Answered on 23rd Sept '24
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.

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.

The signs include excessive thirst and weariness. To get better, eat healthily, remain active, and take your medication as prescribed by the doctor. Improved lifestyle practices can be a helpful tool in lowering your HbA1c and keeping you healthy.

I am 28 years old and I am taking steroids tablet..can it have side effects???
Female | 28
Steroids can impact your body negatively. Common side effects include weight gain, acne breakouts, mood fluctuations, and sleeping difficulties. This happens because steroids interfere with natural functions within your system. Weight gain and acne result from hormonal changes caused by steroids. Mood swings and insomnia occur when steroids disrupt chemical balances regulating emotions and sleep cycles. If experiencing these issues, consult your doctor immediately.

My c-peptide test results 7.69 Feeling empty stomach and weekness A am non diabetic
Male | 45
If your C-peptide test shows 7.69 and you’re not diabetic then it’s fine. Feeling empty stomachs and weakness can happen for different reasons. It’s common to have low energy when an individual hasn’t eaten anything for a while and this can be solved by taking small but frequent meals. Weakness could be due to lack of sleep, stress or not eating well-balanced meals. Ensure that you always take plenty of fluids and get enough rest.

Is it normal if my Delta-4-Androstenedione is 343.18?
Female | 18
Your Delta-4-Androstenedione level is 343.18. This hormone helps produce testosterone. High or low levels can lead to acne, baldness, or irregular periods. Possible causes include PCOS or adrenal gland issues. It's important to discuss these results with your doctor.

Iam 43 year age and my tsh vale is 15 Which medican i use
Female | 43
The test result of TSH level 15 which is abnormally high implies that your thyroid is not functioning as well as it should. This can cause feelings of fatigue, weight increase, and feeling cold. More often it is caused by insufficient thyroid hormone production as the thyroid gland fails to produce plenty of its hormones. Consult a doctor for proper treatment plan.

I got stuck in decreasing calories and now i don't know how much can i start to eat to avoid refeeding syndrome. I am 20-years old male 185cm/43kg
Male | 20
This is when you eat too few calories for a long period, and suddenly eat a lot; it can be dangerous. Some symptoms include heart problems, difficulty breathing, and weakness. Be sure to start slowly with food again and increase your calorie intake gradually over days or even weeks. Getting checked out by medical professionals would help too so that there won’t be any complications.

I am 32 years guy , I took hormone replacement therapy HRT for 3 months but stopped long time ago Since then I started occasionally to find a few drops of blood in my underwear a bit in the right side in the middle between the front and back despite that I never felt I ma bleeding and also I don't have any injury in this area. I made quick search I found that sometimes happens for a transwoman and is called "Breakthrough" bleeding Just not sure what it is exactly and where this blood came from Is it anything like menstrual bleeding? so if you have an idea about it would be kind to let me know
Male | 32
You may be going through the phenomenon of breakthrough bleeding. Normally, this may happen after taking hormone replacement therapy. The blood you see may not be like menstrual bleeding in your case. It could be your body learning to cope with the hormone changes. Breakthrough bleeding is usually harmless, but it's good to mention it to an endocrinologist.

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.

Noticing a lack of vitamin D can make you feel anxious, tired, weak, and dizzy. It’s good to sunbathe for 20-30 minutes in sun rays. Keep an eye on the level of vitamin D3 in combination with Biteratecals and take advice from a doctor regularly. If you are still facing hair loss then consult a dermatologist.

Your test results show elevated levels in liver enzymes (AST, ALT, Gamma GT), which may indicate liver stress or damage. The higher MPV and kidney function markers also need attention. Visit a hepatologist for liver concerns and a nephrologist for kidney health to get a clear diagnosis and treatment plan. It’s important to follow their advice for further tests or treatments.

Mera tsh level 8.94 hai to plz bataye ki mai 25 mcg tablet lo
Female | 26
When TSH is 8.94, the thyroid doesn't function correctly. You might feel be exhausted, gain extra weight or experience chilly sensations. This happens because of reasons that affect the thyroid gland's performance. A 25 mcg tablet may assist, but consulting a doctor before starting any medication is wise.

I am 20 y.o and experiencing hypogonadism symptoms, yet my bloodwork is completely fine. I tested Testosterone total, testosterone free, TSH, LH, FSH, prolactin, estrogen - everything was within ranges. Still though, symptoms are real: erectile dysfunction, low libido, delayed puberty (no genital growth at all, voice is still too high for a man, facial hair is kinda scarce, pubic hair is dark, but chest hair is nonexistent). Ultrasound showed, that my testicles are around 6.5 ml in volume. What could it be, if not hypogonadism? What else would you suggest testing? I'm going to redo my bloodwork in September
Male | 20
With these symptoms, it seems you are battling the hard times. I would like to recommend checking your adrenal glands and thyroid function, which, if imbalances are found, could cause symptoms similar to the one you are having. Besides, a Klinefelter syndrome genetic test may be worth considering. This syndrome is one that men have which comes from the addition of an X chromosome. It is very positive that you are taking the initiative to have your blood work repeated. That's why we can rule out other potential causes of your symptoms.

Hello Dr, hope ur doing well! 23yrs old female not married Actually i wanna consult u abt taking Progyluton while i don’t have ovarian cysts neither irregular periods just that i got high testosterone 3.01 and prolactin 26.11 levels somehow. One of the physicians prescribe Cabergoline only that decrease prolactin but what abt testosterone as well, so what i gotta take? P.s. there’s hairsuitism only on chin and legs not chest and back Some pustules n papules acne as well but too rare. Thank you:))
Female | 23
High testosterone may cause unwanted hair growth and acne. Cabergoline treats prolactin issues. However, spironolactone tackles excess testosterone, potentially reducing hirsutism and acne by lowering testosterone levels. It's wise to discuss this medication option with your doctor, as their guidance ensures your well-being.

My vitamin d3 test results are 6.4 respectively ,what is the medixation or injection that i should take to improve my d3
Male | 26
Your vitamin D3 level is lower than normal. Vitamin D3 deficiency can give you fatigue and weakness besides bone pain. It often happens when your body lacks exposure to sunlight or to some foods that are rich in vitamin D. For treating this condition, it is advisable to take vitamin D3 supplements that are prescribed by your doctor.

Male | 43
A hbA1c sugar level of 9.1 means that your blood sugar has been high for some time. Even if you do not feel it, high levels can damage your body. Symptoms may not appear immediately. This should be taken seriously. Eating well, exercising, and perhaps medicine may help lower your blood sugar.

You should discuss any insulin regimen changes with a doctor before you do anything. Both Fiasp and Novarapid are rapid-acting insulins to be used to treat diabetes by controlling blood sugar levels. It is recommended to follow only the insulin given by the doctor to avoid any complications.

I'm Farhanaz Parvin I'm 27 years old. HCG 5000 is not working for me.how to take 1000hcg injection?is there a gap of 12 hours will it works?
Female | 27
If the 5000 HCG isn't working well for you, it's best to bring to your doctor's attention for a dosage adjustment. The 1000 HCG injection plus 12 hours is not likely to work and may even cause side effects. The resulting signs can be hormone disturbances and pregnancy problems. The doctor will indicate the correct dosage to help you feel better.
