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.

Hello doctor. This is my ultrasound report of the neck. Please check if it is normal. What is the treatment for this. Do I need any treatment for this. Is this malignant?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have a thyroid condition and am taking medication, which keeps it under control. Lately, I have been experiencing frequent memory problems and difficulty recalling things or speaking clearly. This is affecting me both at work and personally. Could this be related to my thyroid, or should I consult a specialist? Please guide me.
