Your thyroid levels appear to be off despite taking the pill. A TSH level of 16 is excessive, this may mean that the amount of the medication your body needs is different. The general signs of a mismanaged thyroid include tiredness, changes in weight, and feeling cold. For better management, it is recommended that you have a discussion with your doctor concerning the adjustment of your medicine.

My wife and I are planning to conceive a baby from July. Just wanted which all panchkarma should be done by us as a precautionary measure. my Wife's dad has diabetes.
Male | 31
Panchakarma is a great way to detox the body before getting pregnant. Take all necessary precautions due to your wife’s father being diabetic. Abhyanga (oil massage) and Shirodhara (oil treatment) may be good options for her. These two therapies help lower stress levels and enhance overall health – both vital during pregnancy. Also, seek advice from an Ayurvedic specialist who can provide recommendations based on individual needs and requirements.

I am 36 years old. I have TSH level of 3.6 microIU/mL. What should be the dose of my medicine. Currently I was prescribed with 50mcg.
Female | 36
If your TSH level tests positive with a figure of 3.6 microIU/mL, this is within limits but slightly on the higher side. Higher than normal TSH levels often come with symptoms like fatigue, unexplained weight gain, and feeling cold when others are warm. In case you are experiencing any of these symptoms, alongside the fact that 50mcg is your current dose, it means that you may need to adjust it depending on what your body demands. You must always consult your doctor when there is a need to do so.

I have PCOS I have been taking the krimson 35 tablet for past 3 days but yesterday I forgot to take it.what happens?? Should I stop or continue
Female | 25
No big deal if you skipped your Krimson 35 pill yesterday. Just carry on taking it as normal today. Missing one dose is generally not a major issue with this medicine. If you've missed more than one dose or notice any strange symptoms, let your gynecologist know.

Yes, you can take a supplement with low vitex while on contraceptive pills. Vitex is an herb that may affect hormone levels. However, if you experience any new symptoms like period changes or mood swings, stop taking the supplement.

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.

The fasting level of 171 is too high for normal blood sugar. It can point to diabetes. Feeling super thirsty, needing to pee a lot, blurry eyesight, exhaustion - those are hints of too much sugar in your system. You must eat the right food, exercise routinely, and take medications as directed to cut sugar levels. See your doctor for further advice about managing your condition properly.

Before I share my worries I have to always note that I am a childhood cancer survivor Osteosarcoma I am now 19 and I was diagnosed at 11, I have been free from cancer since 13 years old I have worries of having cushin disease, I show all the symptoms and researched on YouTube by various videos of different doctors speaking of the subject. I gained a lot of weight in such a rapid speed even though I was very skinny, no matter how heathy I eat eating enough protein, cutting gluten and diary out as well as sugar I feel like i keep gaining weight. I have a fat pad at the back of my neck and the fat seems to go to my back and stomach, have awful bruising on my feet sometimes, horrible exhaustion by just lifting my arms and my bones sound like they crack a lot. Alongside many other symptoms like insulin resistance a doctor noticed due to darkening to my neck, but diabetes was ruled out when I went to a doctor and she said she did see many signs of a hormonal issue just by looking at me, referred me to a endocrinologist. I suspected high cortisol because i have dealt with a history of psychological issues such as diagnosed depression. I am suffering and will see this specialist soon, but my general blood lab tests have been “normal” before, I have read out of fear of not being heard by my doctor that lab tests sometimes do not show abnormal cortisol levels if the cortisol is not or condition of it is not too advanced I want to know all the tests that I need done that are necessary to be diagnosed, and what alternatives can I discuss with my doctors if the labs come out “normal” I am aware i need to advocate for myself sometimes I just dont know how to word it because of fear of seeming ignorant and like i know more than my doctor, I dont think this I just want my pain to be over! I think hearing advice from a professional would be best on how i can best approach advocation for my health.

The symptoms you're experiencing could be related to Cushing's disease. It's important to discuss the necessary tests with your doctor to get an accurate diagnosis. These tests include a cortisol urine test, blood cortisol levels, and an MRI to check your pituitary gland. Cortisol levels can fluctuate, so multiple tests at different times may be needed for a definitive diagnosis. Even if initial tests are normal but your doctor suspects Cushing's disease based on your symptoms, further testing and monitoring might be required. Be open and honest with your doctors, ask questions, and express your concerns to ensure you receive the best care.

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 hair is on china area .And I get a lot of pimples on my face and my hair falls a lot. and fell fatigue and sometimes leg pain and sometimes night fall.So is it due to some hormone? I spoke to a doctor and he said without testing that it is due to progesterone hormone. And if the vision hormone becomes correct then will the other hormones also become correct? Girl unmarried
Female | 23
The symptoms like pimples, hair loss fatigue, leg pain, and nightfall could be a hormonal issue but it may not be correct to think only of progesterone in this case without tests. The body's hormones can be thought of as a team, where if one is out of balance, it might affect the others. To discover the most appropriate treatment, it is crucial to consult an endocrinologist for proper testing and hormone balance guidance for general well-being.

Female | 18
What happens when one lacks certain nutrients is that they might feel fatigued easily, become weak, or even lose their hair among other things. One way through which this trend can be reversed would involve taking fruits and vegetables in plenty to raise vitamin levels while at the same time making sure that you don’t gain excess weight. Another method would be including foods like leafy greens; and citrus fruits within your meals

A thyroid of 3.75 in pregnancy is sometimes a bit elevated. Since the thyroid is an important part of pregnancy, it's mandatory to observe the thyroid level. The common symptoms connected with thyroid disorders are fatigue, rapid weight changes, and anxiety. If it remains high, your gynecologist might prescribe meds to maintain a normal level and therefore to provide support to you and your baby.

Untreated diabetes weight loss medication and urine smells like sewer
Female | 44
If you do not take care of diabetes, you may lose weight. Your pee might also smell bad. This happens when your body cannot use sugar right. It starts using fat and muscle for energy instead. This causes weight loss. To fix this, you must control your diabetes. Eat healthy foods, exercise, and take medicine as told. This will help keep your blood sugar levels normal.
