My TSH level is 82.5 and I might need surgery with general anesthesia is that safe or should I be worried about my thyroid levels affecting the procedure?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A TSH level of 82.5 is significantly elevated, indicating hypothyroidism. This can increase the risk of complications during surgery and anesthesia, particularly related to heart failure, hypothermia, and electrolyte imbalances. While surgery is generally safe, it's crucial to discuss your high TSH with your surgeon and anesthesiologist to address potential risks and ensure a safe procedure.

View allI'm a bit worried because even though all my reports are normal and I've been doing follicular studies for the last two cyclesI'm ovulating on CD13-14 and my follicle size seems finewe've been trying to conceive for over two years. My husband's report shows a 56 million sperm count with a motility rate of 65%, but the liquefaction time is more than two hours. Could that be causing us issues in getting pregnant?

I've been struggling with gynaecomastia for a while now and tried everything from dieting to gym workouts and running, but nothing seems to work. Is there any way to fix this without going through surgery?
it is possible to decrease the breast prominence by a weight-loss and exercise program as a first-line treatment. Frequently, recurrence in patients affected by gynecomastia results from an imbalance between estradiol and testosterone, and such cases can resolve without surgical intervention.

I'm a bit confused about some medical stuff. So, in the context of a COVID test, what exactly does the target gene CT value mean? Like, if someone has a CT value of 17.5, is that considered low or high? Also, if a person has thyroid issues, do the medicines change if they get COVID?
The target gene CT value in a COVID-19 test represents the number of cycles needed to detect the virus's genetic material, with lower values (e.g., 17.5) indicating a higher viral load, while higher values suggest a lower viral load or potential false positive; regarding thyroid conditions, COVID-19 treatment does not typically involve thyroid medications, but underlying thyroid conditions may require adjustments to existing medications or additional supportive care.
