Hello Nandwani Ji,

Your TSH level is low at 0.04, while your T3 and T4 levels are normal. This could indicate that the thyroxine dose you're taking (100 mcg) might be too high. However, adjustments to thyroid medication should only be made after consulting your doctor or endocrinologist. They will consider your symptoms, lab results, and medical history to determine if a dosage change is needed. Self-adjusting your dose could lead to complications.

Hello Sudipta Ji,

We are sorry to hear about your father’s condition. Recovery after an ischemic stroke can take time and often requires a multidisciplinary approach.

1. Consult a neurologist or stroke specialist at a reputed hospital. They may re-evaluate his treatment plan and suggest additional therapies.

2. Stroke patients often require physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy to regain movement, balance, and communication skills. Intensive rehabilitation programs can sometimes help improve outcomes.

3. Focus on his nutrition and hydration and prevent complications like infections, bedsores, or blood clots, which are common in bedridden patients.

We wish him a speedy recovery!

Hello Sabita Ji, 

Feeling uncomfortable while sleeping during pregnancy is quite common, especially as your baby grows and your body undergoes changes. Here are some tips to help you sleep better:

1. Try sleeping on your left side. It improves blood flow to your baby and reduces pressure on your back and organs.

2. For extra comfort, use pillows to support your belly and back. You can also place a pillow between your knees. A U-shaped or C-shaped pregnancy pillow can provide full-body support and help you find a comfortable position.

3. Avoid Lying on Your Back, as sleeping on your back can compress major blood vessels and cause discomfort or dizziness.

4. Drink plenty of water during the day but reduce intake before bedtime to minimize nighttime bathroom trips.

5. Gentle prenatal yoga or stretching can ease muscle tension and improve sleep quality.

6. Avoid eating heavy or spicy meals close to bedtime. Sleep with your upper body slightly elevated to prevent acid reflux.

If you continue feeling uncomfortable or experience persistent pain, insomnia, or any unusual symptoms, consult your obstetrician for personalized advice.

Hello Ramachandran ji,

Black spots on the legs can be caused by various factors, such as hyperpigmentation, skin infections, or poor circulation. It's important to monitor for any accompanying symptoms, such as pain, swelling, or redness.

For general care:

• Keep the area clean and moisturized.
• Apply sunscreen to prevent further pigmentation.
• If the spots persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and specific treatment.

Hello Abhishek ji,

The HRCT report suggests the presence of a loculated left pleural effusion, which is fluid accumulation in the pleural space around the lungs, associated with thickened parietal and visceral pleura on the left side. This is indicative of empyema, a condition where the pleural fluid becomes infected, often following pneumonia or other lung infections. Additionally, fibro-parenchymal strands in the left lower lung suggest previous scarring or fibrosis, possibly from a past infection or inflammation.

Treatment usually involves draining the pleural fluid (via thoracentesis or chest tube) and antibiotic therapy to treat the infection. In some cases, surgical intervention may be needed. It's important to follow up with a pulmonologist or a chest specialist for further evaluation and management, including the potential need for drainage or further imaging.

Hello Rohit Ji,

It sounds like you're experiencing recurrent infections, which can sometimes be associated with diabetes.

If surgery like circumcision is recommended, the cost can be around ₹28,000, but this may vary depending on the procedure technique, whether laser or stapler is used, the hospital & the doctor chosen.

Hello Sanjay Ji,

Based on your son's height of 176 cm and weight of 110 kg, his BMI (Body Mass Index) would be approximately 35.6, which falls in the obese category. Obesity at this age can increase the risk of various health conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, and joint problems, and it’s important to address it early.

Treatment Options:

1. Swallowable Weight Loss Balloon: This non-surgical, temporary treatment involves ingesting a balloon that expands in the stomach to reduce appetite, leading to weight loss. Over 16-20 weeks, patients can expect to lose 10-15% of total body weight.

2. Diet and Lifestyle Changes: In addition to the balloon, adopting a healthy, balanced diet and incorporating regular physical activity is essential for sustainable weight loss and overall health.

Next Steps:

It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best course of action based on your son's specific health needs. At HexaHealth, we provide consultations and support for weight management, including options like the swallowable weight loss balloon.

Hello Ramani Ji,

Fluctuating blood pressure readings like 170/95 and 146/92 are a concern, especially at your age of 67. High blood pressure, even without symptoms, can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other complications.

Recommendations:

1. Keep a record of your BP readings at fixed timings throughout the day for a few days.
2. A medical professional will evaluate the readings, consider your overall health, and suggest lifestyle changes or medications if needed.
3. Limit salt intake, maintain a healthy diet, stay active, and manage stress to help control your BP.

Do not ignore these readings, even in the absence of symptoms, as early intervention is key to preventing complications.

Hello Sailesh Ji,

2. Hormone Therapy: If low testosterone is the cause, hormone replacement therapy may be recommended.

Consulting a specialist is the first step toward finding the most effective treatment for your condition. Feel free to reach out to schedule an appointment.

Hello Yash Ji,

It’s common to feel concerned when experiencing issues with erections after frequent masturbation. Overstimulation can temporarily affect your ability to achieve an erection, as the body and mind may need time to recover.

Suggestions:

1. Give your body some time to rest. Avoid masturbation for a few days to allow recovery.
2. Try to relax and avoid stress.
3. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate sleep can improve sexual health.
4. If the issue persists or if you feel extremely anxious, consult a doctor for guidance.

Hello Dr Anisha,

A fasting blood glucose level of 96 mg/dL during pregnancy is slightly elevated but not alarming. It may indicate that your body is experiencing some difficulty managing blood sugar levels, which can happen during pregnancy. However, since your other glucose tolerance test (GTT) results are normal, this may not necessarily point to gestational diabetes.

What You Can Do:

1. Share the test results with your doctor to determine if any further testing or monitoring is needed.
2. Focus on eating balanced meals with complex carbohydrates, proteins, and fibre to help regulate blood sugar levels.
3. Gentle exercises like walking or prenatal yoga can also improve blood sugar control.

Your doctor may suggest repeating the test later in pregnancy or providing specific recommendations to ensure optimal maternal and fetal health.

Hello Nafeesa Ji,

Your mother’s condition, with cardiomegaly (an enlarged heart), severe breathlessness, and a very low ejection fraction of 20%, indicates advanced heart failure. These symptoms require immediate and comprehensive medical attention.

What You Can Do:

1. Consult a Cardiologist Immediately:

   • A cardiologist can evaluate her condition and adjust medications to improve heart function and manage symptoms.
   • Advanced therapies like cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) or implantable devices (ICDs) might be recommended.

2. Optimize Positioning for Breathing:

   • Propping her up with pillows while lying down can reduce nighttime breathlessness (orthopnea).

3. Focus on Oxygen and Ventilation:

   • If the nebulizer helps, continue using it as prescribed.
   • Discuss supplemental oxygen therapy with her doctor if she experiences severe breathlessness.

4. Dietary and Fluid Management:

   • A low-sodium diet can reduce fluid retention.
   • Monitor fluid intake if advised by her doctor.

5. Emergency Preparedness:

   • If her symptoms worsen, like severe breathlessness, confusion, or chest pain, seek emergency care immediately.

Hello Ahmed Raza Ji,

Most people have completed their growth by age 20, as the growth plates in the bones typically close by this age. If you’re concerned, an endocrinologist can evaluate your growth potential and hormone levels to rule out any issues.
