Bad breath and dry mouth
Certain hormonal disorders directly affect saliva production and oral health.
-
Hair loss and dry skin
If digestive complaints are accompanied by externally visible signs, a thyroid check is essential.
Does any of these symptoms sound familiar? A single blood test can clarify whether the cause is hormonal or digestive.
This list is for information only and does not replace an examination by a specialist. Come for the blood test on an empty stomach; if you take thyroid hormone replacement, ask your doctor when to take it on the day of the test. If you have any questions, call us: 06-1-413-2500 (H–P 9–17).

Did you know?
Five questions and answers about the link between hormones and digestion.
-
Did you know that an underactive thyroid can slow down bowel movements?
This often causes stubborn constipation and bloating that diet alone does not always resolve.
-
Did you know that thyroid disease is ten times more common among women over 50?
As the symptoms are often vague, regular screening is particularly important at this age.
-
Did you know that the state of the thyroid also affects stomach acid production?
An underactive thyroid is often associated with reduced acid production, which makes digestion more difficult and can cause a feeling of fullness.
-
Did you know that the fee for the blood test package can be paid from a health fund?
Endomedix has contracts with many health funds, so you can conveniently cover the cost of the test.
-
Did you know that an untreated thyroid disorder can lead to inflammation in the long term?
A timely blood test helps to prevent more serious digestive complications.
Can also be paid from a health fund account
