I've been feeling a bit off lately and a friend mentioned it might be a vitamin D deficiency. Is there a specific test I can take to check for this? And what should the ideal levels be if I'm looking at the results?

Yes, a simple blood test, specifically the 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) test, can diagnose vitamin D deficiency; the ideal level is generally considered to be between 30-50 ngmL, with levels below 20 ngmL indicating deficiency, 21-29 ngmL indicating insufficiency, and above 50 ngmL potentially indicating toxicity

Accepted Answer

A small gallbladder polyp of 15mm size is generally considered to be low risk for malignancy. However, it is important to monitor it regularly as there is a small risk of it developing into a cancerous growth over time. In Bangalore, you can consult with a Gastroenterologist or a Hepatobiliary Surgeon for further advice on the management and monitoring of the gallbladder polyp. As for homeopathy treatment, there is limited scientific evidence to support its efficacy in treating gallbladder polyps. It is always recommended to follow evidence-based medical treatments for such conditions. If you still wish to explore homeopathy, you can consult with a qualified and experienced homeopath for personalized treatment options.
