How can I gain healthy weight naturally?

Patient's Query

I want to gain healthy weight

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

There could be various reasons why you might be struggling to gain weight, such as a fast metabolism, inadequate calorie intake, or even underlying health conditions. To start, I recommend keeping a food diary to track your daily intake and ensure you're consuming enough nutrients. Including protein-rich foods like lean meats, nuts, and legumes can help build muscle mass. Additionally, incorporating healthy fats like avocados and olive oil into your diet can boost your calorie intake in a nutritious way. If you continue to face challenges, it's best to consult with a nutritionist for personalized guidance.

I am 22 years old female. I have pigmentation on my cheeks. I suffered from hair loss in 2022. The hair fall has stopped but I got androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness). My weight is 40 kg. I don't have acne. My periods are regular. But this month blood flow was very less on 3rd day of menstruation. I am afraid are all these related to PCOS?

Female | 22

The symptoms you mentioned, like pigmentation, hair loss, and irregular periods, could be related to PCOS. The underlying cause of these symptoms can be hormonal imbalance. You need to visit a doctor who will make a diagnosis and will offer treatment options.

I am 26yr old female, I have got blood test done where my LH: FsH ratio came 3.02, my prolactin came 66.5, my sugar was 597 at fasting, my TSH is 4.366 and my RBC count is 5.15.

Female | 26

Based on the results from your blood tests, there are some things we should investigate. High levels of prolactin can be caused by stress, certain medications, or a problem with the pituitary gland in the brain. With a fasting sugar level of 597, you may have diabetes. A TSH level of 4.366 could indicate a problem with your thyroid gland. You should see a doctor and get checked out further for treatment options.

Hi I m on thyroid tablets of 125mcg eltroxin My current tsh is 0.012, t3 - 1.05, t4 - 11.5 Should I reduce the dosage to normalise

Female | 32

Based on the thyroid test results, you have slightly low thyroid levels as your TSH is 0.012. Your present dosage of eltroxin may be too high for you; this could be the case. Besides, these might be the possible reasons: you will feel jittery, lose weight, and have trouble sleeping. To correct the dosage, consult your doctor and suggest doing the treatment at the lower dosage to get your thyroid levels back in balance.

I am 27 years old female. I have hormone imbalance problem. In doctor prescription i have take a medicine harmoni F. And this month i continue this medicine. And the period is come. But the 21 days medicine is not completed. What i should do?

Female | 27

It's common to experience menstrual changes while on hormone therapy, such as with Harmoni F. If your period starts before completing the prescribed 21 days, it may indicate your body adjusting to the treatment. Monitor your symptoms, and take your medicine as directed. If you have heavy bleeding, severe pain, or new symptoms, please reach out to your healthcare provider for personalized advice. They can help adjust your treatment plan if necessary, ensuring your hormonal balance is effectively managed. Remember, your well-being is important, and seeking professional guidance is always a good step.

My vitamin d3 test results are 6.4 respectively ,what is the medixation or injection that i should take to improve my d3

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.

Kya nutrients ki deficiency say harmonal imbalance hota? Estrogen dominance or testosterone high hota? Or kis wja say harmonal imbalance hota?

Female | 24

Nutrient deficiencies can indeed contribute to hormonal imbalances, affecting levels of estrogen and testosterone. Symptoms may include fatigue, mood swings, irregular periods, or weight changes. Common causes include poor diet, stress, and lack of exercise. To support hormone balance, focus on a well-rounded diet rich in fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, and proteins. Regular physical activity and managing stress through techniques like meditation or yoga can also be beneficial. If you notice persistent issues, I encourage you to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized guidance and appropriate testing to identify any underlying concerns.

Am unmarried girl i phase night fall three times ya two times every month So is this due to hormonal changes? And this will not have any effect on my married life and is not dangerous. ???

Female | 22

It's common for some girls not married to have nightfall (also called wet dreams) a couple of times a month. This is generally the result of hormonal fluctuations in your body. It is not a problem, and it will not have any effect on your married life or health. You can talk to a doctor for more reassurance if you are feeling worried.

Female | 31

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.

You should discuss any insulin regimen changes with a doctor before you do anything. Both Fiasp and Novarapid are rapid-acting insulins to be used to treat diabetes by controlling blood sugar levels. It is recommended to follow only the insulin given by the doctor to avoid any complications.

My Thyroid TSH level is 36.80 I want to confirm the medicine and dosage

Female | 31

A TSH level of 36.80 indicates that your thyroid might be malfunctioning. Among its signs and symptoms are getting tired, gaining weight, and always being cold. The so-called hypothyroidism can also be one of the reasons why. Commonly, doctors tend to prescribe drugs based on thyroid hormones such as levothyroxine. The dosage should be calculated by your doctor for your specific needs.
