My aunt is 43 years old and has been diagnosed with a thyroid nodule. Is surgery the only way to treat it? I was considering consulting a homeopath, can homeopathy help cure the nodule without surgery? Are there any naturopathy treatments or home remedies that can help remove it?

Thyroid nodules are common and are not always dangerous. Surgery is not always needed unless the nodule is cancerous, large, or causing symptoms like difficulty swallowing. Most nodules are managed by monitoring with regular scans. Homeopathy or naturopathy does not have proven evidence to shrink thyroid nodules. It is best to consult an endocrinologist for guidance. You can book a Thyroid Profile and FNAC (needle test) of the nodule to check its nature before deciding treatment.

Take a Thyroid Profile (T3 T4 TSH) Test Test or Take a THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES (ANTI MICROSOMAL ANTIBODIES) Test

I am experiencing pain during sexual intercourse. I have been tested for infections and had blood tests, but everything came back normal. What could be causing this, and what should I do next?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi Sir, for the past one month I have been feeling very hot all over my body, but my thermometer shows a normal temperature. I have done all the necessary blood tests with a trusted doctor, but no solution was found. I have been taking antibiotics for the past month, but the doctor advised me to stop due to side effects. About six months ago, I had the same problem, and at that time the same doctor prescribed antibiotics as nothing abnormal was found in the blood report. Please advise what I should do now and which type of doctor I should consult?
