Difference between thyroxin sodium tablets and levothyroxine sodium tablets. Are both the same medicine?
Male | 22
Thyroxin sodium and levothyroxine sodium are essentially the same medicine, used to treat hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone levels). Symptoms of hypothyroidism include fatigue, weight gain, and feeling cold. These tablets help balance hormone levels and relieve symptoms, improving how you feel.

Hi I am 21 years old and I recently tested my whole body test. And I found out that my follicle hormone is 21.64

To bring this level down, the best thing you can do is consult with your doctor who will on what lifestyle changes are necessary if any at all as well as possible treatments that may help lower its amount.

Hello Doctor My name is Ashiya, and I have been dealing with subclinical hypothyroidism since I was 6 years old. It all started when I suddenly became very thin during my first grade. Concerned, my parents took me to a doctor who was already treating my mother for her subclinical hypothyroidism. After some blood work, the results showed elevated TSH levels at 10.5, while my T4 and T3 levels were normal. The doctor diagnosed me with hypothyroidism and prescribed thyroxine. Now, at 17, I want to understand more about hypothyroidism. Despite reading numerous articles and watching videos, I'm still unclear about the root causes of my subclinical hypothyroidism. I even don't have Hashimoto's thyroiditis. I've learned that deficiencies in selenium, zinc, copper, magnesium, and vitamin D can lead to subclinical hypothyroidism. My primary concern is whether this condition is permanent. I'm hesitant about taking a tablet every morning for the rest of my life . I would greatly appreciate your time to delve deeper into this condition.There's much to discuss, especially since my sister's TSH levels have recently elevated. We consulted a gynecologist [because my sister was not having her periods and the doctor got her thyroid test and found her TSH levels got elavated] and prescribed her 25 mcg of thyroxine, which I believe was inappropriate as her TSH levels were only at 9. Additionally, the doctor didn't test for antibodies. After 15 days of taking the tablets, my sister experienced throat pain and muscle pains. Now, her recent thyroid test showed a decrease to 8 without any thyroxine. We went to another doctor, who performed a TPO test and discovered that my sister does not have any antibodies. She's now focusing on her diet, incorporating brazil nuts for selenium, brown rice, and other foods rich in zinc, magnesium, and copper, as well as getting adequate sunlight for vitamin D. I'm hopeful that with your guidance, we can normalize her TSH levels and mine too without the need for lifelong medication. Could you please provide me with more information about this condition? Thank you. Sincerely, Ashiya.

Subclinical hypothyroidism can have different causes and may not always be permanent. Addressing nutrient deficiencies and other underlying issues can sometimes improve thyroid function. Consulting an endocrinologist is crucial to determine the best approach for your specific condition and to see if long-term medication is necessary.

I am 15 weeks pregnant and my thyroid is 3.75 is it normal or I have medicine requirement
Female | 30
A thyroid of 3.75 in pregnancy is sometimes a bit elevated. Since the thyroid is an important part of pregnancy, it's mandatory to observe the thyroid level. The common symptoms connected with thyroid disorders are fatigue, rapid weight changes, and anxiety. If it remains high, your gynecologist might prescribe meds to maintain a normal level and therefore to provide support to you and your baby.

Hii i lost 10 kg weight in an year without any exercise or diet with hairfall and I am 21 yr old female I had painful periods with vomiting previously and I took emergency contraceptive pill 4 times in an year
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.
