Question 3

I am a working woman living alone in Mumbai with rotational shifts (morning, day, and night), so I do not have a consistent routine. Recently, I visited my hometown for almost a month. I saw a general physician who did a full body check-up and tests. My reports are mostly normal, except for Vitamin D deficiency and a small functional cyst in my right ovary. My doctor said this cyst is common in women and usually resolves after 2 to 3 menstrual cycles. I have not had regular periods for the past 7 months. Once, my cycle was delayed by 21 days, but normally the interval is 6 days or longer. I do not have facial hair, but after using a Flawless trimmer for women once, I developed cystic acne, especially around the jawline and smile lines. I also experience mild depression, stress, anxiety, and fatigue. Could you please advise what could be causing these issues, and what steps I should take next?

My report came today which shows 315 nmol vitamin D hydroxy. I have already taken Lumia 60k today. What should I do. Is this a medical emergency?

A level of 315 nmol per Liter is high. While not an emergency, you should pause all Vitamin D supplements and drink plenty of water. Consult your doctor to monitor calcium and kidney function. Please get serum calcium and kidney function tests done to assess the impact and guide further treatment.
