 [ Symptoms ] how is herpes simplex treated [ Disease ] i feel i need to clarify that thyroid function measured by tsh levels is not related to menopause i think what confuses some people is that the symptoms of low thyroid levels hypothyroidism can mirror the symptoms of menopause when a person experiences hypothyroidism the symptoms can include fatigue depression mood swings and sleep disturbances these symptoms also can arise as estrogen levels fall during menopause thus an elevated tsh which stands for thyroid stimulating hormone  by the way result like yours only indicates how well your thyroid is functioning it does not indicate whether or not you are now in menopause i hope you are following up with a medical professional about your tsh results a tsh of 115 indicates your thyroid is not producing enough thyroid hormones to meet your body is needs people with elevated tsh readings often must take prescription thyroid hormone pills if your healthcare provider has not suggested this you should ask why not wishing you well
