It's okay to be upset by the changes in your body in puberty. If there's hair down there, puberty has started. Other things like beards or chest hair might take longer to show up. It's also fine if your penis and testicles are kind of small right now - they grow at different rates for everyone.

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.

Female | 26
People with hypothyroidism may worry about taking PCOS supplements. They could impact acne, hair loss, weight gain, plus pregnancy plans. These supplements change hormone levels. That affects thyroid issues too. Always check with a gynecologist first. Get tailored treatment for your needs. Make sure it's pregnancy-safe.

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.

Male | 19
During puberty, it's normal to notice more hair on your legs, hands, and chest, along with a growth spurt. These changes are part of becoming a teenager and are not caused by masturbation. Instead, focus on healthy habits like eating well, exercising, and getting enough sleep.

Female | 45
Disturbing high blood sugar may happen as a post-surgical stress reaction. Ensure that insulin is the only thing she is doing. Besides that, she might also want to eat healthy, work out, and check her sugar levels regularly. If she has a dizziness spell, is thirsty, or feels extremely fatigued, get her to see a doctor immediately.

Over the last one year I have noticed many changes like I have lost a lot of weight, skin has become very dry, eye problems, most of the time my body feel too much week that i can not describe.
Male | 19
Your symptoms suggest you have hyperthyroidism - a thyroid gland producing excessive hormone. Unintended weight loss, dry skin, eye troubles, and fatigue are signs. Your overactive thyroid makes too much hormone. With medical help, pills or therapies treat this condition. Consult an endocrinologist for proper diagnosis and care.

Hi I'm Gopinath. 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. How long it will take to cure and I feel normal
Male | 24
Having low vitamin D can make you feel very tired. It can also cause pain in your legs. The medicines you are taking are good. But it takes time to feel better. It usually takes a few weeks or months for your vitamin D levels to go up. And it takes time to feel normal again. Keep taking your medicines every day.

I have noticed neck darkness, pimples on your face, and excess underarm fat and darkening. I had plantar facilities and breast abscess and bartholin cyst in past history.
Female | 25
Many symptoms are bothering you. Inflammation in the body causing joint pain may be related to PCOS and vitamin deficiencies. Hormonal imbalances could be one reason why your neck has become darker along with the skin underarms. A good way to reduce these signs is to eat balanced meals regularly, exercise often, and manage stress properly. If necessary, you should also take care of yourself more than anything else by seeking help from a medical professional.

Not gaining weight. My age is 19 nd weight is 28 .
Female | 19
People your age should gain weight bit by bit. Perhaps you are not eating enough or have thyroid issues among other things which commonly lead to a lack of weight gain. Have balanced diet meals that are inclusive of proteins, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. To rule out any health complications, go for regular checkups with a physician.

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 | 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.

I accidentally took 2.5 instead of .25 semiglutide. What should I do.
Female | 51
The semaglutide you took too much of may cause stomach discomfort, diarrhea, or increased sweating. The risk of receiving too much is the probability of being unable to lower your blood sugar levels. You should drink water and eat a sweet thing like a piece of candy or juice. Don't worry; if you feel discomfort, you may seek the advice of a medical professional immediately. Please take care!

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.
