Question

I'm a 21-year-old woman and I've been struggling with PCOS symptoms like period acne and hair thinning. I took meds for a few months to help with my menstruation, and right now I'm using minoxidil 5% mintop eva for hair loss. I've noticed some new hair growth on my scalp, which is great but also more hair on my face, which is freaking me out a bit since I already had some facial hair. I'm not sure if this is from using minoxidil or just my PCOS acting up. My doctor is away for a few weeks and I don't know whether to stop using minoxidil or what to do. Any advice on this? I'm really confused about what's causing the facial hair growth and how to manage it without losing the hair on my head.

Question

I'm 17 and weigh around 72 kg. I've been dealing with what looks like male breasts for about three years, and it's really starting to bother me. I'm not sure if it's gynecomastia or just chest fat, but surgery isn't something I want to consider. Is there any medication or other solutions I could try to help with this? I'm feeling pretty embarrassed and would really appreciate any advice you can give.

Question

I've been taking Thyronorm 75 mg for my thyroid, but my recent thyroid blood test showed my T3 at 86 ngdl, T4 at 6 ngdl, and TSH at 10.65 nIUml. With my TSH levels being high, I'm wondering if I need to switch my medication to 100 mg instead of the 75 mg I've been taking? Also, I'm quite lean and I'm curious if that's because of my thyroid issueshow can I put on some weight?
