I'm struggling to lose weight, and I think it's because of my hypothyroidism. On top of that, I've noticed some swelling in my hands. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Could there be a connection or something else I should be aware of?

I'm a 30-year-old and I'm curious about how I might be able to increase the Y chromosomes in my sperm. Can changing my diet help with this? Also, is there a way to test the Y chromosome levels in my sperm?

Increasing the number of Y chromosomes in sperm isn't something that can be directly influenced by food habits. The sex chromosomes in sperm are determined naturally during sperm production. While there's no specific test to check Y chromosomes in sperm, you can opt for sperm sorting methods like sperm sex selection, which is available in some fertility clinics. It's always best to consult a fertility specialist for personalized advice.

I'm trying to conceive and I have PCOD. My blood sugar levels are 106 when fasting and 137 two hours after a meal. Should I be worried about diabetes, or are these levels okay?

Your blood sugar levels of 106 mgdL (fasting) and 137 mgdL (2 hours after meal) are within normal range. However, since you have PCOD and are trying to conceive, it is important to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly. You can continue with a healthy diet and regular exercise to maintain your blood sugar levels. If needed, you can consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.
