I'm a bit worried about my thyroid test results and was hoping you could help me understand them. My FT3 level came back at 3.47, FT4 is 1.12, and my TSH level is 5.16. Should I be considering regular medications for this? What do you recommend?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
FT3 and FT4 are normal and TSh is slightly above the normal range. Reduce eating Cauli flower and increase iodine contain in foods

View allI'm dealing with hypothyroidism and could really use some advice on treatment. I also struggle with being too skinny and just can't seem to gain any weight. What steps should I take to address these issues?
For hypothyroidism treatment, consult an endocrinologist or a thyroid specialist who can prescribe synthetic thyroid hormone replacement medication, such as levothyroxine, to regulate your thyroid hormone levels; to gain weight, focus on consuming more calories than you burn, eating nutrient-dense foods, including protein shakes, nuts, dried fruits, and avocados, and consider consulting a registered dietitian for a personalized meal plan.

I'm 27 and have been doing masturbation since I was 13. My testosterone level is only 269 ngml. My hair is thinning all over my body, and the hair roots seem weak. Even my beard is getting thin and gray. It feels like I'm showing signs of premature aging since June 2017. I saw a homeopathic doctor, but haven't seen much improvement in my hair. Is this something that can be fixed? I'm really worried about it. What should I do?
I would recommend starting with a medication called Finasteride at a dose of 1mg daily to help with hair loss. Additionally, you can consider using Minoxidil solution twice daily on the affected areas. These medications can help improve hair growth and thickness. As for your low testosterone levels, you may benefit from Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) under the guidance of a healthcare provider. It's important to follow up regularly with your doctor to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan

I'm in my second trimester, and my thyroid was detected back in the first trimester. I've been taking medication, but now my thyroid level is 11.7, and I'm really worried about it. I had a second-level ultrasound, and thankfully everything seemed normal, and the baby is doing well. Can you guide me on this and maybe suggest some diet changes that might help with my thyroid condition?
.Well your tsh levels are still high and you definitely need to take treatment for your hypothyroidism..I would suggest you to meet a gynecologist and start the recommended treatment as you are pregnant..You don't have to worry as with the correction you can continue the pregnancy also..
