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.

Hi I’m a 23 year old female, I got few test done which says I have UTI and a prolactin level of 33, HCG <2.0, TSH 1.16. Can I know the reason of it ?
Dr. Babita Goel

UTI means Urinary Tract Infection which can give rise to such symptoms as pain during urination. Prolactin level 33 could be high affecting periods and fertility. HCG <2.0 means you are not pregnant. TSH 1.16 is normal for thyroid function. UTIs can be cured by antibiotics while elevated prolactin may require further assessment by a doctor to determine its cause.

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.

What is the correct thyroid medicine dosage?
My mother is suffering from thyroid ,she had a mild stroke before some days now she is in bed .A physiotherapy is done every day at home.but she is very weak.we have done her thyroid test this is here T3-111.5 T4-9.02 TSH-7.110. Please let me know the exact power of her medicine.
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 12th June '24
It appears to me that she suffers from hypothyroidism because of a lack of energy amongst other symptoms. A high TSH means that the thyroid is not producing enough hormones. Possibly, she may have to adjust the dosage of her thyroid medication to correspond with these levels. Please ensure that she adheres to taking her drugs regularly as well as continuing physiotherapy for all-round healing.

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.

Can high sugar and low sodium cause health issues?
I have high sugar and have low sodium
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 11th June '24
People should be careful of consuming too much sugar and too little sodium as that can cause them to feel tired, unable to think properly, and generally weak. The sugar levels could rise due to diabetes while the sodium might be reduced through sweating excessively or taking some specific medication. To manage high sugar, one must eat healthily in addition to taking the drugs that have been prescribed for them. A person with low sodium can increase the amount of salt that they take or use drugs which should be administered under strict medical supervision.

What medicine for hyperthyroidism with TSH at 15?
I have hyperthyroidism and my tsh value is at 15.i want medicine recommendation for it
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 11th June '24
Hyperthyroidism is when the thyroid gland makes too much thyroid hormone. It can cause symptoms such as weight loss, sweating, and feeling nervous. A TSH value of 15 is considered high, which indicates an underactive thyroid. Levothyroxine could be prescribed to correct this by balancing out your levels of thyroid hormones. Be sure to follow your doctor’s advice.

What does thyroid level 4.84 and TB >10 mean?
I HV been diagnosed with thyroid level 4.84 and TB gold as >10 infection.what does it mean
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 11th June '24
Your thyroid is 4.84, it is slightly elevated which shows that there may be an issue with your thyroid. Moreover, TB Gold >10 suggests a possible infection of tuberculosis. These signs may differ, for instance, fatigue, weight gain or loss as well as coughing up blood could all indicate this disease. The cause is either malfunctioning glands in the neck region or exposure to TB bacteria through inhalation into one’s lungs. Therapy involves drugs that normalize hormone production by these organs and anti-TB medications if necessary.

When the levels of your thyroid are too high or too low, you may experience a lot of discomfort. Signs and symptoms of high levels of thyroid hormone in the bloodstream (hyperthyroidism) can include nervousness, insomnia, and spontaneous weight loss. You will need to collaborate with your doctor to determine the right amount of medication for you. If you think that your levels are off, you must raise this issue with them.

Could a Thyroid Test Indicate a Medicine Change?
I am 55 year old person and having thyroid problem for last few years. I am taking medicine EUTHYROX 25. But I am in doubt with this medicine. Recently I tested my TSH test again, which result is below... T3 - 1.26 ng/mL T4 - 7.66 ug/dL TSH - 4.25 ml/UL (CLIA METHOD) Please suggest correct type of thyroid and medicine. Thanks
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 10th June '24
Your TSH level is a bit high, which means your thyroid isn’t making enough hormones. This can make you feel tired, gain weight, and be sensitive to the cold. People who have hypothyroidism usually take EUTHYROX 25 -- you might end up needing more or something else entirely. You must talk to your doctor about what all this means so they can help come up with a plan that will work best for you.
