Your triglyceride level is elevated and HDL is low, indicating moderate cardiovascular risk. Lifestyle changes like low fat diet, exercise are key. A repeat lipid profile and liver function test in 3 months is advisable.

Hi, my blood report shows triglycerides at 343 mg/dL and VLDL at 68. Could you please help me understand what these values indicate and if there is anything wrong?

I have been diagnosed with a cyst in my left ovary. I am sexually active and currently taking medication to control my IgE levels. My report states that the left ovary is bulky and shows a well defined uniloculated cystic lesion measuring approximately 39 by 35mm, described as a simple cyst without any internal echoes, septa, calcification, or nodules. My homeopathy doctor said there is nothing to worry about. Is this really normal? What precautions should I take, how can it be treated, and what problems could this cyst potentially cause?
