Could PCOS be causing my pigmentation, hair loss, and irregular periods?

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?

Answered on 29th July '24

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.

Male | 73

Your insulin lowers blood sugar, causing dizzine­ss when levels drop in e­vening. Eating raises blood sugar, helping dizzine­ss. Consume snacks before 6 pm to te­st if it improves. Persistent dizzine­ss requires discussion with healthcare­ provider. Small adjustments may make big diffe­rence. Freque­nt monitoring helps regulate sugar fluctuations. Maintaining stable­ levels preve­nts dizzy spells. Seeking me­dical guidance ensures prope­r care.

I am 24 years old I have thyroid symptoms

Female | 24

This is a gland in the neck that can cause tiredness, weight gain, and loss, or feelings of anxiety and depression. When too much or too little hormone is produced by this organ these symptoms may arise. To confirm the diagnosis, go for some blood tests at the doctor’s office. If there is an issue, don’t worry – there are treatments available that will help to balance the levels of thyroid hormones within your body.

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.

Hi, I am premaltha 27 year old i have thyroid issue.. i need consultation on my recent test report. Result is t3 :133, t4 : 7.78 and tsh 11.3..

Female | 27

From your test results, your thyroid is not producing enough desired functional capabilities. This can bring about warning signs like fatigue, weight gain, and sensitivity to cold. A high TSH level indicates that thyroid hormone production needs to be regulated again. The doctor may advise you on the kind of medication to take that works best for you.

I have a deficiency in vitamin D it is 6 what do you recommend for me especially the dose

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.

Male | 45

Based on the symptoms and test results, it appears that your body might not be producing enough insulin. This is known to cause low sugar, weakness, and hunger. Even if you’re not diabetic, such problems could be related to insulin. Attempt taking small frequent meals high in protein and fiber. Seek further assessment and advice from a doctor if these symptoms persist.

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.

Male | 25

Estrogen imbalance­s can lead to brain fog. Brain fog makes it difficult to focus, reme­mber things, and stay clear-heade­d. High estrogen leve­ls disrupt hormonal balance, causing brain fog symptoms. If high estrogen cause­s your brain fog, doctors may recommend lifestyle­ adjustments, medications, or hormone the­rapy to restore balance.

Female | 29

Your symptoms are likely caused by Cushing's syndrome. This results from your body's overproduction of cortisol. This may include weight gain, lethargy, and mood swings. A doctor should be consulted to receive a diagnosis through tests. Typically, a doctor either gives you medication or does surgery to decrease the cortisol levels for the treatment.

I am 26yr old female, I have got blood test done where my LH: FsH ratio came 3.02, my prolactin came 66.5, my sugar was 597 at fasting, my TSH is 4.366 and my RBC count is 5.15.

Female | 26

Based on the results from your blood tests, there are some things we should investigate. High levels of prolactin can be caused by stress, certain medications, or a problem with the pituitary gland in the brain. With a fasting sugar level of 597, you may have diabetes. A TSH level of 4.366 could indicate a problem with your thyroid gland. You should see a doctor and get checked out further for treatment options.

thing..my daughter is 13 yrs old n 165 cms tall..she had her first period 2.4 years back.father height 5.8 inch n mother height 5.1 inch..can she get few more inches.or she has got adult height...pls suggest

Female | 13

A 13-year-old may still have some growing to do. The growth spurt during puberty is different for everyone. Most girls stop growing taller between 14 and 16 years old. However, it is true that a few factors that can affect a person's height are genetics and nutrition. Environmental factors (nutrition) and genetic endowments are the ways to ensure her growth. If you want her to grow, make sure she's getting a sufficient diet and moving a lot.

Male | 40

You may be experiencing symptoms of a condition known as diabetic neuropathy. What happens is if your nerves are destroyed by the overdose of sugar in your blood then it may cause pain in the blood and weakness in the body. Diabetes can cause pain in your joints. But you can control your diabetes to improve your health and doing so would prevent many other diseases. Stick to your medication schedule, learn how to balance your diet, and make an exercise routine that you are going to stick to.

I an 24 year old female my T4is 12.90 and TSH 2.73 , T3=1.45 and Hemoglobin=11.70. I there a matter of concern

Female | 24

Hi there, after looking at your results, it seems to me that with a few exceptions, your thyroid levels are normal. Just to mention the numbers, all TSH, T3, and T4 are great, and hemoglobin appears slightly low, enough to cause symptoms like tiredness and dizziness, or lack thereof. Increasing iron intake through food may help boost the hemoglobin level.

I am a 38 year old man. In december 2023 I made a blood test and my HBA1C was 7.5%. Two months later it dropped to 6.8%. After 6 months I made another blood test and it was 6.2%. My question is: is it type 2 diabetes? Just for information, last year October and November were very stressful for me. Thanks in advance

Male | 38

Based on the information you shared, it seems that your blood sugar levels have been improving, which is a great relief! Your HbA1c falling from 7.5% to 6.2% over time is a good sign. Stress can also be a contributing factor to blood sugar levels, and thus, it could be one of the considerations. Monitor your health, eat healthy, stay active, and have regular check-ups with your doctor to monitor your blood sugar levels.
