Is it okay to take fruselac ds every day for water retention because of my hypothyroidism? I'm worried about any side effects. I've been feeling more sluggish and noticed some weight gain because of the water retention. Are there any other remedies or home treatments I could try instead?

Is one of the symptoms of diabetes an itchy back?

Itchy skin can be a sign of diabetes especially if other symptoms are also present and blood sugar levels are elevated from prolonged time.

I'm really concerned about my journey trying to conceive - it's been 23 months of trying, and I'm getting worried. My periods are regular, and all my blood tests, like TSH and prolactin, have come back normal. The only thing is my blood sugar is in the pre-diabetic range. Now I've found out about this myometrial cyst, and I'm wondering if it could be affecting my ability to conceive. Could this be a reason for the delay, and what should I do about it?

A myometrial cyst is a benign fluid-filled cyst in the muscle layer of the uterus, usually not related to fertility issues. Since your periods are regular and other tests are normal, it's a good sign, but pre-diabetes can affect fertility. It's a good idea to manage your blood sugar levels for better chances of conception.
