Can you still have PCOS even if your periods are regular? Is there a risk of infertility in this situation? Should I be taking any medication for my acne? My DHT levels are normal, but my ultrasound shows bilateral polycystic ovaries. Is this different from PCOS? I'm worried about starting cytomid because of its side effects and considering I don't even have high DHT. Can you help me with these concerns about medication and PCO?

I'm dealing with a Vitamin D3 deficiency and my doctor prescribed some Vitamin D3 capsules from Mankind that I'm supposed to take weekly. But after taking them, I've been feeling like my head is heavier and I'm constantly thirsty. Is it normal to feel this way? Could there be a problem with how I'm taking them, or is there a better way to boost my Vitamin D3 levels quickly? Any advice would be great.

For a 20mm kidney stone, medication alone may not be effective. Consult your urologist or nephrologist for alternative treatment options. They may recommend: - Alpha-blockers (e.g., Tamsulosin) to help pass the stone - Potassium citrate to help dissolve the stone - Pain management medication (e.g., analgesics) Surgical options, such as lithotripsy or ureteroscopy, may also be considered.

I've been married for a year and a half and have been trying to conceive for the past nine months with treatment. I'm dealing with PCOD and I'm wondering if it's actually possible to conceive naturally with this condition. Any insights would really help me.

PCOD can make it more difficult to conceive, but it is still possible. Your doctor may prescribe you metformin to help regulate your menstrual cycle and ovulation. In addition, you may be prescribed clomiphene citrate to stimulate ovulation. Make sure to follow your doctor's recommendations for dosage and timing.
