I'm curious if switching from my regular Thyrofit 50 medication to homeopathy could possibly cure my thyroid problem for good. I've been dealing with this for about 4 years now. Is a permanent cure really possible with homeopathy?

View allI'm a 22-year-old who's underweight and has thyroid issues, and my breast size is 32B. Is there any way to naturally increase my breast size without surgery? Do massages or exercises actually help? I feel really insecure about my small breasts and need advice on how to deal with this.
While natural remedies and exercises can't increase breast size, they can improve the appearance and tone of your chest muscles, which can enhance the overall look of your breasts. Focusing on exercises that strengthen the pectoral muscles and a healthy diet can help you feel more confident and comfortable in your own body

Whats the best medication to help bring down high triglyceride levels if theyre over 800? I also have type 2 diabetes. What would you suggest I do?
For high triglycerides above 800 and type 2 diabetes, I recommend starting with a combination of Fenofibrate (Tricor) 145mg once daily and Atorvastatin (Lipitor) 40mg once daily. These medications are effective in lowering triglyceride levels and managing cholesterol in patients with diabetes. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet and regular exercise are also important in managing these conditions.

I'm trying to understand the difference between TSH and TSH ultrasensitive tests. How do they differ, and is one considered better than the other? It's a bit confusing to me.
TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) and TSH Ultra-Sensitive are both blood tests that measure thyroid function, but the key difference lies in their sensitivity: TSH measures TSH levels above 0.5-1.0 mUL, while TSH Ultra-Sensitive measures levels as low as 0.01-0.05 mUL, making it more sensitive in detecting subtle thyroid function abnormalities, especially in cases of hyperthyroidism or thyroiditis, so the Ultra-Sensitive test is generally considered better for diagnosing and monitoring thyroid conditions.
