I am overweight and trying to reduce my weight, but I am not seeing quick results. My periods are regular. Is this fine? What else can I do to maintain regular periods?

It is good your periods are still regular despite being overweight. This suggests hormones are mostly balanced. However, weight loss takes time. Aim for slow, steady weight loss with 30 to 45 min daily exercise and balanced meals. Include more protein and fiber, avoid sugar and junk food. Consult a dietitian for personal guidance.

Question

I want to know if I need to seriously consult an endocrinologist as I have low TSH level of 0.17. I am also attaching a screenshot of my blood report. Please suggest what to do next? Thanks in advance.

Question

I am a 29 year old female, married for five years. I have had an MTP and two abortions. My TSH was normal until now, but my latest blood report shows an increased TSH of 7.83. I recently lost 22 kg through a healthy diet and exercises under the guidance of a dietician.

Question

I wanted to ask if it is possible to have hypothyroidism even when thyroid levels appear normal. My recent test results show T3 at 130, T4 at 9.71, and TSH at 1.23, all within the normal range. However, I am experiencing several symptoms such as brain fog, anxiety, slowed thinking, extreme laziness, and memory issues. Could these symptoms still be related to a thyroid issue despite the normal lab values?
