It seems to me that you have developed herpes zoster infection, but a dermatologist would judge better, so refer this page to find doctors - Dermatologists in India. If you find your diabetes interfering with or complicating your conditions then you can contact me anytime as well.

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.

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.

I have diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in October 2023 , i get my periods on time till now but only problem is the flow change its very light and scanty only lasts for about 2 days earlier it was normal flow with 5 day cycle I am very irritated because of this , I live in hostel so when I get home back it was gradually become a little normal but then again the same when came back .pls guide some medications to normal it

Female | 19

Hormonal imbalances with hyperthyroidism can alter your cycle. This may lead to light, scanty menstruation. The good news is that when you return home, it becomes normal again but changes after some time. For you, adjusting medications could be useful in balancing hormones as well as enhancing flow during menses. Have a talk with your doctor about this.

Age:- 48 yrs Male, Got tested HbA1c n reported as>10% , & Mean blood glucose level is 263.3 mg/ dl.

Male | 48

It looks like the blood sugar level of this 48-year-old person is extremely high. If the HbA1c is over 10% and the average blood glucose level is 263.3 mg/dL, it means the diabetes is not well controlled. Common symptoms include frequent urination, thirst, weight loss, and tiredness. This could be due to not taking medications properly or not following a healthy diet. To manage this, eat a balanced diet, take their medicines as prescribed, and exercise regularly.

My mother is suffering from thyroid ,she had a mild stroke before some days now she is in bed .A physiotherapy is done every day at home.but she is very weak.we have done her thyroid test this is here T3-111.5 T4-9.02 TSH-7.110. Please let me know the exact power of her medicine.

Female | 68

It appears to me that she suffers from hypothyroidism because of a lack of energy amongst other symptoms. A high TSH means that the thyroid is not producing enough hormones. Possibly, she may have to adjust the dosage of her thyroid medication to correspond with these levels. Please ensure that she adheres to taking her drugs regularly as well as continuing physiotherapy for all-round healing.

Planing to take multivitamin tablet before going to sleep, every night. Is there any risky side effects? And if there is no risk Can i know how much dosage should i take as a 16 year old, 49kg boy.

Male | 16

Many people­ think about their health, like taking a multivitamin. Having it be­fore sleep is usually ok. But, you can't take­ too much. A 16-year-old boy weighing 49kg should follow the dosage­ instructions carefully. Overdoing certain vitamins may cause­ issues. For example, an upse­t stomach or headaches. If you notice anything unusual afte­r taking the multivitamin, like stomach pain or rashes, stop right away. Talk to a doctor.

Female | 26

It’s normal for their cholesterol levels to go up. Moreover, the thyroid medication you are on may be a contributing factor. Keep track of your cholesterol since it can sometimes be risky. Ensure you eat well and stay physically fit too. You should see a doctor about any worries you might have.

I noticed unexpected weight loss of my body during last few months. Report tell us that haemoglobin is some sort in the body and ECG report suggests that everything is normal. One more concern is that in night, don't sleep comes..??

Male | 52

Excessive weight loss and too little sleep are some reasons that could be due to worry, an unhealthy diet, or maybe some other ailments such as hyperthyroidism. It is great to hear that your hemoglobin is within limits and your ECG is normal, yet it is probably useful to chat with your doctor to get an idea about what your dearth of sleep stems from. Don't forget to tell your doctor about all your symptoms and worries, so they can help you understand the best solution to your problem.

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 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.

Hi I’m a 23 year old female, I got few test done which says I have UTI and a prolactin level of 33, HCG <2.0, TSH 1.16. Can I know the reason of it ?

Female | 23

UTI means Urinary Tract Infection which can give rise to such symptoms as pain during urination. Prolactin level 33 could be high affecting periods and fertility. HCG <2.0 means you are not pregnant. TSH 1.16 is normal for thyroid function. UTIs can be cured by antibiotics while elevated prolactin may require further assessment by a doctor to determine its cause.

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.

If a male's system contains excessive estrogen, it may result in problems such as tiredness, increased fat, and a change in disposition. This can occur from being overweight, some drugs, or illnesses. To reduce these levels of estrogen it is helpful to exercise regularly, have a balanced diet, and manage stress. Men should not drink alcohol if they want their estrogen level down; they also need to keep fit for this hormone balance.
