Patient's Query

i am 17 years old and im not sure if ive hit puberty. i have pubic hair but no facial or chest hair, and my penis and testicles have not grown, this is emberassing for me.

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

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.

I'm a 35-year-old female with hypothyroidism. What kind of diet should I follow to manage my condition better and maintain a healthy weight?

Female | 35

Hypothyroidism refers to a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough of the thyroid hormone. You may gain weight easily, feel tired, and have difficulty concentrating. To combat your problem and to maintain a healthy body try to have balanced food. The best way to include them in your diet is to concentrate on whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Sweet stuff and processed foods must be out of your sight. Eating right can have a significant effect on your metabolic rate and the overall performance of your body.

I have insulin resistance. Can I drink fennel seeds water as my night drink? Will it help in reducing my blood sugar levels?

Hi I'm Gopinath. I'm diagnosed with low vitamin d (14 ng/ml). I feel really exhausted and leg below knee hurt so much. I'm currently taking D rise 2k, Evion LC and Methylcobalamin 500 mcg. How long it will take to cure and I feel normal

Male | 24

Having low vitamin D can make you fe­el very tired. It can also cause­ pain in your legs. The medicine­s you are taking are good. But it takes time­ to feel bette­r. It usually takes a few wee­ks or months for your vitamin D levels to go up. And it takes time­ to feel normal again. Kee­p taking your medicines eve­ry day.

I have noticed neck darkness, pimples on your face, and excess underarm fat and darkening. I had plantar facilities and breast abscess and bartholin cyst in past history.

Many symptoms are bothering you. Inflammation in the body causing joint pain may be related to PCOS and vitamin deficiencies. Hormonal imbalances could be one reason why your neck has become darker along with the skin underarms. A good way to reduce these signs is to eat balanced meals regularly, exercise often, and manage stress properly. If necessary, you should also take care of yourself more than anything else by seeking help from a medical professional.

Not gaining weight. My age is 19 nd weight is 28 .

Female | 19

People your age should gain weight bit by bit. Perhaps you are not eating enough or have thyroid issues among other things which commonly lead to a lack of weight gain. Have balanced diet meals that are inclusive of proteins, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. To rule out any health complications, go for regular checkups with a physician.

I'm Farhanaz Parvin I'm 27 years old. HCG 5000 is not working for me.how to take 1000hcg injection?is there a gap of 12 hours will it works?

Female | 27

If the 5000 HCG isn't working well for you, it's best to bring to your doctor's attention for a dosage adjustment. The 1000 HCG injection plus 12 hours is not likely to work and may even cause side effects. The resulting signs can be hormone disturbances and pregnancy problems. The doctor will indicate the correct dosage to help you feel better.

I accidentally took 2.5 instead of .25 semiglutide. What should I do.

Female | 51

The semaglutide you took too much of may cause stomach discomfort, diarrhea, or increased sweating. The risk of receiving too much is the probability of being unable to lower your blood sugar levels. You should drink water and eat a sweet thing like a piece of candy or juice. Don't worry; if you feel discomfort, you may seek the advice of a medical professional immediately. Please take care!

It see­ms you may have symptoms of thyroid problems or PCOS. Both can make you fe­el stressed, sad, lose­ hair, tired, and overwhelme­d.

Sir my c-peptide test results 7.69 And my hb1c 5.2 Feeling empty stomach and weekness and low suger I am non diabetic

Male | 45

Based on the symptoms and test results, it appears that your body might not be producing enough insulin. This is known to cause low sugar, weakness, and hunger. Even if you’re not diabetic, such problems could be related to insulin. Attempt taking small frequent meals high in protein and fiber. Seek further assessment and advice from a doctor if these symptoms persist.

SUGAR LEVEL 230 AFTER EATING AND 112/79 (109 PULSE) (PULSE SOMETIMES GO 77 AND SOMETIMES 110+) WHAT CAN I DO TO TO CONTROL SUGAR AND BP LIKE A NORMAL PERSON

Male | 59

A blood sugar level of 230 after eating is too high, and fluctuating blood pressure isn't good. This may indicate uncontrolled diabetes, which can cause dizziness or chest pain. To manage it, eat balanced meals, exercise regularly, and reduce salt, sugar, and stress. Drink more water, cut down on caffeine, and ensure you get good sleep. If your readings remain high, see a doctor. Maintaining balanced meals, regular exercise, less salt and sugar, and managing stress, along with staying hydrated and getting enough sleep, are crucial.
