\bold{ANSWER:}


Normal TSH levels do not necessarily exclude hypothyroidism.

- TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones.

-In cases of hypothyroidism, the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones, leading to various symptoms.
