I am gaining weight drastically and even after following a proper diet I am not able to lose weight. I am having neurological and other problems due to this. My blood report also shows high fat percentage. What should I do to lose weight? I do not want traditional suggestions like diet or exercise as I have already tried those.

Consider hormonal causes like hypothyroidism or Cushing syndrome. You may also explore options like GLP-1 agonists (e.g., semaglutide) under supervision. Please consult an endocrinologist for targeted therapy.

I have irregular periods, and my blood report shows that my prolactin level is quite high. My gynecologist has prescribed tablets to help regulate my periods, but I am concerned about the elevated prolactin. Should this be treated separately, and what could be the reason for the high prolactin level?

My blood report is attached. There is a rise in TSH and triglycerides are 230. There is also a lack of iron and vitamin D. I am taking blood pressure and blood thinner medicines. Kindly suggest what should be done?

I recently had a thyroid test, and my results are: TSH: 6 microIU/mL T3: 0.87 ng/mL T4: 5.83 microgram/dL Does this indicate hypothyroidism? Can my TSH, T3, and T4 levels return to normal without taking medication? If so, how many months might it take to achieve this naturally, and what steps should I follow?
