As per the signs and tests, the person is thought to have a parasitic infection, for instance, a worm in the intestines. This may result in weight loss, anemia, fatigue, and the yellowing of the eyes at night. The plan includes using a medication to kill a worm as well as boosting iron and vitamin D levels.

Female | 19
Your complaints of irregular periods, weight increase, and fat around the belly may be a result of your hormones being unbalanced. Hormones in the body are the communication agents that regulate several functions such as our menstrual cycle and weight. It is vital to consult a doctor who will find out what the problem is and prescribe the needed treatment. They may offer lifestyle changes, medicines, or other alternatives to regulate your hormones and improve your health.

Male | 23
Also referred to as diabetes, sugar disease occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin. The main cause is when the sugars in your body are not used adequately. If one has experienced this, coordinating regular exercises and consuming healthy choices would probably be a wise move.

I m 45 yrs old.and I have thyroid. My TSH level is 7.110. my dosage of throxine 75 mcg.now please tell me about the dosage.
Female | Shalini Bal
A TSH level of 7.110 indicates that your thyroid hormone is not functioning properly even though you are taking 75 micrograms of thyroxine. The fact that you have a high level of TSH indicates that your thyroid gland is not producing enough thyroid hormones. Signs of this include a feeling of drowsiness, excess weight, and getting cold. An increased dose of thyroxine could be considered to stabilize your thyroid and, in turn, your TSH level back to the normal range. Substantive discussions with your doctor should be conducted to examine the findings and to agree on the appropriate path to follow.

I'm 22 years old ,,I'm too lean,but I'm not tired anymore,,i have no thyroid issues ,,,,but my waist and thighs are so thin my face also too lean ,,,will u plz prescribe me weight gain injections for me
Female | 22
A fast metabolism or a shortage in the diet can be the reason for a person's problem of maintaining a normal weight. Weight-gaining shots are a bit unsafe since they can have side effects. To gain pounds the healthy way, you should eat foods that are high in proteins, fats, and carbohydrates such as nuts, avocados, and whole grains. Everyday activities like pushups and weightlifting can help you increase your muscles. If you feel that you are too skinny consult a nutritionist for advice.

I'm diagnosed with low vitamin d (14 ng/ml). I feel really exhausted and leg below knee hurt so much. I'm currently taking D rise 2k, Evion LC and Methylcobalamin 500 mcg for past 2 months. How long it will take to cure and I feel normal?
Male | 24
Take supplements like D rise 2K, Evion LC, and Methylcobalamin to boost your levels. It will take a few months for your vitamin D levels to go back to normal and you will start feeling better. Take your supplements as directed, get some sunlight, and eat foods rich in vitamin D like fish and eggs. follow up with your doctor to monitor your progress.

Male | 19
Low vitamin D levels can make you feel tired, and weak, and cause bone pain. Taking a vitamin D supplement with 1000-2000 international units daily can help increase your levels. You may need to take it for a few months until your levels improve.

Medicines need to be handled with care, especially when nursing. Expired thyroid drugs can become weaker or harmful to your health. While you may not notice immediate effects, it is important to consult your doctor. They will ensure the safety of both you and your baby. Always check the expiration dates on your medications to keep both of you safe.

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.

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.

Not gaining weight. My age is 19 nd weight is 28 .
Female | 19
People your age should gain weight bit by bit. Perhaps you are not eating enough or have thyroid issues among other things which commonly lead to a lack of weight gain. Have balanced diet meals that are inclusive of proteins, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. To rule out any health complications, go for regular checkups with a physician.

Before I share my worries I have to always note that I am a childhood cancer survivor Osteosarcoma I am now 19 and I was diagnosed at 11, I have been free from cancer since 13 years old I have worries of having cushin disease, I show all the symptoms and researched on YouTube by various videos of different doctors speaking of the subject. I gained a lot of weight in such a rapid speed even though I was very skinny, no matter how heathy I eat eating enough protein, cutting gluten and diary out as well as sugar I feel like i keep gaining weight. I have a fat pad at the back of my neck and the fat seems to go to my back and stomach, have awful bruising on my feet sometimes, horrible exhaustion by just lifting my arms and my bones sound like they crack a lot. Alongside many other symptoms like insulin resistance a doctor noticed due to darkening to my neck, but diabetes was ruled out when I went to a doctor and she said she did see many signs of a hormonal issue just by looking at me, referred me to a endocrinologist. I suspected high cortisol because i have dealt with a history of psychological issues such as diagnosed depression. I am suffering and will see this specialist soon, but my general blood lab tests have been “normal” before, I have read out of fear of not being heard by my doctor that lab tests sometimes do not show abnormal cortisol levels if the cortisol is not or condition of it is not too advanced I want to know all the tests that I need done that are necessary to be diagnosed, and what alternatives can I discuss with my doctors if the labs come out “normal” I am aware i need to advocate for myself sometimes I just dont know how to word it because of fear of seeming ignorant and like i know more than my doctor, I dont think this I just want my pain to be over! I think hearing advice from a professional would be best on how i can best approach advocation for my health.

The symptoms you're experiencing could be related to Cushing's disease. It's important to discuss the necessary tests with your doctor to get an accurate diagnosis. These tests include a cortisol urine test, blood cortisol levels, and an MRI to check your pituitary gland. Cortisol levels can fluctuate, so multiple tests at different times may be needed for a definitive diagnosis. Even if initial tests are normal but your doctor suspects Cushing's disease based on your symptoms, further testing and monitoring might be required. Be open and honest with your doctors, ask questions, and express your concerns to ensure you receive the best care.

Male | 26
Your vitamin D3 level is lower than normal. Vitamin D3 deficiency can give you fatigue and weakness besides bone pain. It often happens when your body lacks exposure to sunlight or to some foods that are rich in vitamin D. For treating this condition, it is advisable to take vitamin D3 supplements that are prescribed by your doctor.

I have subclinical hypothyroidism and i have been taking levothyroxine. I want to include Reseveratrol+Nad to my routine. Is it safe for me to?
Female | 30
You're taking levothyroxine for subclinical hypothyroidism and are considering adding Resveratrol+NAD. Subclinical hypothyroidism means your thyroid isn't working properly, but you may not have noticeable symptoms yet. Common symptoms like tiredness, weight gain, and feeling cold may develop. Levothyroxine helps regulate your thyroid hormones. Resveratrol+NAD is a supplement some people take, but there is limited evidence of its effects on thyroid function. It's important to discuss any new supplements with your endocrinologist to ensure they won't interfere with your current treatment plan.

Hi! I will be undergoing dexamethasone suppression testing and I accidentally took my pill at 10pm instead of 11pm. Can I still get my blood withdraw tomorrow at 8am? Thank you!
Female | 32
When it comes to dexamethasone suppression testing, timing is everything. If you take the pill an hour early it shouldn’t be a big deal. It's not likely to significantly alter the results of the test. You should still be able to have your blood drawn at 8 am tomorrow. Just try and follow the prescribed schedule next time for more accurate results.

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.

I am 20 y.o and experiencing hypogonadism symptoms, yet my bloodwork is completely fine. I tested Testosterone total, testosterone free, TSH, LH, FSH, prolactin, estrogen - everything was within ranges. Still though, symptoms are real: erectile dysfunction, low libido, delayed puberty (no genital growth at all, voice is still too high for a man, facial hair is kinda scarce, pubic hair is dark, but chest hair is nonexistent). Ultrasound showed, that my testicles are around 6.5 ml in volume. What could it be, if not hypogonadism? What else would you suggest testing? I'm going to redo my bloodwork in September
Male | 20
With these symptoms, it seems you are battling the hard times. I would like to recommend checking your adrenal glands and thyroid function, which, if imbalances are found, could cause symptoms similar to the one you are having. Besides, a Klinefelter syndrome genetic test may be worth considering. This syndrome is one that men have which comes from the addition of an X chromosome. It is very positive that you are taking the initiative to have your blood work repeated. That's why we can rule out other potential causes of your symptoms.

Recently did lab test for LH - 41, FSH - 44, E2 - 777, can you explain what does this reading mean
Female | 50
Hormones like LH, FSH, and E2 affect our bodies. Your levels suggest hormone imbalance. Irregular periods, hot flashes, fertility issues - these symptoms arise. Stress, medications, and medical conditions disrupt balance. Lifestyle adjustments, medicines, or hormone therapy treat imbalances. Consult a doctor for personalized advice.
