Medicines need to be handled with care, especially when nursing. Expired thyroid drugs can become weaker or harmful to your health. While you may not notice immediate effects, it is important to consult your doctor. They will ensure the safety of both you and your baby. Always check the expiration dates on your medications to keep both of you safe.

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.

I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease with TSH level almost zero in August 2023. I was prescribed Methimez 15 mg initially, which was gradually reduced to 2.5mg daily. My TSH level is currently 7.9, FT4=0.82, FT3=2.9. Should I still be taking daily methimez 2.5mg or should I fully stop it/reduce it less than 2.5mg daily since TSH level is currently 7.9. History of medical conditions: I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease in August 2023 with TSH level touching zero. Current medication details: I was prescribed Methimez 15mg daily which was gradually reduced and is currently prescribed at 2.5mg on a daily basis. History of medication for the same complaint: None
Male | 41
Graves' Disease affects thyroid function. Your recent TSH test result at 7.9 shows an imbalance. To regulate hormone levels, continue taking Methimazole 2.5mg daily as prescribed. Stopping this medicine on your own risks causing uncontrolled symptoms. These may include rapid heartbeat, weight fluctuations, and fatigue. If you have any worries or questions, be sure to discuss them with your doctor.

When I wake up in the morning and I haven't even drank, I still pee a lot. comes once but Its range is more and after that I sleep and then I go to the washroom, still I come out with a lot of urine. Its range is more without water. Why is this so? I neither have diabetes nor UTI infection Am unmarried
Female | 22
Human beings tend to urinate more in the morning than in the evening after sleeping for a long period. This is because our kidneys expel more of the blood impurities overnight. Therefore, we should expect to pee more after we wake up. In the absence of other symptoms like pain or unusual color, it is usually normal.

Hi I’m a 23 year old female, I got few test done which says I have UTI and a prolactin level of 33, HCG <2.0, TSH 1.16. Can I know the reason of it ?
Female | 23
UTI means Urinary Tract Infection which can give rise to such symptoms as pain during urination. Prolactin level 33 could be high affecting periods and fertility. HCG <2.0 means you are not pregnant. TSH 1.16 is normal for thyroid function. UTIs can be cured by antibiotics while elevated prolactin may require further assessment by a doctor to determine its cause.

Female | 24
A prolonged white discharge accompanied by severe fatigue can be concerning. High TSH levels may indicate that your thyroid isn't functioning properly, which could be causing these symptoms. Hormonal imbalances can lead to such symptoms and unusual discharge. It's important to discuss these results with an endocrinologist for a thorough examination and appropriate treatment.

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 | 19
Hormonal imbalances with hyperthyroidism can alter your cycle. This may lead to light, scanty menstruation. The good news is that when you return home, it becomes normal again but changes after some time. For you, adjusting medications could be useful in balancing hormones as well as enhancing flow during menses. Have a talk with your doctor about this.
