Question 1

Could you advise on the correct dosage of vitamin D I should be taking and how often I need to take it? I want to make sure I'm doing it right.

Accepted Answer

The recommended dose of vitamin D varies depending on age, deficiency level, and health status; generally, 600-800 IUday is recommended for adults, 1,000-2,000 IUday for deficient individuals, and 2,000-5,000 IUday for severe deficiencies; take vitamin D supplements with a fatty meal, preferably breakfast, and consider the following dosing schedules:

- Mild deficiency: 600-800 IUday for 1-3 months
- Moderate deficiency: 1,000-2,000 IUday for 3-6 months
- Severe deficiency: 2,000-5,000 IUday for 6-12 months

Question 2

I'm a bit worried and need some advice. I had an IVF procedure on August 26th, and on September 9th, my beta hCG level was 44.34. I repeated the same test later that day, and it went up to 51.80. Then, two days later, it rose to 97.79. Am I pregnant? Please help me understand what's going on.

Question 3

I've been dealing with moderate man boobs and wanted to know if there's any approved treatment for it. Is gynexol actually effective or should I look into other options? Could hormone balancing help get rid of this or is surgery the only way?

Accepted Answer

For moderate gynecomastia (man boobs), several treatment options are available, including medical management and surgery. While Gynexol (a potential supplement) is not a scientifically proven or approved treatment for gynecomastia, it's crucial to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment. Hormonal imbalances can contribute to gynecomastia, and some medications, like tamoxifen or anastrozole, may help address this. However, for severe cases or when medical management isn't effective, surgery, such as liposuction or mastectomy, may be necessary.
