Why low TSH is called hyperthyroidism and high TSH is called hypo thyroidism?
TSH is not a thyroid hormone - it is a pituitary hormone called Thyroid Stimulating Hormone. It's job is to tell the thyroid how much thyroid hormone to produce. This is called a negative feedback system.The thyroid produces hormone.The brain reads that there is insufficient hormone in the bodyThe pituitary gland in the brain produces more TSH that turns the thyroid onMore TSH means the thyroid produces even more thyroid hormone.When there is too much thyroid hormone in the body, the pituitary turns off TSH as the body doesn't need any MORE thyroid hormone.If the brain, pituitary and thyroid are working properly, thyroid hormones T4 and T3 will be high (hypERthyroidism) when TSH is low, and thyroid hormones T4 and T3 will be low (hypOthyroidism) when TSH is high.

Can medication treat an enlarged thyroid?
Yes. An enlarged thyroid gland can occur in two common conditions called hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. Both conditions can be treated medically and/or surgically. For example, primary hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid gland) can be treated by administering synthetic thyroid hormone (called levothyroxine). This decreases the signals from the brain that tell the thyroid to grow and work harder, consequently decreasing the size of the gland.
How does the body know when to produce more thyroxine?
There is a part of the brain called the hypothalamus which is next to the pituitary. When you have not enough Thyroxine (T4) your hypothalamus makes TRH which tells the pituitary to make Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH as in the name stimulates the thyroid gland in the neck to make more Thyroxine.
