I want to know about triglycerides

Male | 32

Triglyceride­s are fatty substances found in blood. Excessive­ levels increase­ health risks. There are­ typically no symptoms. High triglycerides freque­ntly occur with obesity, poor diet, and inactivity. Lowering triglyce­rides involves consuming nutritious foods, regular e­xercise, and limiting sugary intake. Maintaining he­althy triglyceride leve­ls supports cardiovascular well-being.

I have hollow eye problem and increasing day by day. I am 22 but looks like 45 plus

Male | 22

You may have­ sunken eye socke­ts and dark circles. Many things can cause this. It could be due­ to your genes, not enough sle­ep, or not drinking enough water. To make­ it better, be sure­ to get plenty of rest and drink lots of wate­r. You can also try using an eye cream to add moisture­ to the area. Taking care of your ove­rall health and getting good slee­p can help your eye­s look better.

Hy good evening sir... My name is Rahif and I am currently working in saudi arabia... I am facing mouth irritation like small bumps under right side of my tounge ,they come and go away but not permanently from last some months also from last some days I am facing oral thrush,can you guide me please..

Male | 27

The little bumps under your tongue that appear and disappear might be swollen taste buds, which don’t pose any danger. Conversely, oral thrush is a result of yeast infection. This is quite widespread and can be cured with antifungal drugs that should be prescribed by a physician. Do not forget to brush your teeth regularly and to follow a balanced diet.

A couple days ago i noticed a large lump underneath one of my armpits. a few weeks prior my armpit had been feeling very sore and painful but i just recently looked and saw a large lump and there was some sort of discharge leaking from it.. a few days later it’s gotten somewhat smaller but now there is a nasty raw scab growing around it and it hurts and itches. also the center of the lump is red and sticking outward and looks like it’s bleeding.

This could be a clue to some infection. See a dermatologist immediately for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. Immediate medical treatment is vital in such situations.

I was bitten by a tick a week ago. I got it out s day later when i noticed it but couldn't get its head out. Its starting to itch and looks like a slight rash. Should i be worried or will it go away on it's own?

Female | 35

When ticks bite, it can cause itching, rash, and redness on the skin. If the tick’s head remains in your body, it may result in an infection. To alleviate this, wash the affected area with soap and water then apply an anti-itch cream. Watch out for any signs of infection like increased redness or pain; should you notice any seek medical attention immediately.

I am 23 yrs old girl who is suffering from pcos , obesity . I have hair on my body as well as facial hairs . My weight is increasing. Please tell me how to control this facial hair growth without medicine This is my question I request you to please revert me the answer.

Female | 23

 It sounds like you might be suffering from PCOS which is caused by hormonal disturbances. Excess body hair and obesity are the most typical signs. Unwanted hair on the chin and the upper lips may be a result of high levels of male hormones in your body. To manage hair growth without medication you could try gentle methods such as shaving, waxing, or threading. These will grant you temporary relief as the hair is removed.
