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.

Stopping teriparatide suddenly may impact bone strength. Though you won't feel effects immediately, over time, reduced density weakens bones and fracture risk rises. Don't miss doses; following doctor's orders is key to reinforce bone health and avoid issues.

My total bilirubine level was 2, (direct was 0.2 and indirect 1.8) I have normal ALT, AST, LDH and GGT, also a normal ultrasound( no problems where found on ultrasound). My Cholesterol was also very high (300) and LDL 230. Should I worry about the liver? SHould I start statin for my cholesterol and could my high colesterol be related to hashimotos?. My height is 180 CM and wight for the moment 75 KG. I have been overweight for many years. Max weight wa 90 kg
Male | 32
Your bilirubin is a bit high but your liver enzymes as well as the ultrasound tests are normal which is good news. High cholesterol can go with Hashimoto's - your thyroid problem. Looking at your LDL levels, it might be good to start taking a statin so that you can reduce this kind of cholesterol in your body. It will also help if you work on your weight and try living healthy.

Male | 35
It sounds like you have high triglyceride levels. It may be related to too much consumption of saturated fat or a lack of physical activity. High triglycerides can cause heart problems, including heart attack or stroke. To lower them, you need to adopt a new lifestyle such as choosing fresh food and working out regularly. Sometimes, help from a medicine can also bring down your levels.

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.

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.

Yes, it is the high perplexity of antibiotics like Strovid Ofloxacin that makes them interfere with your menstrual cycle. Among the reasons may be this interaction of it with the hormones responsible for menstruation. These factors can also cause delays, such as stress, sickness, or weight change. In case your pregnancy test is negative, try to de-stress. Your menstruation will come in the next few days. If it is still late, you can get connected with a gynecologist.

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.
