Vitamin D Deficiency: Recommended Dose for Level 6

Patient's Query

I have a deficiency in vitamin D it is 6 what do you recommend for me especially the dose

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Your Vitamin D level of 6 is quite low, and it's important to address this. Usually, doctors recommend a high dose of Vitamin D supplements, often around 50,000 IU once a week for a few months, followed by a maintenance dose. However, it’s best to consult an endocrinologist for the right dosage and treatment plan for your specific needs.

Hi, i am a 30 year old male. i have panhypopituarism. have 4 hormone defieciencies such as growth hormone, hydrocortisone, thryoxin and testosterone. i got treated for other 3 hormones except testosterone and those are fine now . i went to 170cm height from 110 cm. after the HGH replacement. and for other two i am taking those as tablets. Now the issue is i started taking testosterone replacement as well for last 6 months. I got genital hair some strength in my body and my penile length increased. can get semen out from fapping. but the issue is testes havent dropped or descended. my flaccid penis is too small like a toddler. when erected its 6 inches. will it get ok by the time ? or any serious concerns

Male | 30

Your hormone­ therapies' progress is wonde­rful. Changes often require­ patience, so don't fret. Continue­d testosterone tre­atment may aid your underdeve­loped testes and small flaccid pe­nis symptoms. However, consulting your doctor about concerns e­nsures proper progress tracking.

I did two hba1c tests last month. On one day, my hba1c is 7.9 and the other day it's 6.9. I don't know which one to believe. So I did fbs and ppbs 2 weeks ago. My fbs was 82 and ppbs was 103 I also used medication, and was on a strict diet and exercise from last month. Now I have stopped using medicine. I weighed 107 kgs last month. Now I have lost 6 kgs Am I diabetic? Please answer

Male | 27

It's great that your blood sugar levels are getting better with lifestyle changes. HbA1c test measures the average blood sugar for 2-3 months so, a 6.9 result may be more accurate. Weight loss, exercise, diet changes, and stopping the medicines are all the ones that are working in your case. Make a habit of checking your blood sugar levels regularly and don't let it damage your health.

Night hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar in the­ evening, is complex. Be­ing unable to wake up due to this is alarming. It happe­ns when your sugar dips during sleep. You might ne­ed to alter your insulin doses or timing unde­r medical supervision. Complex carbs and prote­in at bedtime can assist in maintaining steady le­vels. Monitor your readings carefully. Discuss any worrie­s with your doctor.

I just started taking bio identical progesterone cream for help with PMS symptoms and I wanted ti know if taking phentermine will have any impact on the progesterone or if the combination together will keep me from getting my period

Female | 34

Phentermine is a medication that aids in weight loss by decreasing the feeling of hunger. Alongside progesterone, phentermine may be lessened in power. You should discuss them with your doctor before taking both at the same time. They can offer you good advice on the impacts of each other and your period.

Female | 29

Your symptoms are likely caused by Cushing's syndrome. This results from your body's overproduction of cortisol. This may include weight gain, lethargy, and mood swings. A doctor should be consulted to receive a diagnosis through tests. Typically, a doctor either gives you medication or does surgery to decrease the cortisol levels for the treatment.

I an 24 year old female my T4is 12.90 and TSH 2.73 , T3=1.45 and Hemoglobin=11.70. I there a matter of concern

Female | 24

Hi there, after looking at your results, it seems to me that with a few exceptions, your thyroid levels are normal. Just to mention the numbers, all TSH, T3, and T4 are great, and hemoglobin appears slightly low, enough to cause symptoms like tiredness and dizziness, or lack thereof. Increasing iron intake through food may help boost the hemoglobin level.
