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 a bit concerned because I had an ultrasound, and it showed a 0.3 CM nodule in my thyroid. The doctor mentioned that I don't need a biopsy, but I'm wondering if I should consider getting a second opinion. What do you think?

If Your Thyroid levels are normal and you have no symptoms, repeat USG after 3 months and consult general surgeon for appropriate treatment
