I had inguinal hernia surgery 28 days ago, but for the past 3 days, I've been having pain in my thyroid area. Could this be related to the surgery or is it something else? Wondering why this is happening now.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's unlikely that thyroid pain is directly related to an inguinal hernia surgery, especially occurring three weeks after the procedure. While some pain can be expected after surgery, thyroid pain is not a typical symptom. It's possible this could be a separate issue, and it's best to consult with a doctor for proper diagnosis and guidance.

View allWhats the ideal vitamin D range for women? I got my vitamin D levels checked today and theyre at 44. Based on this, should I be considering any supplements? Also, I sometimes take Shelcal HD on and off.
The normal vitamin D range for women is typically between 30 to 50 ngmL. Since your vitamin D level is 44 ngmL, it falls within the normal range. However, if you have symptoms of vitamin D deficiency or if your doctor recommends it, you can consider taking supplements. Shelcal HD is a good calcium supplement, but for vitamin D supplementation, you can consider taking "D-rise" 60,000 IU once a week for 8 weeks followed by "Uprise D3" 60,000 IU once a month. Be sure to follow your doctor's advice regarding supplementation.

Hey, I've just turned 26 and I'm a guy. I recently had a health checkup and it turns out my TSH levels are unbelievably high at 96.34. My doctor wanted to double-check, so I got tested again, and now it's 99.46. My latest test results show T3 at 0.90, Free T4 at 0.53, and TSH at 99.46. I'm worried about how this might affect my daily life. I'm not married yet and I'm scared this could mess up my married life in the future. I do a lot of sportscan that help me manage things apart from taking medication? Also, I've started to notice I'm not handling the cold too well, plus my scalp and skin are pretty dry. Feeling a bit lost herehow is this going to impact my life moving forward? Any insights would be really appreciated.
Having high TSH levels can indicate hypothyroidism, which can affect your energy levels, metabolism, mood, and overall well-being. In terms of your future marriage life, high TSH levels can potentially impact fertility and sexual health, so it's important to address this issue. Regular exercise can help to some extent, but medication is usually necessary to regulate thyroid function. For your symptoms of intolerance to cold, scalpdry skin, and other potential hypothyroidism symptoms, your doctor may prescribe levothyroxine, which is a synthetic thyroid hormone. It's important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your thyroid levels and adjust your medication as needed. Making lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, and managing stress can also support thyroid health.

Does losing weight lower fasting blood sugar?
In some cases, weight loss is enough to restore blood sugar to a normal level, which eliminates diabetes. Even if it doesn't get your blood sugar completely back to normal, it may lower your need for insulin therapy or other medications to control diabetes
