Weight gain can be influenced by factors like metabolism, diet, and exercise habits.

They can recommend personalized strategies, such as increasing calorie and protein intake through a balanced diet and possibly incorporating supplements like protein powders or weight gainer shakes.

I've been gaining weight suddenly , I have had PCOS for 4 years now but suddenly last year I started gaining weight , i changed from 58kg to 68 kg in just a year or so . I've not changed by diet much but still I am gaining weight, and when I try to exercise I am getting really short of breath , I can't even exercise the most simple things
Female | 22
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.

Before I share my worries I have to always note that I am a childhood cancer survivor Osteosarcoma I am now 19 and I was diagnosed at 11, I have been free from cancer since 13 years old I have worries of having cushin disease, I show all the symptoms and researched on YouTube by various videos of different doctors speaking of the subject. I gained a lot of weight in such a rapid speed even though I was very skinny, no matter how heathy I eat eating enough protein, cutting gluten and diary out as well as sugar I feel like i keep gaining weight. I have a fat pad at the back of my neck and the fat seems to go to my back and stomach, have awful bruising on my feet sometimes, horrible exhaustion by just lifting my arms and my bones sound like they crack a lot. Alongside many other symptoms like insulin resistance a doctor noticed due to darkening to my neck, but diabetes was ruled out when I went to a doctor and she said she did see many signs of a hormonal issue just by looking at me, referred me to a endocrinologist. I suspected high cortisol because i have dealt with a history of psychological issues such as diagnosed depression. I am suffering and will see this specialist soon, but my general blood lab tests have been “normal” before, I have read out of fear of not being heard by my doctor that lab tests sometimes do not show abnormal cortisol levels if the cortisol is not or condition of it is not too advanced I want to know all the tests that I need done that are necessary to be diagnosed, and what alternatives can I discuss with my doctors if the labs come out “normal” I am aware i need to advocate for myself sometimes I just dont know how to word it because of fear of seeming ignorant and like i know more than my doctor, I dont think this I just want my pain to be over! I think hearing advice from a professional would be best on how i can best approach advocation for my health.

The symptoms you're experiencing could be related to Cushing's disease. It's important to discuss the necessary tests with your doctor to get an accurate diagnosis. These tests include a cortisol urine test, blood cortisol levels, and an MRI to check your pituitary gland. Cortisol levels can fluctuate, so multiple tests at different times may be needed for a definitive diagnosis. Even if initial tests are normal but your doctor suspects Cushing's disease based on your symptoms, further testing and monitoring might be required. Be open and honest with your doctors, ask questions, and express your concerns to ensure you receive the best care.

Mera b12 2000 ho reha hai sir isko kam kese kre
Male | 28
The B12 level of 2000 is too high. Possible side effects of high B12 include dizziness, nausea, and skin rashes. It may be due to over-supplementation or certain health conditions. To lower it, avoid B12 supplements and foods that are rich in B12. Water is an excellent conductor of waste and thus helps you eliminate excess B12 from your body. Get re-evaluated after a few weeks to check if it's normal again.

I am 17 year old female. Today and yesterday I have been feeling extremely lightheaded. Everytime I turn my head it goes fuzzy. I am diagnosed with Anorexia. However I’ve been eating fine recently so I don’t think it’s a nutrition problem. I checked my glucose levels and they are 6.4mmol/L Any ideas??
Female | 17
This might be a case of orthostatic hypotension. It may occur when your blood pressure drops suddenly after a sudden change in position. Anorexia has an effect on the heart, which can result in this problem. Drink more fluids and take it slow when switching positions to make the condition easy to manage. If it persists, talk to your doctor.

Girls ka 23 age mein estrogen kitna hona chahiye ? Kya 324.6 zyda ha? Blood 9 ko diya tha is month 14 ko period howy thy.kitny percent zyda ha?
Female | 23
Based on your menstrual cycle, a 23-year-old woman with estrogen levels falling between 60 and 300 pg/mL, and variability in between, pretty much sums up the normal range. The level of 324.6 pg/mL might look high, but this interpretation is undoubtedly contingent on your health and your cycle timing. Common symptoms for people who have an imbalance may include mood swings, irregular menstruation, or physical development. I sincerely advise you to consult with your endocrinologist for more personalized insights and some golden rules of remediation. They will be able to clear up any ambiguities and help you realine your care needs.

Hai Doctor good morning I am mother of a 14 year old girl.She has irregular periods.we consulted a gynecologist and did blood test, hormone test,TSH test.and scanning.everything is perfect except HB count.It is 10.3. First doctor gave iron and calcium tablets for two weeks.In that month period was correct . But in certain months periods come with 15 days of interval only .That is ,if it came on 17 th of this month again came on 30 th of the same month.Then doctor prescribed combee L contraceptive oral pills. My daughter ate it for one month. Doctor asked us to come on 5th day of the period then .we went again . Doctor again prescribed combee L contraceptive pills.Is it advisable to use combee L contraceptive pills for a 14 year old girl?pls advice..
Female | 14
A hemoglobin level of 10.3 can contribute to irregular periods due to inadequate oxygen supply. The iron supplements should help improve this over time. The contraceptive pills prescribed can regulate her cycle by providing a steady hormone level. It's quite common for young girls to use these pills for period irregularities. Just make sure to follow up with the gynecologist regularly to monitor her progress.

I am 32 years guy , I took hormone replacement therapy HRT for 3 months but stopped long time ago Since then I started occasionally to find a few drops of blood in my underwear a bit in the right side in the middle between the front and back despite that I never felt I ma bleeding and also I don't have any injury in this area. I made quick search I found that sometimes happens for a transwoman and is called "Breakthrough" bleeding Just not sure what it is exactly and where this blood came from Is it anything like menstrual bleeding? so if you have an idea about it would be kind to let me know
Male | 32
You may be going through the phenomenon of breakthrough bleeding. Normally, this may happen after taking hormone replacement therapy. The blood you see may not be like menstrual bleeding in your case. It could be your body learning to cope with the hormone changes. Breakthrough bleeding is usually harmless, but it's good to mention it to an endocrinologist.

I want to gain healthy weight
Female | 22
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.

Female | 39
An elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone may indicate an underactive thyroid, which can lead to fatigue or weight gain. The elevated blood sugar level points towards potential insulin resistance, often linked to lifestyle factors like diet and exercise. The mildly high hemoglobin A1c indicates you're in the prediabetes range. I recommend focusing on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, alongside regular physical activity. It’s also important to consult a healthcare professional for an in-depth evaluation and tailored advice. They can provide the best guidance moving forward.

Male | 17
It's okay to be upset by the changes in your body in puberty. If there's hair down there, puberty has started. Other things like beards or chest hair might take longer to show up. It's also fine if your penis and testicles are kind of small right now - they grow at different rates for everyone.

A high HS-CRP level can indicate inflammation in the body, which may arise from various factors like infection, stress, or chronic conditions. Your HbA1c level is within a normal range, suggesting good blood sugar control. However, a low Vitamin D level can impact your overall well-being, leading to fatigue or bone discomfort. It's essential to increase dietary sources of Vitamin D, such as fatty fish and fortified foods, or discuss supplementation with a endocrinologist.

Thyroid high hone se kya bimri ho jati hai
Male | 17
The thyroid gland creates hormones. Too many hormones mean hyperthyroidism. You may lose weight, feel anxious, have a fast heartbeat, or sweat excessively. Graves' disease causes hyperthyroidism. Medications lower thyroid hormone levels. In severe cases, surgery removes part of the thyroid. If you suspect hyperthyroidism, consult your doctor immediately. They can evaluate symptoms and prescribe treatment.

Female | 23
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.
