Hello , I am 27 years old and i have testosterone value 2.89 ng/mL . And i make exercises fitness 3/4 days in week My question is : Can i take some testosterone ?

Male | 27

At your age, having a level of testosterone at 2.89ng/mL is right where it should be. There are several symptoms associated with lowT which include high fatigue levels, decreased libido, and even mood swings. It might be stress or some medical problems causing it; see a doctor before taking testosterone because if not done properly this could harm your body. If you sustain your exercise routine, eat well-balanced meals daily, and have adequate sleep every night -these activities will help maintain normal levels of this hormone.

Female | 13

A 13-year-old may still have some growing to do. The growth spurt during puberty is different for everyone. Most girls stop growing taller between 14 and 16 years old. However, it is true that a few factors that can affect a person's height are genetics and nutrition. Environmental factors (nutrition) and genetic endowments are the ways to ensure her growth. If you want her to grow, make sure she's getting a sufficient diet and moving a lot.

Male | 43

Many reasons can lead to weight gain. Among the most popular are: eating more than your body needs, lack of exercise, stress, or medical conditions. Be observant if you're experiencing more fatigue or hunger than usual, and also notice if you have a strange thirst. Do your best to eat balanced meals and be more active.

I have hyperthyroidism and my tsh value is at 15.i want medicine recommendation for it

Female | 21

Hyperthyroidism is when the thyroid gland makes too much thyroid hormone. It can cause symptoms such as weight loss, sweating, and feeling nervous. A TSH value of 15 is considered high, which indicates an underactive thyroid. Levothyroxine could be prescribed to correct this by balancing out your levels of thyroid hormones. Be sure to follow your doctor’s advice.

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.

Suddenly I found my sugar level is 33 I feel very bad.. What should I do now. Its urgent

Male | 32

A sugar leve­l of 33 is dangerously low. Symptoms like shakiness, dizzine­ss, sweatiness, and confusion occur. This happens whe­n insulin dosages are high or food intake is insufficie­nt. The immediate fix is consuming sugary ite­ms like juice, soda, or candy. These­ quickly raise blood sugar levels. Afte­r that, eat protein-rich snacks to stabilize it. Discussing this e­pisode with your doctor is crucial.
