Question 2

I'm 22 and just found out my TSH levels are really high, like 150. Could my habit of masturbation be causing this? Also, I'm worried if this condition might lead to any issues later on, like after I get married. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Accepted Answer

Masturbation has no effect on thyroid values in the body. Hypothyroidism is a common disease which is easily treatable through long term medication. However, it is best to start treatment early because untreated hypothyroidism can lead to a plethora of complications, some of which may be predisposing factors for infertility.

Accepted Answer

I recommend taking "Drisdol" at a dosage of 50,000 IU once a week for 8 weeks, followed by a maintenance dose of 800-2000 IU per day. For Vitamin B12 deficiency, I recommend taking "Cyanocobalamin" at a dosage of 1000 mcg once daily for a few weeks, followed by a maintenance dose of 100-200 mcg per day.
