What medicine and dosage for TSH level 36.80?
My Thyroid TSH level is 36.80 I want to confirm the medicine and dosage
General Physician
Answered on 17th July '24
A TSH level of 36.80 indicates that your thyroid might be malfunctioning. Among its signs and symptoms are getting tired, gaining weight, and always being cold. The so-called hypothyroidism can also be one of the reasons why. Commonly, doctors tend to prescribe drugs based on thyroid hormones such as levothyroxine. The dosage should be calculated by your doctor for your specific needs.

Over the last one year I have noticed many changes like I have lost a lot of weight, skin has become very dry, eye problems, most of the time my body feel too much week that i can not describe.
Male | 19
Your symptoms suggest you have hyperthyroidism - a thyroid gland producing excessive hormone. Unintended weight loss, dry skin, eye troubles, and fatigue are signs. Your overactive thyroid makes too much hormone. With medical help, pills or therapies treat this condition. Consult an endocrinologist for proper diagnosis and care.

I am 26yr old female, I have got blood test done where my LH: FsH ratio came 3.02, my prolactin came 66.5, my sugar was 597 at fasting, my TSH is 4.366 and my RBC count is 5.15.
Female | 26
Based on the results from your blood tests, there are some things we should investigate. High levels of prolactin can be caused by stress, certain medications, or a problem with the pituitary gland in the brain. With a fasting sugar level of 597, you may have diabetes. A TSH level of 4.366 could indicate a problem with your thyroid gland. You should see a doctor and get checked out further for treatment options.

I have a deficiency in vitamin D it is 6 what do you recommend for me especially the dose
Female | 10
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.

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.

I've been gaining weight suddenly , I have had PCOS for 4 years now but suddenly last year I started gaining weight , i changed from 58kg to 68 kg in just a year or so . I've not changed by diet much but still I am gaining weight, and when I try to exercise I am getting really short of breath , I can't even exercise the most simple things
Female | 22
The weight gain could be due to your PCOS which can produce imbalances in hormones and influence metabolism. The shortness of breath accompanying exercise could indicate poor fitness or be a symptom of an underlying health problem. A gynecologist's visit is needed for a full assessment and advice on how to handle your PCOS and weight issues. In the meantime, try gentle exercises like walking and focus on a balanced diet to help improve your health.

I am 32 years guy , I took hormone replacement therapy HRT for 3 months but stopped long time ago Since then I started occasionally to find a few drops of blood in my underwear a bit in the right side in the middle between the front and back despite that I never felt I ma bleeding and also I don't have any injury in this area. I made quick search I found that sometimes happens for a transwoman and is called "Breakthrough" bleeding Just not sure what it is exactly and where this blood came from Is it anything like menstrual bleeding? so if you have an idea about it would be kind to let me know
Male | 32
You may be going through the phenomenon of breakthrough bleeding. Normally, this may happen after taking hormone replacement therapy. The blood you see may not be like menstrual bleeding in your case. It could be your body learning to cope with the hormone changes. Breakthrough bleeding is usually harmless, but it's good to mention it to an endocrinologist.

Planing to take multivitamin tablet before going to sleep, every night. Is there any risky side effects? And if there is no risk Can i know how much dosage should i take as a 16 year old, 49kg boy.
Male | 16
Many people think about their health, like taking a multivitamin. Having it before sleep is usually ok. But, you can't take too much. A 16-year-old boy weighing 49kg should follow the dosage instructions carefully. Overdoing certain vitamins may cause issues. For example, an upset stomach or headaches. If you notice anything unusual after taking the multivitamin, like stomach pain or rashes, stop right away. Talk to a doctor.

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.

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.

Male | 30
Consuming 9mg of boron per day may be harmful, particularly if you are thinking about consuming 3 tablets with 3mg of boron in each. The upper limit of boron overdose is manifested in symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Get in touch with a endocrinologist before starting any new supplements to make sure of their safety and efficacy.

Male | 75
These might be symptoms of many things such as an infection or not drinking enough fluid. However, there are some things which could help in the meantime: make sure that you drink plenty of water, and get some rest. But if this goes on much longer without any improvement then I would advise seeking medical attention. They can give you proper treatment for whatever is causing all these different problems.

Hi I m on thyroid tablets of 125mcg eltroxin My current tsh is 0.012, t3 - 1.05, t4 - 11.5 Should I reduce the dosage to normalise
Female | 32
Based on the thyroid test results, you have slightly low thyroid levels as your TSH is 0.012. Your present dosage of eltroxin may be too high for you; this could be the case. Besides, these might be the possible reasons: you will feel jittery, lose weight, and have trouble sleeping. To correct the dosage, consult your doctor and suggest doing the treatment at the lower dosage to get your thyroid levels back in balance.
