I'm a bit worried about my recent thyroid function test results. They did the tests on 04062016 and my T3 level came back as 1.09 ngml, which I know falls somewhere within the normal 0.72-2.02 ngml range. But here's where I get confused my T4 was 8.38 ugdl and TSH was 5.61 uIUml. I understand that T4 seems to be okay within the normal 4.3-12.5 ugdl range, but my TSH level is above the normal 0.4-4.2 uIUml range. Do you think I should start medication based on these results? I'm anxious about what this might mean for my health.

View allSo, I've been advised to take a B12 injection weekly for six weeks and then once a month for the next six months. I'm just wondering, is there a specific time of day that's best to get these injections? Also, I'm currently taking Zitten 20mg in the morning for diabetes and Razel 5mg at night. Should I be concerned about any side effects or interactions with these medications?
Masturbation Frequency and Infertility_ Masturbating 2-3 times a day is considered a normal and healthy frequency. Research suggests that masturbation has no direct link to infertility. The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) states that "masturbation does not affect fertility." _Sperm Count and Semen Analysis_ If you're concerned about your fertility, consider consulting a urologist or an andrologist for a semen analysis. This test evaluates: 1. Sperm count (concentration) 2. Sperm motility (movement) 3. Sperm morphology (shape) 4. Semen volume 5. pH levels A semen analysis can help identify potential issues, but it's essential to note that: - Sperm count can fluctuate due to various factors, such as stress, temperature, and frequency of ejaculation. - A single semen analysis may not provide a complete picture of your fertility. To ensure accurate results, follow these guidelines: 1. Abstain from ejaculation for 2-5 days before the test. 2. Provide a fresh semen sample. 3. Repeat the test after 2-3 months to confirm results.

My TSH levels came back at 15. I'm not sure what dose of Thyronorm I should be taking. Can you guide me? I'm pretty concerned and want to make sure I get it right.

I'm struggling to lose weight, and I think it's because of my hypothyroidism. On top of that, I've noticed some swelling in my hands. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Could there be a connection or something else I should be aware of?
