Why do I have hypogonadism symptoms with normal bloodwork?
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

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.

Increased risk for diabetes (prediabetes): 5.7-6.4% Diabetes: > or =6.5% When using Hemoglobin A1c to diagnose diabetes, an elevated Hemoglobin A1c should be confirmed with a repeat measurement, fasting glucose, or other test for diagnosing diabetes. All hemoglobin A1c methods are affected by conditions that increase or decrease red blood cell survival. Falsely high results may be seen with iron deficiency or splenectomy. Falsely normal or low results may be seen with hemolytic anemias, unstable hemoglobins, end-stage renal disease, recent or chronic blood loss, or following transfusions.

If you have a Hemoglobin A1c level of 5.7-6.4%, you are at risk for diabetes. If your level is 6.5% or higher, it means that you have diabetes. Signs of this condition include thirstiness, frequent urination, weariness, or unclear eyesight at times. Overeating, genetics combined with little or no physical activity could be the cause behind it all or some of these symptoms coming up. Controlling your blood sugar requires eating well-balanced meals regularly and exercising often if not daily; medication may also be necessary depending on other factors such as age, sex, race, etc.

Is my vitamin b12 and vitamin d normal? If not what medicine should i take or any other solution Vitamin B12-109 L pg/ml Vitamin d3 25 oh -14.75 ng/ml
Male | 24
Judging by your levels of Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D, it appears that they are low. Low B12 can be a reason for feeling tired and weak. Low Vitamin D can be a reason for bone pain and muscle weakness. You may need to get B12 and Vitamin D supplements. Besides, it's good to consume foods that are rich in these vitamins like fish, eggs, and dairy products.

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.

Male | 56
Normal blood sugar levels are between 70 and 140 mg/dL. If the levels drop, symptoms like shakiness and dizziness occur. Higher levels lead to thirst and fatigue. Balancing meals and exercise maintains stable sugar readings. Consult a doctor for concerns regarding your sugar levels.

Your potassium levels are slightly high, but there's no need to worry. High potassium levels in your body might not cause any symptoms, but a weak or irregular heartbeat could be a sign of it. Possible causes include diet, certain medications, or kidney problems. To lower your potassium level, you can try changing your diet or consult your doctor for advice.

Female | 22
A few common symptoms, like loss of appetite, periodic fever, and sinus pain, are severe. Such signs could probably be associated with an allergic reaction to something in the air, sinus, or PCOD. One common cause of allergic reactions might also be the frequent inhalation of dust or consuming some food. Drink a lot of water and eat a balanced meal. Besides staying healthy, other important tips are to try to get as much rest and release stress as possible. If these symptoms recur, see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Male | 37
A blood glucose test result of hemoglobin A1c level 5.9 tells you that your blood sugar level is a little bit higher than normal but it doesn't automatically mean that you are diagnosed with diabetes. Diabetes may cause you to have a dry mouth, go to the bathroom too often, and feel extremely hungry. The origin of these can be both hereditary and lifestyle.

Age:- 48 yrs Male, Got tested HbA1c n reported as>10% , & Mean blood glucose level is 263.3 mg/ dl.
Male | 48
It looks like the blood sugar level of this 48-year-old person is extremely high. If the HbA1c is over 10% and the average blood glucose level is 263.3 mg/dL, it means the diabetes is not well controlled. Common symptoms include frequent urination, thirst, weight loss, and tiredness. This could be due to not taking medications properly or not following a healthy diet. To manage this, eat a balanced diet, take their medicines as prescribed, and exercise regularly.

I am having hypothyroidism. Can I visit Keva Ayurveda for best hypothyroidism treatment?
Female | 23
Your thyroid gland makes hormones that control how your body works. Hypothyroidism means the gland doesn't make enough of these hormones. You may feel tired all the time. Gaining weight unexpectedly can happen too. Feeling cold more often than normal is another symptom. One treatment option is Ayurveda. Keva Ayurveda uses herbs and lifestyle changes to help balance hormones and bodily functions. Their therapies might ease your hypothyroidism symptoms through methods like herbal remedies. But don't try anything new without talking to your regular doctor first.

Hello I am 20 years old since I was child I always have just a little energy for example when start to run after a few minute I feel very tired . I have a normal weight and height. I got a test now I know that I have subclinical Hypothyroid . I want to know it has a cure.
Male | 20
You seem to be having subclinical hypothyroidism. This illness is not transitory, and, hence, thyroid function also decreases; this is an example. The most common symptoms are fatigue, weight gain, and cold bones. It is good to have your tests done and know the cause. The procedure generally includes taking thyroid medicines that can help balance you out. Often, they manage to bring you improvement and give you a lot of energy.

Hello doctor i m 28 years old married women since from 2 years i m trying to conceive but nothing is happen my period is irregular sometimes i consult 2 doctors they referred some scans and test i did every test in reports everything is normal mine also by husbund still i m not getting conceive recently i consult one more doctor she told because of weight your not getting she told go for iui please can you suggest what should i do now can i go for iui or take some other medication
Female | 28
For IUI your fallopians tubes must be open.
To check Fallopian tubes we need a diagnostic hysterolaparoscopy, wherein a telescope is put into your abdomen from your belly button, so as to check the exterior of your uterus as well as the external opening of the Fallopian tubes.
Additionally, we have to do a hysteroscopy as well, that is putting a telescope into your vaginal opening and then having a look at the inner lining and the internal opening of your tube.
If your tubes are normal then you have unexplained case of infertility, and same has been observed in few instances in past. Sometimes there are no reasons for infertility as such, but this can be concluded only if your reports and that of your husband's turn out to be normal.
If you are overweight then you should also follow a healthy diet & exercise routine.
After doing all of this you can go ahead with IUI, if at all you have unexplained infertility. It can be done for 4-5 cycles.
You can approach any doctor from this page - Ivf doctors in India, or you can come to me as well, whichever you feel is convenient.

Female | 20
Hirsutism means a person has male-pattern hair growth. This can appear on the face, chest, and back among other places. To treat it, some people use a medicine called Aldactone (spironolactone). However, it might bring down your blood pressure so make sure to consult a doctor before taking it if you’re concerned about your safety. Don't start any new medications without talking with healthcare providers about them too!

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 | 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.

Female | 29
You should see a rheumatologist for your uric acid issue and a specialist endocrinologist for your thyroid problem. For Vitamin D deficiency, a general physician or an endocrinologist can help. The pain and swelling in your legs could be due to high uric acid levels or thyroid issues. It's best to consult these specialists for proper treatment.
