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

Can I take flaxseed powder in the morning on an empty stomach while I am on medication for Vitamin D3 deficiency (level 3.17 ng/mL) and PCOS? All my other tests are normal. I have attached my scan report and medication details for reference. Please review and advise as soon as possible. Thank you.

Question 3

My blood test report shows a severe deficiency of Vitamin D3. Could you please advise which specialist I should consult for proper evaluation and treatment?

Your symptoms likely relate to Vitamin D deficiency (20.07 ng/mL is borderline low) despite normal B12. CRP is mildly elevated, but not alarming without other signs. ESR and thyroid profile are normal. Consider correcting vitamin D to relieve nerve symptoms.
