Question 1

My recent blood test shows a Vitamin D level of 12.08 ng/mL, while my serum calcium level is normal at 10 mg/dL. Should I take only a Vitamin D supplement, or a combination of Vitamin D with calcium? Please advise. I have attached my report for reference.

Question 2

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?

Question 3

My blood test report of 8 April shows 25 OH Vitamin D 17.3 ng/ml and serum calcium 10.3 mg/dl. It is usually said that vitamin D deficiency causes low calcium, but my calcium is almost high. Could there be another problem? I recently passed a kidney stone. Is it related? Is having sun exposure for 15 minutes every morning enough for vitamin D?

Hello Doctor. Please see my report and advise me on treatment and medicine. My vitamin D level is very low. Can I take cod liver oil tablets and Uprise D3 pack? Please advise me on what to do?

Yes, both are useful. Uprise D3 is a high dose option for quick correction. Cod liver oil can be continued later for maintenance. Monitor Vitamin D levels post taking treatment.
