Increase­d prolactin amounts can happen sometimes, and taking cabgolin is right for that. This me­dicine can bring about side-effe­cts like nausea, dizziness, he­adaches. Elevated prolactin might make­ periods irregular or milk production start. To minimize discomfort, consume­ cabgolin after meals. If problems pe­rsist, talk to your doctor.

Entire thyroid gland is decreased.

Female | 30

Your thyroid gland may be smaller than normal. This can cause hypothyroidism and tiredness, weight gain, and coldness. The primary cause of this is a condition known as hypothyroidism.

Hormonal level imbalance I am a trans Having testosterone 1288 LH 2.46 FSH5

Other | 29

Hormonal equilibrium is the prime condition for human beings, and the variations in testosterone, FSH, and LH would be the obvious signs of such changes as fatigue, mood instability, and sexual problems. These distempers have several reasons, including hormone therapy, other diseases, or way of life. Therefore, the approach should be holistic in this matter. Proper diet, daily workout, and stress management also have a significant influence. I suggest you consider talking to a healthcare provider who is a specialist in transgender health for personalized advice and the possibility of adjusting your treatment plan.

You need to bear in mind that if she hasn't swallowed any of your pills, there may be side effects involved. Track the following symptoms: Stomach Ace, nausea or vomiting, and feeling shaky. If you find any of these, get help from a doctor or poison control center immediately for first advice.

I have high sugar and have low sodium

Male | 65

People should be careful of consuming too much sugar and too little sodium as that can cause them to feel tired, unable to think properly, and generally weak. The sugar levels could rise due to diabetes while the sodium might be reduced through sweating excessively or taking some specific medication. To manage high sugar, one must eat healthily in addition to taking the drugs that have been prescribed for them. A person with low sodium can increase the amount of salt that they take or use drugs which should be administered under strict medical supervision.

I have health issue suffering from TSH <0.01

Female | 22

A TSH level below 0.01 indicates an overactive thyroid, which can cause symptoms like tachycardia, weight loss, and anxiety. This condition may be due to hyperfunctioning of the thyroid, particularly from Graves' disease. Treatment may include medication for symptom relief and therapies targeting the underlying cause. Regular follow-up is essential.

Female | 26

A TSH level of 5.94 might indicate a problem with your thyroid gland. If you're feeling tired, gaining weight, or always feeling cold, these could be signs of an underactive thyroid. Taking a 25 mcg tablet daily can help balance your thyroid hormone levels. However, it's important to consult your doctor and have regular check-ups to stay on track.

My fsh level is 6.24 and lh is 24.1 are they normal

Female | 16

FSH (Follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (Luteinizing hormone) regulate your reproductive system. Increased LH and decreased FSH levels may be the reason for diseases like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or early menopause. Symptoms could be a delay in periods, acquisition of acne, or trouble in pregnancy.

Hello, I have high anxiety. My anxiety likes to convince me that whenever I start to feel hungry, my blood sugar is dropping even if I ate 3-4 hours prior. I don’t have any blood sugar issues, I’ve gotten tested for it before. To put my anxiety at ease, how does blood sugar drop?

Female | 17

Low blood sugar can sometimes be caused by not consuming the food for a very long time or some underlying health issues. Consuming meals and snacks at regular intervals has a positive impact on your blood sugar levels and definitely reduces your anxiety.

I am 26yr old female, I have got blood test done where my LH: FsH ratio came 3.02, my prolactin came 66.5, my sugar was 597 at fasting, my TSH is 4.366 and my RBC count is 5.15.

Female | 26

Based on the results from your blood tests, there are some things we should investigate. High levels of prolactin can be caused by stress, certain medications, or a problem with the pituitary gland in the brain. With a fasting sugar level of 597, you may have diabetes. A TSH level of 4.366 could indicate a problem with your thyroid gland. You should see a doctor and get checked out further for treatment options.

My wife and I are planning to conceive a baby from July. Just wanted which all panchkarma should be done by us as a precautionary measure. my Wife's dad has diabetes.

Male | 31

Panchakarma is a great way to detox the body before getting pregnant. Take all necessary precautions due to your wife’s father being diabetic. Abhyanga (oil massage) and Shirodhara (oil treatment) may be good options for her. These two therapies help lower stress levels and enhance overall health – both vital during pregnancy. Also, seek advice from an Ayurvedic specialist who can provide recommendations based on individual needs and requirements.
