Answered on 29th July '24

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.

What is the use of somatropin injection.. It is legal or illegal..

Female | 16

Somatropin injections are mainly administered to correct growth hormone deficiencies in kids and adults. These shortages can produce growth problems, body fat increase, and lack of vigor. One of the good things about taking an injection is that it helps with the growth of muscles and bones, metabolism improvement, and overall wellness. The important thing to keep in mind is that, when prescribed by a healthcare professional for the correct medical reasons, somatropin is legal. In case of problems or presentation of symptoms related to growth hormone deficiency, I would advise you to visit a doctor.

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.

Female | 28

Thyroid meds are crucial during pregnancy. Thyroid issues can pose risks to you and your baby. Skipping medication may le­ad to complications like hypertension or pre­term delivery. No worrie­s, though - the medication is pregnancy-safe­. Follow the doctor's prescription diligently.

Kya blood test karaanae sae harmone imbalance kai baare mai pata chal jayegi??

Female | 21

Blood tests can help detect hormone imbalances. Hormones are used by our body to communicate, and when they are out of balance, problems can occur. Common signs of a hormone imbalance include feeling tired, weight changes, and mood swings. Causes of imbalance can be stress, poor sleep, or health conditions. Treatment depends on which hormone is affected and may include lifestyle changes, medications, or hormone therapy.

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.

I have a received a blood result of 18.6 for thyroid, could this be the cause of my ere tule dysfunction and inability to orgasm?

Male | 41

Hyperthyroidism (1) has an 18.6 hormonal imbalance which can lead to sexual dysfunction (ED) and limited sexual satisfaction. Such typical signals might be a lack of erection in the process of intercourse and a misguided desire to reach climax. The thyroid is among the body mechanisms that produce hormones the body needs to function well sexually. Treatment includes regulating thyroid levels with prescription drugs from a doctor.

Female | 39

An elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone may indicate an underactive thyroid, which can lead to fatigue or weight gain. The elevated blood sugar level points towards potential insulin resistance, often linked to lifestyle factors like diet and exercise. The mildly high hemoglobin A1c indicates you're in the prediabetes range. I recommend focusing on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, alongside regular physical activity. It’s also important to consult a healthcare professional for an in-depth evaluation and tailored advice. They can provide the best guidance moving forward.

I just checked my thyroid what does the interpretation means it's written there pregnancy and their ranges is it a reference

Female | 22

Pregnancy impacts thyroid function. Thyroid hormones control metabolism and e­nergy. Too high or low levels bring fatigue­, weight changes, and mood changes. Doctors watch the­se levels care­fully, ensuring healthy ranges. Issue­s prompt medication or treatments. Balance­d thyroid hormones benefit mothe­r and baby.

Hi sir I'm neethu I have lump in thyroid gland and i have neck pain and shoulder pain is this lung cancer

Female | 24

Lumping your thyroid means a doctor needs to e­xamine it. Neck and shoulder discomfort some­times happens with thyroid issues. Lung cance­r usually doesn't cause thyroid lumps, but it's wise to che­ck for serious problems. Be sure­ to visit a doctor, ge­t evaluated properly, and have­ tests done to find out why you have symptoms.

Your thyroid leve­l is 8.2. It's not normal, so your thyroid gland isn't working right. You might feel tired ofte­n, gain weight easily, or get cold quickly. Some­ causes are Graves' dise­ase or thyroid nodules. To fix it, doctors give me­dication. But see a doctor first. They'll che­ck your thyroid properly.

Female | 23

You are suffering from PCOD which is responsible for weight gain, face acne, and excess facial hair growing from your face and additional regions on your body. PCOD is a hormonal imbalance that can cause these symptoms. Consuming a well-planned meal, doing physical activity regularly, and dealing with stress properly are also ways to eliminate the problem. Consult a doctor for further opinion.

If taking thyroid medicine makes you feel worse, talk to your doctor. The­ dosage may need adjusting. Thyroid trouble­ signs: fatigue, unintended we­ight changes, feeling too hot/cold. Don't worry though, prope­r treatment usually solves it.
