Questions & Answers on "Thyroid Surgery" (382)

I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease with TSH level almost zero in August 2023. I was prescribed Methimez 15 mg initially, which was gradually reduced to 2.5mg daily. My TSH level is currently 7.9, FT4=0.82, FT3=2.9. Should I still be taking daily methimez 2.5mg or should I fully stop it/reduce it less than 2.5mg daily since TSH level is currently 7.9. History of medical conditions: I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease in August 2023 with TSH level touching zero. Current medication details: I was prescribed Methimez 15mg daily which was gradually reduced and is currently prescribed at 2.5mg on a daily basis. History of medication for the same complaint: None

Graves' Disease affects thyroid function. Your recent TSH test result at 7.9 shows an imbalance. To regulate hormone levels, continue taking Methimazole 2.5mg daily as prescribed. Stopping this medicine on your own risks causing uncontrolled symptoms. These may include rapid heartbeat, weight fluctuations, and fatigue. If you have any worries or questions, be sure to discuss them with your doctor.

Your test results show elevated levels in liver enzymes (AST, ALT, Gamma GT), which may indicate liver stress or damage. The higher MPV and kidney function markers also need attention. Visit a hepatologist for liver concerns and a nephrologist for kidney health to get a clear diagnosis and treatment plan. It’s important to follow their advice for further tests or treatments.

What could the reason for it and how can I treat it

Female | 17

Your unintended weight loss raises concern. There might be reasons like thyroid problems, lack of nutrition, or health issues behind it. You may feel tired, muscles weak, and unable to focus well. It's wise to visit a dietitian who'll do tests to find the cause. They may suggest diet changes or medicines to help.

Female | 24

Irregular menstrual cycles, along with unexplained weight changes and fatigue, can result from various factors, including hormonal imbalances, stress, or underlying health conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It’s important to prioritize your well-being. Maintaining a balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and managing stress can help. However, seeking guidance from a endocrinologist is crucial for personalized evaluation and treatment options. They can provide tailored advice and support based on your specific situation, ensuring you receive the best care possible.
