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 recently got my full body blood tests back, and while most results seem alright, my Vitamin D level is at 6 and Vitamin B12 is at 160. I don't really have the typical symptoms associated with these deficiencies, but I'm kind of concerned and want to address them. Any advice on what I should do?
For Vitamin D deficiency, you can consider taking Vitamin D supplements such as "Caltrate" or "Nature Made Vitamin D3". For Vitamin B12 deficiency, you can consider taking Vitamin B12 supplements such as "Nature Made Vitamin B12" or "Solgar Methylcobalamin". It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper dosage and duration of supplementation.

I'm really concerned about my journey trying to conceive - it's been 23 months of trying, and I'm getting worried. My periods are regular, and all my blood tests, like TSH and prolactin, have come back normal. The only thing is my blood sugar is in the pre-diabetic range. Now I've found out about this myometrial cyst, and I'm wondering if it could be affecting my ability to conceive. Could this be a reason for the delay, and what should I do about it?
A myometrial cyst is a benign fluid-filled cyst in the muscle layer of the uterus, usually not related to fertility issues. Since your periods are regular and other tests are normal, it's a good sign, but pre-diabetes can affect fertility. It's a good idea to manage your blood sugar levels for better chances of conception.

What is considered rapid weight loss?
Weight loss of five percent of body weight over a period of 6 - 12 months in the absence of trying to loose weight is considered an unexplained weight loss. When this weight loss occurs at a pace of more than half to one kilogram per week then it is considered rapid.
