Question 1

I'm dealing with some pretty heavy and long-lasting bleeding because of my PCOS, and my gynecologist recommended I start taking Diane35 tablets. I'm on my second strip of pills now, and I typically begin with the first tablet in the pack from the fifth day of my period, and then I wait for my cycle to start again once I finish the strip. I've been doing regular walking exercisesabout 45 to 60 minutes, five times a week. But I've noticed that my weight has gone up by 2 kgs in the last two monthsfrom 68 to 70 kgs. My height is 5'4". Could Diane35 be causing this weight gain?

Question 3

I'm really worried after getting my wife's TSH test results. Her T3 is 1.15, T4 is 77.2, and TSH is 42.14. But the weird thing is, she doesn't show any obvious symptoms other than having an irregular menstrual cycle a couple of times and sometimes be...

Accepted Answer

Your wife may be experiencing subclinical hypothyroidism. This means that while her T3 and T4 levels are within normal range, her TSH level is elevated, indicating that her thyroid gland is not producing enough thyroid hormone. The inflammation you mentioned could be indicative of thyroiditis, which is inflammation of the thyroid gland. To treat subclinical hypothyroidism, the common medication prescribed is Levothyroxine with  dosage adjustments made based on individual response. It is important to follow up with regular blood tests to monitor thyroid function and adjust the dosage as needed. Given that your wife is experiencing symptoms such as tiredness, mood swings, and irregular menstrual cycles, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and treatment plan. While it may not be an emergency, addressing thyroid issues is important for overall health and well-being.
