I'm a bit worried about my thyroid situation. I've been on Electroxin, taking 25 mcg and 50 mcg on alternate days, along with some homeopathic treatment. Recently, my blood test came back with a TSH level of 8.3, but my T3 and T4 levels are normal at 89 ngdl and 7.6 mgdl. I've had thyroid issues for the past 6 years and, initially, I was on 100 mcg of Electroxin. Over the past year, as I began homeo treatments, my doctor gradually reduced the dosage to where it is now. Should I be concerned about the TSH level, and what steps should I take next?

View allI've been dealing with a pituitary macroadenoma for 10 years and have been on cabergoline 0.5 mg twice a week since 2016 to manage it. The tumor size hasn't reduced and has stayed the same for the last 3 years. I've been getting treatment at AIIMS since 2014 but really don't want to go for another transcranial surgery since I've already had two before. The meds or hormonal imbalance have also caused low libido and slower semen regeneration. I've tried Poona Hospital, SGPGI Lucknow, and now AIIMS but I'm exhausted from all the medications. Is there any way to remove this tumor completely without another major surgery? Currently taking Wysolone 2.5-5 mg on alternate days, Thyronorm 100 mg daily, and cabergoline 0.5 mg twice a week. What are my options now?

I'm a thyroid patient and have been on medication for 8 to 10 years. Lately, I've been feeling like there's a lump in my throat, and I often get breathless, mostly in the evenings. Whenever I do any hard work, my breathing gets faster. I'm not sure what's going on. Could you help me figure out what might be wrong?

My friend has been dealing with 3rd degree gynecomastia and really wants to avoid surgery if possible. Are there any non-surgical treatments or lifestyle changes that could help reduce it before considering an operation? He's feeling pretty self-conscious and just wants to explore all options first.
For 3rd degree gynecomastia, non-surgical options like lifestyle changes and medication are unlikely to fully resolve the condition, but they can help manage symptoms and potentially reduce the degree of enlargement before considering surgery. Focusing on weight loss, exercise, and addressing potential hormonal imbalances through lifestyle adjustments and, in some cases, medication, can be a good first step. However, surgery is often the most effective treatment for significant gynecomastia, especially at the 3rd degree level.
