Question 1

I am a working woman living alone in Mumbai with rotational shifts (morning, day, and night), so I do not have a consistent routine. Recently, I visited my hometown for almost a month. I saw a general physician who did a full body check-up and tests. My reports are mostly normal, except for Vitamin D deficiency and a small functional cyst in my right ovary. My doctor said this cyst is common in women and usually resolves after 2 to 3 menstrual cycles. I have not had regular periods for the past 7 months. Once, my cycle was delayed by 21 days, but normally the interval is 6 days or longer. I do not have facial hair, but after using a Flawless trimmer for women once, I developed cystic acne, especially around the jawline and smile lines. I also experience mild depression, stress, anxiety, and fatigue. Could you please advise what could be causing these issues, and what steps I should take next?

Question 2

Hello, Could you please suggest the best vitamin D capsules or supplements? My friend vitamin D level is 15?ng/mL. I have advised her to get at least 30 minutes of morning sunlight daily.

Question 3

Hi, I am experiencing a burning and needle prick type sensation in my arms, legs, and buttocks. My recent blood tests show Vitamin D level: 19 and Vitamin B12 level: 810. Please advise the possible cause and next steps.

Recurrence of joint pain and swelling may point to a vitamin D deficiency or an inflammatory joint issue like arthritis. A rheumatologist or orthopedician would be the right specialist to consult.
