View allI'm really concerned because my blood test showed my Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) level is at 22.64 IUml, while the reference range is 0.30 to 5.5. Is this something I should be worried about? What exactly does TSH do, and why would my levels be so high?
This condition is called hypothyroidism. You need to consult a physician and start the medication

I've recently undergone an embryo transfer and my doctor has prescribed me an injection called DoctorsFaciloc 40 MG. I'm really curious and a bit anxious about it. Can you explain why this injection is necessary after an embryo transfer? What benefits does it offer during this process?
Faciloc 40 mg is often prescribed after embryo transfer to help support the implantation process by improving blood flow to the uterus. It helps in reducing the risk of clot formation and enhances the chances of a successful pregnancy.

I'm trying to understand why my postprandial sugar levels are lower than my fasting levels. I've been monitoring my sugar, and it's concerning since my fasting sugar reads around 122-130 and my PP is usually between 102-110. A couple of years back, my PP was 180 and fasting was at 146 during a check-up. I made some lifestyle changes and managed to bring my weight down from 83 to 71 kg, cut out direct sugar, switched to millets from rice, and I'm eating more veggies and dal. My recent HBA1C is at 5.9, and it has been below 6.3 over the last two years. I also walk about 4 km five days a week. I'm not currently on any medication. Do you think medication might be necessary? Would love your guidance on this.
while postprandial (PP) levels are lower, which could be due to various factors, such as improved insulin sensitivity from weight loss and dietary changes, or potentially, an early sign of hypoglycemia unawareness; given your HbA1c levels have been consistently below 6.3, medication may not be immediately necessary, but your doctor may recommend more frequent blood glucose monitoring, adjustments to your diet or exercise routine, or further testing to rule out any underlying conditions.
