What is the treatment for TSH 6.5 and B12 198 levels?

Your TSH is 6.5 which means that you may have a thyroid problem. One of the symptoms of this could be feeling weak, gaining weight, or getting cold easily. In addition, with a B12 level of only 198, you are also at risk of feeling numb and weak. You might require medicine to fix the thyroid issue while low B12 might call for adjusting your diet or taking supplements.

Can Steroids Tablets at 28 Cause Side Effects?

Steroids can impact your body ne­gatively. Common side effe­cts include weight gain, acne bre­akouts, mood fluctuations, and sleeping difficulties. This happe­ns because steroids inte­rfere with natural functions within your system. We­ight gain and acne result from hormonal changes cause­d by steroids. Mood swings and insomnia occur when steroids disrupt che­mical balances regulating emotions and sle­ep cycles. If expe­riencing these issue­s, consult your doctor immediately.

Boost Testosterone: What Foods Support Hormone Growth?

Testosterone is a hormone that helps with muscle strength, bone density, and sex drive. To boost testosterone, you can try several methods. First, ensure you get enough rest and exercise, as being overweight or inactive can lower testosterone levels. Eating a balanced diet with protein, healthy fats, and plenty of fruits and vegetables also helps. Additionally, maintain a calm state of mind and get enough vitamin D. It's important to consult a healthcare professional before trying new medications or treatments.

Should I be concerned about missed periods and facial hair?

Sometimes, hormonal imbalances can lead to changes like these. Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can cause missed periods and excess hair growth. It's good that your weight is stable, though! I'd recommend scheduling an appointment with a gynecologist or endocrinologist. They can run some tests to check your hormone levels and rule out any underlying issues. In the meantime, focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle with balanced meals and regular exercise.

Is 9mg Boron Daily Safe for Testosterone Boost?

Consuming 9mg of boron per day may be harmful, particularly if you are thinking about consuming 3 tablets with 3mg of boron in each. The upper limit of boron overdose is manifested in symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Get in touch with a endocrinologist before starting any new supplements to make sure of their safety and efficacy.

Why am I suddenly gaining weight with PCOS?

The weight gain could be due to your PCOS which can produce imbalances in hormones and influence metabolism. The shortness of breath accompanying exercise could indicate poor fitness or be a symptom of an underlying health problem. A gynecologist's visit is needed for a full assessment and advice on how to handle your PCOS and weight issues. In the meantime, try gentle exercises like walking and focus on a balanced diet to help improve your health.

Why do I pee excessively in the morning?

Human beings tend to urinate more in the morning than in the evening after sleeping for a long period. This is because our kidneys expel more of the blood impurities overnight. Therefore, we should expect to pee more after we wake up. In the absence of other symptoms like pain or unusual color, it is usually normal.

Try to limit sugary drinks and sweets. Regular blood sugar monitoring is crucial, especially with your family history. Consider consulting a dietitian for personalized guidance.

How many years of fertility left at age 29?

Based on your test results and age, your ovarian reserve seems slightly lower than average for your age. This could potentially indicate a reduced number of eggs remaining. However, it's important to remember that these tests are just a snapshot and don't definitively predict fertility. At 29, you still likely have several years of natural fertility ahead. I would recommend discussing these results with a gynecologist for a more personalized assessment. They may suggest further tests or lifestyle changes to support your fertility goals.

Can I Stop Unusual Bleeding Without Tests?

It's not uncommon for periods to occasionally act up, especially with symptoms like cramps, hair growth, and weight changes. This could be due to hormonal imbalances or conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In your case, the irregular bleeding might be due to a hormonal shift. While it's essential to rule out other causes through tests later on, for now, focus on self-care: rest, stay hydrated, and consider using over-the-counter pain relief like ibuprofen. If the bleeding persists or worsens, please seek medical advice from gynecologist

Need help with male to female hormone therapy?

Male to female hormone reassignment therapy involves taking female hormones to align your physical characteristics with your gender identity. The main goal is to help you develop more feminine characteristics, like softer skin, breast growth, and a more feminine fat distribution. It's important to seek guidance from a plastic surgeon experienced in transgender care to discuss the risks, benefits, and monitoring needed during this process. They can tailor a treatment plan specifically for you, ensuring your safety and well-being throughout the transition.

Is chemotherapy the best treatment for poorly differentiated carcinoma?

The sudden weight loss and the lump in his neck are indeed concerning. Given his history of tuberculosis, it's understandable to think it might be related. However, the biopsy results indicating poorly differentiated carcinoma do raise some flags. The current treatment plan with chemotherapy and immunotherapy is a common approach for poorly differentiated carcinoma. Surgery might be an option depending on the specifics. The Immunohistochemical marker study will provide more insights into the type of cancer and guide further treatment. It's important to trust the expertise of your oncologist and his medical team and ensure open communication with them.

Why Do I Keep Losing Weight Despite Eating A Lot?

People associate eating more and suffering from weight loss with potential problems. Some reasons include a fast metabolism, thyroid issues, diabetes, or stress. People who consume appetite-causing agents may appear to temporarily gain weight; however, a quick reduction in body mass could indicate a possible underlying cause. In response to this, continue to consume a balanced diet, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, and get checked by a medical professional.

What to do with triglyceride level 240-300 despite strict diet?

If your triglycerides are regularly from 240 to 300, that’s high. Usually, too many triglycerides mean you don’t eat well (like junk food all the time) and you don’t do exercise. But sometimes, it can come from your family. Rarely have symptoms but maybe sometimes hurt your stomach or give you pancreatitis. Eat the right things more, exercise, and don’t smoke or drink so much if you want lower levels.

Is it safe to have third baby with Hashimoto's?

Hashimoto's is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland. This can sometimes affect thyroid hormone levels, which are crucial for a healthy pregnancy. Before trying for another baby, it's essential to ensure your thyroid hormone levels are well-controlled. You see, unmanaged thyroid issues can pose risks during pregnancy, such as preterm birth or developmental problems for the baby. I recommend discussing your desire to conceive with your endocrinologist. They can adjust your medication if needed and monitor your thyroid function regularly to support a safe and healthy pregnancy.
