Vitamin D Deficiency: Recommended Dose for Level 6
I have a deficiency in vitamin D it is 6 what do you recommend for me especially the dose
General Physician
Answered on 2nd Aug '24
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.

Your hormone therapies' progress is wonderful. Changes often require patience, so don't fret. Continued testosterone treatment may aid your underdeveloped testes and small flaccid penis symptoms. However, consulting your doctor about concerns ensures proper progress tracking.

I did two hba1c tests last month. On one day, my hba1c is 7.9 and the other day it's 6.9. I don't know which one to believe. So I did fbs and ppbs 2 weeks ago. My fbs was 82 and ppbs was 103 I also used medication, and was on a strict diet and exercise from last month. Now I have stopped using medicine. I weighed 107 kgs last month. Now I have lost 6 kgs Am I diabetic? Please answer
Male | 27
It's great that your blood sugar levels are getting better with lifestyle changes. HbA1c test measures the average blood sugar for 2-3 months so, a 6.9 result may be more accurate. Weight loss, exercise, diet changes, and stopping the medicines are all the ones that are working in your case. Make a habit of checking your blood sugar levels regularly and don't let it damage your health.

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.

Thyroid high hone se kya bimri ho jati hai
Male | 17
The thyroid gland creates hormones. Too many hormones mean hyperthyroidism. You may lose weight, feel anxious, have a fast heartbeat, or sweat excessively. Graves' disease causes hyperthyroidism. Medications lower thyroid hormone levels. In severe cases, surgery removes part of the thyroid. If you suspect hyperthyroidism, consult your doctor immediately. They can evaluate symptoms and prescribe treatment.

Low testosterone, vitamin B12, iron, and other vitamin deficiencies are the reasons for you to feel tired and stressed. As a vegetarian, it is essential to include a mix of plant-based foods such as beans, nuts, seeds, and fortified cereals to enhance your nutrient levels.

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.

Female | 21
You lost 10 kg in a year, without trying. Also, you had hair falling out, and vomiting during periods. Taking emergency contraceptive pills frequently may impact your body. These symptoms indicate possible hormone imbalances or lack of nutrients. You should see a gynecologist. They will assess these issues properly.

Male | 24
Having low vitamin D can make you feel very tired. It can also cause pain in your legs. The medicines you are taking are good. But it takes time to feel better. It usually takes a few weeks or months for your vitamin D levels to go up. And it takes time to feel normal again. Keep taking your medicines every day.

I have insulin resistance. Can I drink fennel seeds water as my night drink? Will it help in reducing my blood sugar levels?
Female | 16
Your body may not answer well to insulin, causing elevated blood sugar levels - that's insulin resistance. Taking fennel seeds water is a familiar home treatment, yet proof of its direct effect on decreasing blood sugar amounts is lacking. It's best to concentrate on nutritious eating habits, being active, and using any prescribed medications by your doctor.

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.
