My recent blood report shows my prolactin level is 45, and my doctor said this is causing my irregular periods. Currently, I have been prescribed tablets to regulate my periods for 3 months. Could you please advise what steps I should take to normalize my prolactin levels?

A prolactin level of 45 ng per mL is mildly elevated. If periods are irregular and this persists, it could be due to stress, thyroid dysfunction, or a small pituitary issue. Continue the tablets as advised. If symptoms persist, follow up testing such as a thyroid panel or MRI of the brain (to check pituitary) may be needed.

My name is Jagadeesh, and I am a mariner. My height is 179 cm, and my current weight is 90 kg, which I believe is overweight for my height. I am actively trying to lose weight through regular morning walking and light jogging. To support my weight loss efforts, I recently purchased a supplement called Garcinia Cambogia. I would like your expert advice on whether it is safe and effective to take this supplement twice daily, 30 minutes before breakfast and dinner, as mentioned on the label. My goal is to lose at least 5 kg in 30 days. I would appreciate your guidance
