Answered on 10th Feb '25
In Type 2 diabetes, the body struggles to use insulin effectively, leading to symptoms like increased thirst, frequent urination, and fatigue. Sometimes, insulin therapy can be challenging. If he felt better on oral medications, it might be worth discussing this with his doctor. Adjusting dosages or exploring alternative treatments may help improve his situation. It's crucial to closely monitor his blood sugar levels and adhere to his prescribed plan. Please ensure regular consultations with his endocrinologist for tailored advice and to discuss any concerns.

Female | 24
Lumping your thyroid means a doctor needs to examine it. Neck and shoulder discomfort sometimes happens with thyroid issues. Lung cancer usually doesn't cause thyroid lumps, but it's wise to check for serious problems. Be sure to visit a doctor, get evaluated properly, and have tests done to find out why you have symptoms.

You might have an unwanted health reaction after consuming Ozempic despite not being diabetic. The medication can cause nausea, vomiting, the feeling of heaviness in the stomach, palpitations, and shortness of breath because of its impact on your body. Abstain from it instantly and visit a doctor. Your health will be restored as soon as the medicine clears your system.

Female | 24
This is a gland in the neck that can cause tiredness, weight gain, and loss, or feelings of anxiety and depression. When too much or too little hormone is produced by this organ these symptoms may arise. To confirm the diagnosis, go for some blood tests at the doctor’s office. If there is an issue, don’t worry – there are treatments available that will help to balance the levels of thyroid hormones within your body.

Female | 21
You lost 10 kg in a year, without trying. Also, you had hair falling out, and vomiting during periods. Taking emergency contraceptive pills frequently may impact your body. These symptoms indicate possible hormone imbalances or lack of nutrients. You should see a gynecologist. They will assess these issues properly.

My metabolism has been messed up since taking invega sustenna where i gain a kilo if i eat 100 calories over 1000 calories. i used to be able to eat whatever i wanted well over 2000 calories and flunctuate and go over certain calorie amounts and not gain weight. however after taking invega sustenna 100 mg for 10 months my metabolism has become like this. i discontinued the medicine 2 months ago and my metabolism is still not back to normal. how long will it take for it to go back to normal ?
Female | 27
In some cases, medicine can actually change the way our body burns calories, and hence the weight changes. The metabolism process might be slow to return to normal for a few months after the cessation of the drug. Eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly to help things get back on track.

Entire thyroid gland is decreased.
Female | 30
Your thyroid gland may be smaller than normal. This can cause hypothyroidism and tiredness, weight gain, and coldness. The primary cause of this is a condition known as hypothyroidism. The solution is to utilize thyroid hormone replacement therapy prescribed by a physician to regulate your thyroid levels and improve these symptoms.

The two conditions relate to hormone imbalance in the body. Thyroid problems can make you feel tired, gain or lose weight, and shiver. PCOS may cause menstrual irregularities, acne, and fertility problems. The best way to keep these conditions under control is with a healthy lifestyle including regular workouts and a balanced diet. Hormone regulation drugs may be required too.

I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease with TSH level almost zero in August 2023. I was prescribed Methimez 15 mg initially, which was gradually reduced to 2.5mg daily. My TSH level is currently 7.9, FT4=0.82, FT3=2.9. Should I still be taking daily methimez 2.5mg or should I fully stop it/reduce it less than 2.5mg daily since TSH level is currently 7.9. History of medical conditions: I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease in August 2023 with TSH level touching zero. Current medication details: I was prescribed Methimez 15mg daily which was gradually reduced and is currently prescribed at 2.5mg on a daily basis. History of medication for the same complaint: None
Male | 41
Graves' Disease affects thyroid function. Your recent TSH test result at 7.9 shows an imbalance. To regulate hormone levels, continue taking Methimazole 2.5mg daily as prescribed. Stopping this medicine on your own risks causing uncontrolled symptoms. These may include rapid heartbeat, weight fluctuations, and fatigue. If you have any worries or questions, be sure to discuss them with your doctor.

Mera b12 2000 ho reha hai sir isko kam kese kre
Male | 28
The B12 level of 2000 is too high. Possible side effects of high B12 include dizziness, nausea, and skin rashes. It may be due to over-supplementation or certain health conditions. To lower it, avoid B12 supplements and foods that are rich in B12. Water is an excellent conductor of waste and thus helps you eliminate excess B12 from your body. Get re-evaluated after a few weeks to check if it's normal again.

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 | 45
If your C-peptide test shows 7.69 and you’re not diabetic then it’s fine. Feeling empty stomachs and weakness can happen for different reasons. It’s common to have low energy when an individual hasn’t eaten anything for a while and this can be solved by taking small but frequent meals. Weakness could be due to lack of sleep, stress or not eating well-balanced meals. Ensure that you always take plenty of fluids and get enough rest.

i just want to ask about if my hypothyroidism problem can be cured as most of the time i have high value of TSH and also have symptoms like irregular periods, brittle nails and excessive hair loss. I'm a female of 23, i have hypothyroidism issue since i was 15.
Female | 23
It seems like you might suffer from hypothyroidism, where your thyroid doesn't produce enough thyroid hormones. This can result in high TSH levels as well as symptoms such as irregular periods, weak nails, and hair loss. Normally, hypothyroidism entails long-term treatment with thyroid hormone medications to help control its signs. You should continually see a doctor who'll watch out for your thyroid levels and modify the treatment when necessary.

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.

Putting on weight can feel hard. Your body may burn food very fast. Or you may not eat enough. Health issues could also cause this. You may feel tired or weak. Or you may not want to eat much. To gain pounds, eat foods with lots of calories. Good choices are nuts, avocados, chicken, and fish. These foods give your energy. Exercise to build muscle too. If your weight stays low, see a doctor. They can check for any problems.
