I'm a little concerned about my wife's health. Her recent test results show a high TSH value of 17.32, and while she's been struggling with being overweight, she doesn't have any other issues. Should we be worried about this result, and what might it mean for her thyroid function?

I'm a bit concerned about my current situation. On the 14th day, my left follicle size is 2.1 cm, but my endometrium thickness is only 4.8 mm. My doctor advised waiting until the 16th day to see if the endometrium can reach 6 mm before we go ahead with IUI.

I'm really worried because one side of my chest is swollen and it's been painful when I press on it. I'm 21 and this has been going on for two years now. I think it might be gynecomastia. I'm really hoping there's something I can do about it besides surgery. Is there any other treatment or way to deal with this?

What is the best diet for diabetics?

Regular and consistent diet is most important, with no feasts and fasts. Split your diet into 3-4 meals. Avoid sugar and sugar containing foods, and fried foods. Avoid fats (butter, oil, malai) and fat rich foods (puri, paratha, chat, namkeen etc.) Choose healthy carbohydrates, such as fruit, vegetables, whole grains, beans, and low-fat milk, as part of your diabetes meal plan.
