I m a 23 year old girl i have hypothyroidism and i want to know about it
Female | 23
Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland produces too few thyroid hormones. The symptoms of this may include experiencing fatigue, gaining weight for no purpose, having dry skin, and feeling constantly cold. This can occur because of an infection, an autoimmune disease, or even after pregnancy. Typically, medications are recommended to help control thyroid hormones to re-balance the levels.

Hello Doctor My name is Ashiya, and I have been dealing with subclinical hypothyroidism since I was 6 years old. It all started when I suddenly became very thin during my first grade. Concerned, my parents took me to a doctor who was already treating my mother for her subclinical hypothyroidism. After some blood work, the results showed elevated TSH levels at 10.5, while my T4 and T3 levels were normal. The doctor diagnosed me with hypothyroidism and prescribed thyroxine. Now, at 17, I want to understand more about hypothyroidism. Despite reading numerous articles and watching videos, I'm still unclear about the root causes of my subclinical hypothyroidism. I even don't have Hashimoto's thyroiditis. I've learned that deficiencies in selenium, zinc, copper, magnesium, and vitamin D can lead to subclinical hypothyroidism. My primary concern is whether this condition is permanent. I'm hesitant about taking a tablet every morning for the rest of my life . I would greatly appreciate your time to delve deeper into this condition.There's much to discuss, especially since my sister's TSH levels have recently elevated. We consulted a gynecologist [because my sister was not having her periods and the doctor got her thyroid test and found her TSH levels got elavated] and prescribed her 25 mcg of thyroxine, which I believe was inappropriate as her TSH levels were only at 9. Additionally, the doctor didn't test for antibodies. After 15 days of taking the tablets, my sister experienced throat pain and muscle pains. Now, her recent thyroid test showed a decrease to 8 without any thyroxine. We went to another doctor, who performed a TPO test and discovered that my sister does not have any antibodies. She's now focusing on her diet, incorporating brazil nuts for selenium, brown rice, and other foods rich in zinc, magnesium, and copper, as well as getting adequate sunlight for vitamin D. I'm hopeful that with your guidance, we can normalize her TSH levels and mine too without the need for lifelong medication. Could you please provide me with more information about this condition? Thank you. Sincerely, Ashiya.

Subclinical hypothyroidism can have different causes and may not always be permanent. Addressing nutrient deficiencies and other underlying issues can sometimes improve thyroid function. Consulting an endocrinologist is crucial to determine the best approach for your specific condition and to see if long-term medication is necessary.

My hba1c is 11.3 and ppbs is328.5 and fbs is 261.6
Male | 32
Having a high HbA1c value of 11.3 means your body struggles with sugar management. Additionally, blood sugar readings of 328.5 after meals and 261.6 when fasting indicate the same issue. You may experience increased thirst, frequent urination, and fatigue as symptoms. This condition could be diabetes. To improve, make dietary changes, exercise regularly, and consider medication prescribed by a doctor for better blood sugar control.

I noticed unexpected weight loss of my body during last few months. Report tell us that haemoglobin is some sort in the body and ECG report suggests that everything is normal. One more concern is that in night, don't sleep comes..??
Male | 52
Excessive weight loss and too little sleep are some reasons that could be due to worry, an unhealthy diet, or maybe some other ailments such as hyperthyroidism. It is great to hear that your hemoglobin is within limits and your ECG is normal, yet it is probably useful to chat with your doctor to get an idea about what your dearth of sleep stems from. Don't forget to tell your doctor about all your symptoms and worries, so they can help you understand the best solution to your problem.

Female | 41
The ultrasound report indicates that your thyroid gland is within normal size and structure, with a small cyst and two benign colloid nodules, which are generally harmless. The presence of some lymph nodes is common and not unusual, particularly if they are small and observed during imaging. While these findings are generally not alarming, it’s wise to discuss them with your endocrinologist to ensure that monitoring or further evaluation is appropriate. Maintaining regular check-ups can provide peace of mind and clarity regarding your health.

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 had GYM without diet and hydration (only one or two water of glass in a day) for 3 months about a year ago and after one month during GYM I had started to face problems like too much stress, Low energy, Chest fat (not gynecomastia), Sleep disturbance, More feminine appearance in my face then I tested my Harmones my testosterone is high by 143 as it's normal range and my estradiol is in normal range. I have high Estrogen symptoms but my estradiol report is normal. This is my problem.
Male | 22
The signs you mentioned can be difficult indeed. Although your estradiol levels are normal, hormonal dysfunction can, however, still be the case. Other factors may also play a role in reduced testosterone levels causing increased symptoms. High-intensity workouts without proper nutrition or hydration can lead to the disturbance of hormone balance. Regarding your problem, focus on a balanced diet, hydration, and suitable physical activity. Besides, this you should also consult an endocrinologist.

Due to thyroid I have water in my feet bone
Female | 54
Water retention in the feet can occur due to thyroid issues, leading to symptoms like swelling and discomfort. This happens because your thyroid regulates metabolism and fluid balance, and any imbalance can result in excess fluid accumulation. To manage this, try elevating your legs, reducing salt intake, and staying active with light exercises. Hydration is also important, as it helps your body manage fluid levels. It’s advisable to consult an endocrinologist for personalized advice and treatment options, ensuring that any underlying conditions are properly addressed. They can guide you effectively towards improving your situation.

Female | 22
An imbalance in hormones, be it through raised estrogen levels or increased testosterone levels, can cause conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The symptoms may involve periods that are not regular, large amounts of hair growth, and changes in weight. The vegetation you stated, namely, Ashwagandha and pomegranate, are very useful to support hormonal health. Nevertheless, their impact can be different for each person. Besides, it is necessary to take into account diet, lifestyle, and overall health too. I urge you to seek advice from a qualified doctor who can give targeted health support and ensure safe and efficient treatment specific to your particular needs. The main factor for staying healthy is obtaining professional support.

Female | 27
If the 5000 HCG isn't working well for you, it's best to bring to your doctor's attention for a dosage adjustment. The 1000 HCG injection plus 12 hours is not likely to work and may even cause side effects. The resulting signs can be hormone disturbances and pregnancy problems. The doctor will indicate the correct dosage to help you feel better.

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.

Girls ka 23 age mein estrogen kitna hona chahiye ? Kya 324.6 zyda ha? Blood 9 ko diya tha is month 14 ko period howy thy.kitny percent zyda ha?
Female | 23
Based on your menstrual cycle, a 23-year-old woman with estrogen levels falling between 60 and 300 pg/mL, and variability in between, pretty much sums up the normal range. The level of 324.6 pg/mL might look high, but this interpretation is undoubtedly contingent on your health and your cycle timing. Common symptoms for people who have an imbalance may include mood swings, irregular menstruation, or physical development. I sincerely advise you to consult with your endocrinologist for more personalized insights and some golden rules of remediation. They will be able to clear up any ambiguities and help you realine your care needs.
