I'm really worried about my wife's thyroid levels. Her TSH level came back as 8, which seems high, but her FT3 and FT4 are normal. Does this mean she has hypothyroidism? I looked it up and found something about subclinical hypothyroidism and a test for antibodies. Should we consider doing that test? What would be the right treatment for this situation?

Based on the high TSH level and normal FT3 and FT4 levels, it is likely that your wife has subclinical hypothyroidism. The treatment for this condition typically involves taking Levothyroxine. The usual starting dose for Levothyroxine in adults with subclinical hypothyroidism is 25-50 mcg per day. It is important to follow up with regular blood tests to monitor thyroid function and adjust the dosage as needed.

View allI'm a 22-year-old male, and I've recently noticed that my nipples are puffy. When I press them, I can feel a lot of lumps underneathsome are small, some are big, flat, or even pointed, and they're quite painful. Should I be worried about this? Is there something specific I should do or look out for?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called gynecomastia, which is the swelling of breast tissue in boys or men caused by an imbalance of the hormones estrogen and testosterone. In your case, the presence of painful lumps in both nipples could indicate a more severe form of gynecomastia. I recommend you to take Ibuprofen 400mg twice a day for pain relief and to reduce inflammation. Additionally, you can use a topical pain relief gel like Voltaren gel on the affected area. However, it is important to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and management of your condition.

I'm currently undergoing a follicular study, and today is day 13 my right ovary has follicles sized 25x20 and 24x19, while the left has 26x20 and 25x19. The doctor gave me HCG 10,000, and I've started feeling pain. My left tube is disconnected from a past infection and surgery. Is it possible for both ovaries to rupture follicles this cycle, or does only one ovary typically release eggs per cycle? Could both ovaries rupture?
