Question 1

Can someone with diabetes donate blood? I've got an O negative blood type and would love to donate if I can. I'm on meds for thyroid, diabetes, cholesterol, blood pressure, and I'm also dealing with obesity, but all these things are managed and under control right now.

Empty Sac with Delayed Yolk Sac Development: Next Steps_

Given the initial empty sac at 8 weeks and the subsequent appearance of a 3.5mm yolk sac, the situation is uncertain. A yolk sac size of 3.5mm is smaller than expected for an 8-week pregnancy.

_Possible Scenarios:_

1. _Delayed embryonic development_: The embryo might be developing slower than expected.
2. _Miscarriage or failed pregnancy_: Unfortunately, this is also a possible outcome.

_Recommended Actions:_

1. _Wait for a few more days_: Schedule a follow-up ultrasound in 7-10 days to reassess the pregnancy.
2. _Monitor hCG levels_: Track your human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels to ensure they're rising appropriately.
3. _Prepare for possible outcomes_: Understand that the pregnancy may not be viable, and be prepared for that possibility.
Please consult your gynaecologist

Question 2

I recently got my TSH test results back, and it came out as 0.02. I'm kind of worried about it. Could you guide me on what steps I should take next and explain what this might mean for my thyroid health?

Accepted Answer

Hi, a TSH level of 0.02 is very low and suggests hyperthyroidism or an overactive thyroid. I recommend consulting your doctor or an endocrinologist for further evaluation, including free T3, T4, and antibody tests, to identify the cause and determine the appropriate treatment.

Question 3

I've noticed my breast size is really small, measuring at just 30 with a small cup size. I'm curious if there are any medications that can help increase them, as I'm really not keen on going for surgery. What options do I have?

Accepted Answer

-Hi there, it's understandable to feel concerned about breast size. While there are no proven medications to significantly increase breast size, maintaining a healthy diet, exercising, and wearing a well-fitting bra may help improve the overall appearance

I've had gynecomastia under just my right nipple for the past 13 years it stays the same size but hurts when I press it. Does ayurveda offer any treatment options that don't involve surgery?

For gynecomastia, Ayurveda may offer herbal treatments or massage therapies to reduce breast size, but surgery is generally more effective if the condition persists.
