Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can involve both elevated testosterone and estrogen levels, often leading to symptoms like irregular periods, weight gain, and acne. Estrogen levels can vary among individuals with PCOS; they may be higher or lower depending on the hormonal balance. It's crucial to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and tailored treatment options. Lifestyle changes such as a balanced diet and regular exercise can also help manage symptoms.

A thyroid of 3.75 in pregnancy is sometimes a bit elevated. Since the thyroid is an important part of pregnancy, it's mandatory to observe the thyroid level. The common symptoms connected with thyroid disorders are fatigue, rapid weight changes, and anxiety. If it remains high, your gynecologist might prescribe meds to maintain a normal level and therefore to provide support to you and your baby.

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.

Female | 24
It sounds like you’re experiencing chronic fatigue and a sensation of heat in your body. Possible reasons could include hormonal imbalances, anxiety, or even nutritional deficiencies. While your tests show normal results, it’s important to consider lifestyle factors such as diet, hydration, and stress management. Engaging in regular physical activity, ensuring proper nutrition, and practicing relaxation techniques might help alleviate your symptoms. However, given the duration and persistence of your issues, I encourage you to consult an endocrinologist for a comprehensive evaluation and targeted treatment plan.

Female | 25
No big deal if you skipped your Krimson 35 pill yesterday. Just carry on taking it as normal today. Missing one dose is generally not a major issue with this medicine. If you've missed more than one dose or notice any strange symptoms, let your gynecologist know.

My Vitamin d is 5. Is this very low and what symptoms i might feel in daily life?
Female | 29
A Vitamin D level of 5 is quite low. It can lead to symptoms like tiredness, muscle weakness, bone pain, and getting sick often. This can happen because your body needs Vitamin D to stay strong and healthy. You can increase your Vitamin D level by spending time in the sun, taking supplements, and eating foods like fish and eggs that contain Vitamin D.

Hormone imbalance could be the issue you have. Hormones act as the messengers in our bodies, and if they are not in balance, it can result in all the symptoms you are experiencing. Ask for an appointment with the endocrinologist. These professionals are interested in hormones and can assist with finding out the problem. They may recommend tests, medications, or behavioral changes to facilitate your improvement.

I am 30 weeks pregnant with diabetis. I am on 12 unit insulin for lunch and dinner. And 14 unit in the night for next day fasting level. I am not eating anything sweet or rice or potato still my sugar is not in control. I eat only two roti dal and sabji in day and night. In the middle I eat apple and nuts. Only. Can you guide what could be the issue. Should I increase my insulin unit. Sometimes with the same food same unit of insulin it comes normal in range like 110 but most of the time it comes 190. For morning I eat besan or dal chilla or boiled chana.
Female | 33
It is good you are taking care of your diabetes with insulin and good food. But, blood sugar can be hard to control during pregnancy because of hormone changes. Eating two rotis with dal and sabji, plus an apple and nuts is a wise choice. Check your blood sugar at different times to see how your body reacts to food and insulin. You may need to change your insulin doses with your doctor's help.

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.
