I'm a bit concerned because after taking Dulcoflex tablets, I've noticed that I'm urinating a lot more throughout the day and I'm also experiencing some weight loss. Could you help me figure out what's going on and suggest an alternative or a better approach?

I recommend you stop taking it. Instead, you can try using Senokot tablets. Take 1-2 tablets at bedtime as needed for constipation. Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day. If you continue to experience high urine output and weight loss, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm trying to understand the difference between TSH and TSH ultrasensitive tests. How do they differ, and is one considered better than the other? It's a bit confusing to me.

TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) and TSH Ultra-Sensitive are both blood tests that measure thyroid function, but the key difference lies in their sensitivity: TSH measures TSH levels above 0.5-1.0 mUL, while TSH Ultra-Sensitive measures levels as low as 0.01-0.05 mUL, making it more sensitive in detecting subtle thyroid function abnormalities, especially in cases of hyperthyroidism or thyroiditis, so the Ultra-Sensitive test is generally considered better for diagnosing and monitoring thyroid conditions.
