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.

View allI'm concerned about my TSH level, which is 18.24. Is this considered dangerous? What does it say about the state of my thyroid? I've already done tests like T3, T4, and checked for anti-thyroid antibodies. Could you give me some advice on how to manage or control this?
A TSH level of 18.24 suggests hypothyroidism, which means your thyroid is underactive and not producing enough hormones. It's good that you've undergone comprehensive tests, including T3, T4, and anti-thyroid antibodies, to assess the cause. Treatment typically involves thyroid hormone replacement therapy, and I recommend consulting your healthcare provider for a tailored treatment plan to bring your levels into balance.

My FNAC test showed papillary carcinoma of the thyroid with metastasis. Is surgery the only treatment option available? What precautions should I take until the surgery is done?
Surgery (thyroidectomy) is the first-line treatment for papillary thyroid carcinoma with metastasis; avoid neck trauma or strain and follow up regularly until surgery.

I'm on day 4 of my cycle and my doctor started me on Siphene 50mg because I had irregular egg sizes last month. Ive been taking it since day 2, but I noticed my period unexpectedly stopped around 3.5 days. Usually, it lasts at least 5 days. Could Siphene be the reason my bleeding stopped earlier this time? Id really like to understand what's going on.
Siphene may have caused a shorter or lighter period in your case, which can sometimes happen as a result of hormonal changes or adjustments. Its not typically known to stop menstrual bleeding altogether, but it can influence the menstrual cycle. If you're concerned, its best to check with your doctor, who may want to monitor your endometrial lining and overall response to the medication.
