My blood calcium levels are high at 12.5 and urine tests also show excess calcium. The sestamibi scan points to the lower right lobe being affected. I'm worried about the surgery will it be done under general or local anesthesia? How long does the procedure usually take and what's the typical hospital stay? Also, which surgical method works best for this condition?

For high blood calcium caused by an overactive parathyroid gland, surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia, with the procedure taking around 1-2 hours, and a hospital stay of usually one night. Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy is the preferred surgical method for most cases.

I'm hoping you can help me out because I've been struggling to get clear answers from the homeopathic doctors who prescribed me Testis siccati 3x. I'm really curious if this medicine actually contains testosterone like what's used in testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and if it works the same way as when you inject testosterone. Also, I'm worried if taking this might cause my body to stop producing its own natural testosterone and if there's a risk of becoming dependent on it over time. It's been helpful, but I'm nervous about potentially causing more harm than getting just temporary relief. Could you explain or point me in the right direction for answers?
Injecting testosterone and medicine r 2 different things. Injectable things generally body treat as foreign particle so it effect is limited time and after some time body remove it. Bt homoeopathic medicine generally prepare to its actually product and given in very nano form. In body homoeopathic medicine amount is very less bt energy is high so it act on normal hormonal system to produce more testosterone naturally due to homoeopathic medicine. There r lots of thing which r not says in few line. Nobody can depended on homoeopathic medicine. Once medicine start it produces naturally so no need of dependence on medicine.
