Answered on 13th June '24
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 am 22 years old female. I have pigmentation on my cheeks. I suffered from hair loss in 2022. The hair fall has stopped but I got androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness). My weight is 40 kg. I don't have acne. My periods are regular. But this month blood flow was very less on 3rd day of menstruation. I am afraid are all these related to PCOS?
Female | 22
The symptoms you mentioned, like pigmentation, hair loss, and irregular periods, could be related to PCOS. The underlying cause of these symptoms can be hormonal imbalance. You need to visit a doctor who will make a diagnosis and will offer treatment options.

My name is Mohan .I have diabetic,cholestrol and thyroid.i am taking a medicine.(diabetes tablets 1000 mg 2 time per day) Now I am feeling too sleepy at day time. Why feeling sleepy mood ?
Male | 47
Feeling sleepy during the day could be because of your diabetes medicine. Sometimes diabetes medicines can make you sleepy. Also, having diabetes, cholesterol, and thyroid issues all together can make you feel tired. Make sure you're eating well, getting enough sleep, and moving around during the day. If it keeps bothering you, talk to your healthcare provider to see if they can adjust your medicine or suggest other options.

Hi mother breast feeding 16 months child Vitamin d is 5 ng/,ml Kindly suggest Any medicine and how to take
Female | 35
It seems that Vitamin D Vitamin D is lacking in your child's body. This can happen if the child does not spend enough time in nature or does not eat the necessary foods. Low levels can lead to weak bones and immunity. But you don't have to worry a lot as children can be given Vitamin D drops and using the drops once in their food will be sufficient. In addition, sunlight exposure for about 10-15 minutes also helps boost Vitamin D.

Hello Dr, hope ur doing well! 23yrs old female not married Actually i wanna consult u abt taking Progyluton while i don’t have ovarian cysts neither irregular periods just that i got high testosterone 3.01 and prolactin 26.11 levels somehow. One of the physicians prescribe Cabergoline only that decrease prolactin but what abt testosterone as well, so what i gotta take? P.s. there’s hairsuitism only on chin and legs not chest and back Some pustules n papules acne as well but too rare. Thank you:))
Female | 23
High testosterone may cause unwanted hair growth and acne. Cabergoline treats prolactin issues. However, spironolactone tackles excess testosterone, potentially reducing hirsutism and acne by lowering testosterone levels. It's wise to discuss this medication option with your doctor, as their guidance ensures your well-being.
