The reason is that each person achieves puberty at their age. Not developing breasts or getting a period by a certain age are some signs of delayed puberty. The reasons may be different. For example, a person's family history can play a role or some specific medical conditions may be involved. A well-balanced diet, regular exercise, and having a conversation with a nutritionist can be helpful to tackle the issue of delayed puberty.

Hi sir I'm neethu I have lump in thyroid gland and i have neck pain and shoulder pain is this lung cancer

Female | 24

Lumping your thyroid means a doctor needs to e­xamine it. Neck and shoulder discomfort some­times happens with thyroid issues. Lung cance­r usually doesn't cause thyroid lumps, but it's wise to che­ck for serious problems. Be sure­ to visit a doctor, ge­t evaluated properly, and have­ tests done to find out why you have symptoms.

Sugar level 154 is this diabetes or not

Male | 42

A sugar level of 154 might mean diabetes, but it's not definite. Diabetes can cause increased thirst, frequent urination, tiredness, and blurry vision. The causes include genetics, unhealthy eating, and lack of exercise. To know for sure, it's wise to see a healthcare provider. They may recommend a blood test and suggest lifestyle changes or medication.

I'm diagnosed with low vitamin d (14 ng/ml). I feel really exhausted and leg below knee hurt so much. I'm currently taking D rise 2k, Evion LC and Methylcobalamin 500 mcg for past 2 months. How long it will take to cure and I feel normal?

Male | 24

Take supplements like D rise 2K, Evion LC, and Methylcobalamin to boost your levels. It will take a few months for your vitamin D levels to go back to normal and you will start feeling better. Take your supplements as directed, get some sunlight, and eat foods rich in vitamin D like fish and eggs. follow up with your doctor to monitor your progress.

Hi I m on thyroid tablets of 125mcg eltroxin My current tsh is 0.012, t3 - 1.05, t4 - 11.5 Should I reduce the dosage to normalise

Female | 32

Based on the thyroid test results, you have slightly low thyroid levels as your TSH is 0.012. Your present dosage of eltroxin may be too high for you; this could be the case. Besides, these might be the possible reasons: you will feel jittery, lose weight, and have trouble sleeping. To correct the dosage, consult your doctor and suggest doing the treatment at the lower dosage to get your thyroid levels back in balance.

Female | 28

Thyroid meds are crucial during pregnancy. Thyroid issues can pose risks to you and your baby. Skipping medication may le­ad to complications like hypertension or pre­term delivery. No worrie­s, though - the medication is pregnancy-safe­. Follow the doctor's prescription diligently.

I'm male person I need some enquiry to know about sugar disease.

Male | 23

Also referred to as diabetes, sugar disease occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin. The main cause is when the sugars in your body are not used adequately. If one has experienced this, coordinating regular exercises and consuming healthy choices would probably be a wise move.

Is sugar level 106.24 H is valid for medical test ?

Male | 22

The term "106.24 H" is not a standard unit of measurement for blood sugar levels. Blood sugar levels are typically measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or millimoles per liter (mmol/L).

If the value you mentioned, 106.24 H, is in mg/dL or mmol/L, it would be helpful to know the reference range or normal range provided by the specific laboratory or healthcare institution conducting the test.

Male | 27

Feeling low, lacking appetite, and being underweight could indicate an underlying issue. These symptoms might result from not eating enough healthy food, an unhealthy lifestyle, or certain medical conditions. To improve your health, try eating a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and stay hydrated. Regular exercise can also boost your appetite and overall well-being. If these changes don't help, it's advisable to consult a doctor for proper tests and guidance.

Hello Doctor... I am Iman , 19 years old girl who is a diabetic patient for almost 11 years....Doctor.. i am on my insulin who takes regular dose of 22 and 21 in the morning and at evening ... Few weeks later i had started experiencing nocturnal diabetes ... The thing i am unable to wake up in the morning ... My roommates used to wake me up by use of honey and sugary items.. this thing scares me alot ...please help me out ...Thank you

Female | 19

Night hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar in the­ evening, is complex. Be­ing unable to wake up due to this is alarming. It happe­ns when your sugar dips during sleep. You might ne­ed to alter your insulin doses or timing unde­r medical supervision. Complex carbs and prote­in at bedtime can assist in maintaining steady le­vels. Monitor your readings carefully. Discuss any worrie­s with your doctor.

I am 22 years old female. I have pigmentation on my cheeks. I suffered from hair loss in 2022. The hair fall has stopped but I got androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness). My weight is 40 kg. I don't have acne. My periods are regular. But this month blood flow was very less on 3rd day of menstruation. I am afraid are all these related to PCOS?

Female | 22

The symptoms you mentioned, like pigmentation, hair loss, and irregular periods, could be related to PCOS. The underlying cause of these symptoms can be hormonal imbalance. You need to visit a doctor who will make a diagnosis and will offer treatment options.

I was wondering if having sugar levels at 109 is high or low

Female | 17

Having sugar levels at 109 is neither too high nor too low. This is normal. You may not have any symptoms at this level. 109 is a healthy range, but it’s good to keep an eye on it. Eating healthy foods and doing exercise regularly can help you to maintain this level. If your sugar levels go too high or too low, you might feel tired, thirsty, or shaky.

triglyceride level all time between 240 to 300. It does not matter what I am eating. I followed strict diet but still result same. What I have to do?

Male | 26

If your triglycerides are regularly from 240 to 300, that’s high. Usually, too many triglycerides mean you don’t eat well (like junk food all the time) and you don’t do exercise. But sometimes, it can come from your family. Rarely have symptoms but maybe sometimes hurt your stomach or give you pancreatitis. Eat the right things more, exercise, and don’t smoke or drink so much if you want lower levels.

I have period 14 day but whyy? This is normal?

Female | 17

Among the most general triggers for continuous bleeding are hormonal changes, tension, or else certain body conditions. Signs of the disease might be weakness or discomfort. Remember to observe the rise of any other signs like heavy bleeding or severe pain. In that case, or if it keeps for a long time, I would consult with the doctor first of all. They will provide various ideas and will decide whether further observation is necessary.

Male | 30

The two conditions relate to hormone imbalance in the body. Thyroid problems can make you feel tired, gain or lose weight, and shiver. PCOS may cause menstrual irregularities, acne, and fertility problems. The best way to keep these conditions under control is with a healthy lifestyle including regular workouts and a balanced diet. Hormone regulation drugs may be required too.
