Is my thyroid gland decreased?

Entire thyroid gland is decreased.

Answered on 18th Sept '24

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. The solution is to utilize thyroid hormone replacement therapy prescribed by a physician to regulate your thyroid levels and improve these symptoms.

I am 43 yr old male on healthy life style. Suddenly started to gain weight in past 1 month. Need a solution.

Male | 43

Many reasons can lead to weight gain. Among the most popular are: eating more than your body needs, lack of exercise, stress, or medical conditions. Be observant if you're experiencing more fatigue or hunger than usual, and also notice if you have a strange thirst. Do your best to eat balanced meals and be more active. Water is much preferable to sugary drinks as it can help too. Keep an eye on your weight and how you feel. Moreover, if necessary, don't hesitate to visit a doctor.

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.

I'm a 35-year-old female with hypothyroidism. What kind of diet should I follow to manage my condition better and maintain a healthy weight?

Female | 35

Hypothyroidism refers to a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough of the thyroid hormone. You may gain weight easily, feel tired, and have difficulty concentrating. To combat your problem and to maintain a healthy body try to have balanced food. The best way to include them in your diet is to concentrate on whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Sweet stuff and processed foods must be out of your sight. Eating right can have a significant effect on your metabolic rate and the overall performance of your body.

I have swelling in my thyroid so I contacted doctor they suggested fnac.my fnac showed benign thyroid lesion suggestive of benign follicular adenoma of thyroid.does it needs surgery or will it cured with medications

Female | 27

Your test results show a non-cance­rous growth, a follicular adenoma. This means surgery is usually unne­cessary. Regular check-ups may be­ required to monitor it. Sometime­s, medications help relie­ve symptoms like throat pressure­ or discomfort.

im 23. im a female. i took 1mg ozempic as a first dose and im not a diabetic, just for weight loss. since then ive been experiencing side effects like nausea, vomitted twice, heaviness in my stomach area, palpitations, slight difficulty breathing.

Female | 23

You might have an unwanted health reaction after consuming Ozempic despite not being diabetic. The medication can cause nausea, vomiting, the feeling of heaviness in the stomach, palpitations, and shortness of breath because of its impact on your body. Abstain from it instantly and visit a doctor. Your health will be restored as soon as the medicine clears your system.

I am 17 year old female. Today and yesterday I have been feeling extremely lightheaded. Everytime I turn my head it goes fuzzy. I am diagnosed with Anorexia. However I’ve been eating fine recently so I don’t think it’s a nutrition problem. I checked my glucose levels and they are 6.4mmol/L Any ideas??

Female | 17

This might be a case of orthostatic hypotension. It may occur when your blood pressure drops suddenly after a sudden change in position. Anorexia has an effect on the heart, which can result in this problem. Drink more fluids and take it slow when switching positions to make the condition easy to manage. If it persists, talk to your doctor.

I think I have thyroid or PCOS i feel too much nervous, I have anxiety, I'm depressed, I loose so much hair also , feel so much fatigue, even after 8 or more hours of sleep I feel tired, I am always overwhelmed and cry at small things

Female | 18

It see­ms you may have symptoms of thyroid problems or PCOS. Both can make you fe­el stressed, sad, lose­ hair, tired, and overwhelme­d. Thyroid issues happen when the­ thyroid does not work right and impacts hormones. PCOS affects fe­male hormones and may cause similar signs. You should se­e a doctor to get tests done­ and proper care. They can he­lp figure out what is causing these fe­elings.

Female | 37

When the levels of your thyroid are too high or too low, you may experience a lot of discomfort. Signs and symptoms of high levels of thyroid hormone in the bloodstream (hyperthyroidism) can include nervousness, insomnia, and spontaneous weight loss. You will need to collaborate with your doctor to determine the right amount of medication for you. If you think that your levels are off, you must raise this issue with them.

Recently did lab test for LH - 41, FSH - 44, E2 - 777, can you explain what does this reading mean

Female | 50

Hormones like LH, FSH, and E2 affe­ct our bodies. Your levels sugge­st hormone imbalance. Irregular pe­riods, hot flashes, fertility issues - the­se symptoms arise. Stress, me­dications, and medical conditions disrupt balance. Lifestyle­ adjustments, medicines, or hormone­ therapy treat imbalances. Consult a doctor for pe­rsonalized advice.

Before I share my worries I have to always note that I am a childhood cancer survivor Osteosarcoma I am now 19 and I was diagnosed at 11, I have been free from cancer since 13 years old I have worries of having cushin disease, I show all the symptoms and researched on YouTube by various videos of different doctors speaking of the subject. I gained a lot of weight in such a rapid speed even though I was very skinny, no matter how heathy I eat eating enough protein, cutting gluten and diary out as well as sugar I feel like i keep gaining weight. I have a fat pad at the back of my neck and the fat seems to go to my back and stomach, have awful bruising on my feet sometimes, horrible exhaustion by just lifting my arms and my bones sound like they crack a lot. Alongside many other symptoms like insulin resistance a doctor noticed due to darkening to my neck, but diabetes was ruled out when I went to a doctor and she said she did see many signs of a hormonal issue just by looking at me, referred me to a endocrinologist. I suspected high cortisol because i have dealt with a history of psychological issues such as diagnosed depression. I am suffering and will see this specialist soon, but my general blood lab tests have been “normal” before, I have read out of fear of not being heard by my doctor that lab tests sometimes do not show abnormal cortisol levels if the cortisol is not or condition of it is not too advanced I want to know all the tests that I need done that are necessary to be diagnosed, and what alternatives can I discuss with my doctors if the labs come out “normal” I am aware i need to advocate for myself sometimes I just dont know how to word it because of fear of seeming ignorant and like i know more than my doctor, I dont think this I just want my pain to be over! I think hearing advice from a professional would be best on how i can best approach advocation for my health.

The symptoms you're experiencing could be related to Cushing's disease. It's important to discuss the necessary tests with your doctor to get an accurate diagnosis. These tests include a cortisol urine test, blood cortisol levels, and an MRI to check your pituitary gland. Cortisol levels can fluctuate, so multiple tests at different times may be needed for a definitive diagnosis. Even if initial tests are normal but your doctor suspects Cushing's disease based on your symptoms, further testing and monitoring might be required. Be open and honest with your doctors, ask questions, and express your concerns to ensure you receive the best care.

Hi , My belly has been growing day by day and been losing hair , peeing alot and my lower back is very stiff

Female | 23

You might be experiencing symptoms of diabetes. In diabetes, weight gain can lead to a bigger belly, and hair loss may occur. Frequent urination is common as your body tries to remove excess sugar. Lower back stiffness could be related to kidney issues linked with diabetes. It's important to eat healthy, exercise, and see a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Hi mother breast feeding 16 months child Vitamin d is 5 ng/,ml Kindly suggest Any medicine and how to take

Female | 35

It seems that Vitamin D Vitamin D is lacking in your child's body. This can happen if the child does not spend enough time in nature or does not eat the necessary foods. Low levels can lead to weak bones and immunity. But you don't have to worry a lot as children can be given Vitamin D drops and using the drops once in their food will be sufficient. In addition, sunlight exposure for about 10-15 minutes also helps boost Vitamin D.

My father is experiencing pain in his entire body's bones, and it's not decreasing even with medication. He has also developed diabetes, and there is a deficiency of vitamin D as indicated by the test results. He needs to follow up with the doctor for regular check-ups and adhere to the prescribed treatment to improve his health.

Male | 65

The bone pain, diabete­s, and low vitamin D levels are conce­rning. Those symptoms could be from osteomalacia. This is whe­n bones become we­aker due to vitamin D deficie­ncy. It causes pain and increased fracture­ risk. Your dad's doctor will guide the right treatme­nt. This may involve supplements and me­dications. Regular check-ups are important to monitor progre­ss and improve his health over time­.
