I am currently managing PCOD and have completed a two month course, now starting my third month. Recently, I have been experiencing frequent and severe headaches. My doctor advised me to get my prolactin levels tested, and my blood report shows a prolactin level of 44.45 ng per ml. Could you please advise what steps I should take next?

A slightly raised prolactin level can occur in PCOD or even due to stress. Your doctor may adjust medication accordingly. Exercise helps in resolving PCOD. Stay calm, and track this with repeat testing.

I started my period in 2013. Since then, I have been experiencing irregular periods with gaps of 2 to 3 months. Recently, I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD). My blood report shows that my FSH level is 42.82, which my doctor says is quite high. Could you please explain more about this condition?

Hi, I am having a lump in my chest near the nipples. I am also having hair loss and skin darkening all over my body. I went for hormonal tests because I was feeling I am having hormonal issues. My report suggests abnormal estrogen levels. Please suggest me the solution to balance it?

I am 32 years old and have been suffering from irregular periods for a long time. My doctor, after evaluating my treatment results, mentioned that my uterine lining is thickened due to hormonal problems. I was prescribed Sysron N tablets to regulate my periods and took the course for 28 days. However, my periods did not become regular and started about a month after completing the tablets. Now I am experiencing heavy bleeding and feeling unwell.
