Answered on 28th Aug '24
At nineteen years old, your body approaches completion of its natural growth cycle. Consuming growth hormones likely won't significantly augment your height anymore. Instead, prioritize a balanced nutritional intake, consistent physical activity, and adequate sleep patterns to nurture overall well-being. Should any apprehensions persist, consulting an endocrinologist specializing in hormone-related matters could yield tailored recommendations specific to your circumstances.

I have tested full body and found testosterone is 356 level, vitamin b12 is in deficiency, iron and other vitamin are also low, i feel tired whole day, streesed. What to do i need help on this and i am fully vegetarian
Male | 24
Low testosterone, vitamin B12, iron, and other vitamin deficiencies are the reasons for you to feel tired and stressed. As a vegetarian, it is essential to include a mix of plant-based foods such as beans, nuts, seeds, and fortified cereals to enhance your nutrient levels. Taking supplements prescribed by a doctor might also be of assistance. Get enough rest and manage stress to feel better.

The ultrasound report indicates that your thyroid gland is within normal size and structure, with a small cyst and two benign colloid nodules, which are generally harmless. The presence of some lymph nodes is common and not unusual, particularly if they are small and observed during imaging. While these findings are generally not alarming, it’s wise to discuss them with your endocrinologist to ensure that monitoring or further evaluation is appropriate. Maintaining regular check-ups can provide peace of mind and clarity regarding your health.

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.

I Have deficiency of Vitamin D In lab report it shows 11ng Somthing So I started Taking 5000UI Daily but in internet there is Problem called Blood Calcification Somthing Do I need any other Tablets like Magnesium Zic K2?
Male | 21
Vitamin D deficiency can lead to symptoms like fatigue, bone pain, and muscle weakness. Your lab result indicates a significant low level, and starting 5,000 IU daily is a common approach for repletion. It's essential to monitor calcium levels, as excessive vitamin D can contribute to calcification. Adding magnesium, zinc, or vitamin K2 may support overall health, but it’s best to consult your healthcare provider before making any changes. They can tailor a plan based on your specific needs and ensure safe supplementation. Regular check-ups are important for monitoring progress and adjusting dosages as needed.

Female | Shahzadi
A low TSH level and elevated T3 can indicate hyperthyroidism. Symptoms might include fatigue, rapid heartbeat, and mood swings. This condition can arise from several causes, including autoimmune disorders. It's crucial to monitor this situation closely, as thyroid imbalances can affect your pregnancy. I highly recommend discussing these results with your healthcare provider, who can assess your specific situation and suggest appropriate treatments if necessary.

Female | 10
Your Vitamin D level of 6 is quite low, and it's important to address this. Usually, doctors recommend a high dose of Vitamin D supplements, often around 50,000 IU once a week for a few months, followed by a maintenance dose. However, it’s best to consult an endocrinologist for the right dosage and treatment plan for your specific needs.

Testosterone aur estrogen ke levels ka imbalance kabhi-kabhi nightfall, yaani involuntary ejaculation, ke wajah ban sakta hai.

For morning I eat besan or dal chilla or boiled chana.
Female | 33
It is good you are taking care of your diabetes with insulin and good food. But, blood sugar can be hard to control during pregnancy because of hormone changes. Eating two rotis with dal and sabji, plus an apple and nuts is a wise choice. Check your blood sugar at different times to see how your body reacts to food and insulin. You may need to change your insulin doses with your doctor's help.

Having a sugar level of 444 is dangerous as it is extremely high. It may make you feel thirsty, and tired, and go to the bathroom too frequently. High sugar levels generally occur in diabetics. To reduce the number, you should react promptly. Drink water, consume sugar at a slower pace, and take the medicine as indicated by the doctor.

Iam 36 years old. Two days back my lips vibrating.. One hour there gone.. Then today morning same vibrating lips.. Not stop.. What is the reason.. I have thiroid and vitamin d deficiency..
Female | Anumol jeejo
Vibrating or twitching lips can be linked to several factors, including stress, fatigue, or low nutrient levels, especially with your existing thyroid condition and vitamin D deficiency. These spasms may also signal dehydration or anxiety. It’s reassuring that they often resolve on their own. However, to ensure your well-being, please consider consulting a healthcare provider. They can assess your overall health, check your vitamin levels, and provide tailored advice. Staying hydrated, managing stress, and ensuring a balanced diet are beneficial steps you can take.

I am 23 year old i have facial hair period cramps and my weight is increasing
Female | 23
At 23, experiencing facial hair growth, menstrual discomfort, and weight gain may stem from hormonal imbalances, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Hormones can affect various bodily functions, leading to these symptoms. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management can help regulate hormones and improve overall well-being. Tracking your menstrual cycle may also provide useful insights. I recommend consulting a gynecologist to discuss your symptoms and explore potential solutions tailored to your needs.

Male | 52
Excessive weight loss and too little sleep are some reasons that could be due to worry, an unhealthy diet, or maybe some other ailments such as hyperthyroidism. It is great to hear that your hemoglobin is within limits and your ECG is normal, yet it is probably useful to chat with your doctor to get an idea about what your dearth of sleep stems from. Don't forget to tell your doctor about all your symptoms and worries, so they can help you understand the best solution to your problem.

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.

I have insulin resistance. Can I drink fennel seeds water as my night drink? Will it help in reducing my blood sugar levels?
Female | 16
Your body may not answer well to insulin, causing elevated blood sugar levels - that's insulin resistance. Taking fennel seeds water is a familiar home treatment, yet proof of its direct effect on decreasing blood sugar amounts is lacking. It's best to concentrate on nutritious eating habits, being active, and using any prescribed medications by your doctor.
