Why is my weight increasing with facial hair?

I am 23 year old i have facial hair period cramps and my weight is increasing

Dr. Himali Patel

Gynecologist/Obstetrician

Answered on 10th Feb '25

At 23, experiencing facial hair growth, menstrual discomfort, and weight gain may stem from hormonal imbalances, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Hormones can affect various bodily functions, leading to these symptoms. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management can help regulate hormones and improve overall well-being. Tracking your menstrual cycle may also provide useful insights. I recommend consulting a gynecologist to discuss your symptoms and explore potential solutions tailored to your needs.

I have been on thyroid medication for nearly 8 years. Medicine name thyroxine sodium tablets 25 mcg. 1 tablet daily. In recent report tsh is 6.911 Does the power need to be increased to 50 mcg? Suggest right dose

Female | 47

It's important to note that a TSH level of 6.911 may indicate that your current thyroxine dosage is insufficient. Symptoms of hypothyroidism can include fatigue, weight gain, and sensitivity to colds, among others. A slight increase to 50 mcg may help return your TSH levels to normal. However, any adjustments to medication should always be discussed with your healthcare provider, as they can assess your overall health and tailor the treatment to your needs.

I am 36 years old. I have TSH level of 3.6 microIU/mL. What should be the dose of my medicine. Currently I was prescribed with 50mcg.

Female | 36

If your TSH level tests positive with a figure of 3.6 microIU/mL, this is within limits but slightly on the higher side. Higher than normal TSH levels often come with symptoms like fatigue, unexplained weight gain, and feeling cold when others are warm. In case you are experiencing any of these symptoms, alongside the fact that 50mcg is your current dose, it means that you may need to adjust it depending on what your body demands. You must always consult your doctor when there is a need to do so.

Male | 70years dryness of mouth.

Dry mouth, a particularly troublesome foot, is an indicator for diabetes at night when your saliva is not enough. This situation that might decrease saliva production and nerve issues can cause pain or sensitivity.” Keeping water close to the body at regular intervals is an efficient way of staying hydrated. Another option is to set the humidifier in the evening so that it can help the moisture in the air. You can also benefit from verifying your blood sugar levels and ensuring they are constant. It’s just as important to have these symptoms discussed with your healthcare provider.

I have been experiencing joint pains, PCOS, vitamin deficiencies, and mental health issues for the past 4 years. joint pains are exacerbated by activities like walking and standing. I have self-tested for deficiencies and are afraid to visit a doctor joint pains and muscle pains are rated at a severity level of 9 out of 10. I have noticed neck darkness, pimples on your face, and excess underarm fat and darkening. I had plantar facilities and breast abscess and bartholin cyst in past history.

Female | 25

Many symptoms are bothering you. Inflammation in the body causing joint pain may be related to PCOS and vitamin deficiencies. Hormonal imbalances could be one reason why your neck has become darker along with the skin underarms. A good way to reduce these signs is to eat balanced meals regularly, exercise often, and manage stress properly. If necessary, you should also take care of yourself more than anything else by seeking help from a medical professional.

I have severe deficiency of vitamin d and i have 7.17 vitamin d3 so can you plzz help me

Female | 22

Your vitamin D might be a little low. If you don’t get enough sunlight, have a diet low in certain nutrients, or suffer from some medical conditions, you may feel tired, have aches and pains, or weak bones. You can add fish and eggs to your meals more often, spend time outside, or take supplements with this vitamin to increase its level in the body. You should consult your healthcare provider for more information.

I am 24 years old I have thyroid 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.

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.

Female | 45

Disturbing high blood sugar may happen as a post-surgical stress reaction. Ensure that insulin is the only thing she is doing. Besides that, she might also want to eat healthy, work out, and check her sugar levels regularly. If she has a dizziness spell, is thirsty, or feels extremely fatigued, get her to see a doctor immediately.

My Vitamin d is 5. Is this very low and what symptoms i might feel in daily life?

Female | 29

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 16 year old boy. But doesn't have any facial hair . I am eating speman tablet Himalayas. Is it good...or will work ?

Male | 16

It's normal to be concerned about facial hair during teenage years; everybody grows differently. Our body directly uses the supplements for reproductive health so we can consider them as a part of our diet. Insufficient facial hair is because of genetic factors or it may also be due to low hormones. Talking to a doctor could be the best way to know more about the situation and get some help or advice.

Female | 19

Hormonal imbalances with hyperthyroidism can alter your cycle. This may lead to light, scanty menstruation. The good news is that when you return home, it becomes normal again but changes after some time. For you, adjusting medications could be useful in balancing hormones as well as enhancing flow during menses. Have a talk with your doctor about this.

Female | 22

A reading of 1.25 could me­an missed periods, tiredne­ss, and weight fluctuations. An imbalanced thyroid disrupts your cycle's re­gularity. To address this issue, your doctor may prescribe­ medication to stabilize thyroid hormone le­vels. Following their guidance and maintaining a he­althy lifestyle is crucial for supporting optimal thyroid function.

Androgens and Testosterone Hormones Are the Same ?? In women If androgen is high then it means testosterone will also be high ??? If androgens are controlled then testosterone will also be controlled. ??? In girls ? Mera 25 % zyda ha testosterone

Female | 23

Androgens, including testosterone, are indeed related hormones, but they are not identical. Elevated androgen levels can indicate higher testosterone levels, but not always. In women, high testosterone might lead to symptoms like irregular periods, acne, or excessive hair growth. Conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can cause this imbalance. Managing androgen levels through lifestyle changes or medical treatment can help regulate testosterone. It's advisable to consult a healthcare professional to assess your situation, get an accurate diagnosis, and explore appropriate treatment options tailored for you.
