I've been dealing with irregular periods for about 7 years nowthey only happen every 6 or 7 months. In an ultrasound, they found out I have polycystic ovaries. I'm worried about how this might affect my health and future. Can you help me understand what's going on and what steps I should take?

View allI'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've stopped taking thyronorm for about 15 days now, and I'm wondering if there might be any effects from doing that? Should I start taking it again or maybe get anything checked out first? Would love to hear your thoughts.
Stopping Thyronorm (thyroid medication) for 15 days can lead to hypothyroidism symptoms reappearing, such as fatigue, weight gain, and mood changes; consider restarting the medication as prescribed and scheduling a blood test to check your Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels to ensure they return to normal; consult your doctor for personalized advice.

I'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.
