I am 40, amh is 0.16 (i know it is very low) and we are trying to conceive. Now the doctor has given me thyronorm 50 (tsh was 4) and some vitamin D and some more supplements. Have been taking these since the last 7 to 8 days. I am always very regular on my periods, average cycle length is 27 days. (Only once last year it was 49 days) else im always super regular. I was expecting my periods on 16th May. But no sign of that till now. Has the 7 to 8 days of thyroid medicine put my period off gear or am I pregnant? So when should I do the pregnancy test? Has anyone been through something similar?

Need to visit a gastroenterologist in delhi. prefer private hospital as government hospital appointment will take ages. But how do I filter the good from the bad? md or dnb? junior or senior consultant? its all very confusing. Can the doctors here please advise.

so my mom got tested for vitamin B-12 and iron levels because she had frequent mouth ulcers and burning sensation of the oral cavity while eating (she lost around 5-6 kgs in 2 yrs)

her hb level is at 5.1 g/dl and vitamin b12 level of 153.
REPORT SAYS PERNICIOUS ANAEMIA

the doctor said it's not too severe and gave her B12 injections (to be taken everyday for a week) and some iron tablets, along with some stuff to treat the ulcers and acid reflux.

everywhere in google it says a hb level of 5 is severely anaemic and requires hospitilization, and can even cause death?

im extremely worried, is following the medicine plan for the next month and then checking levels fine? or should we seek a second opinion now itself?

(she's been taking the injections and medicines for 2 days now, and her knee is swollen. Is that just a side effect of the medication? or something we should be concerned about?)

As the title,......19F with pcod (I don't take any hormonal meds), height 5feet 4 inches(162cms) 70kg .I have very important exams coming up really really important hence I ought to work hard but along with my hectic schedule I have to cut down on my sleep for a while

Hence taking MODAFINIL

Is taking this safe for just a few days, I have been consuming 50mg for past 3 days sleeping for 5hrs daily.

Cus of the med or something I don't know about I get minor headache, but that's manageable

Can I continue taking this pill?? Can I increase the frequency of it? If no what are the other ways in which I can reduce my Sleep

I really dont know if this is the place to ask this, but I can't find anywhere else.

For context, I have to get a vaccine soon. I have scars from sh on both upper arms, right where the vaccines are usually put. Idk how well excuses will work bc the scars are many and very raised.

There are two things I'd like to know: first, will doctors care or interfere in any level if they see them? I can't let my parents know at all, and because my mother will be taking me to the hospital, I will have to ask her to leave the room during the vaccination, but I dont think it'll make a difference if they inform her afterwards. I have been told that doctors dont really give a shit because of their lack of time/the number of times they've seen these, but I dont know how true that is in india.

Second thing is, can I get the vaccine on my leg/thigh? I think that's the best way to go, but I know that using the upper arms for vaccines is standard practice, and thighs are used just for children. Do you think doctors will agree if I ask hard enough?

I am an adult and legally no longer dependent on my parent; that should be enough of a reason for them to not interfere, right? What do i say if they ask anyway? And if anyone can tell, will it make a difference if they are naval/military doctors, bc I'll be going to a military hospital for this.

Please help me with this, im desperate, and will do anything to ensure my parents dont get to know about this.

Hello! I am 23F. I have always had very bad body heat issues since growing up ( sensitive skin, skin reacting to eating naturally hot/ warm things like ginger, mango) Every summer it tends to get worse. For the past 2 weeks, I have been waking up between 3.00 am to - 4.30 am. My body especially below my level feels very hot. I get rashes. Everything starts itching. My foot feels especially warm. I get this sensation that someone is poking needles in my feet. This episode goes on for about 1 hr. I put powder, sometimes increase the fan speed, sometimes put my feet in water, and apply coconut oil to my feet. My vagina / thighs get warm and start itching too. I am very confused about what could be the reason for this. My sleep schedule is very messed up because of this. Our regular doctor had asked me to rule out thyroid. I don't have thyroid issues, we got our tests done. My blood reports seem to be normal too. My gynac says it's normal for body heat to go up right before period and ovulation. But I'm not sure why it keeps happening to me almost every night. Im genuinely just scared and tired of waking up late/ not having adequate sleep because of this issue..if someone has faced something similar pls help ur sis out! Thank you so much

My father was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor in the left parietal lobe, and the past few days have been extremely overwhelming for our family. We’re currently consulting multiple neurosurgeons to get second opinions and understand the best path forward, but I also wanted to hear from people who may have gone through something similar.

Some doctors are recommending a biopsy first, while others are suggesting going directly for surgery and doing the biopsy during the procedure itself. We’re trying to understand the different treatment options and types of surgeries available, along with the pros and cons of each approach.

His symptoms started with speech and language related issues such as:

1. forgetting words
2. stuttering/slurred speech
3. forgetting spellings
4. spelling or saying words incorrectly

At the moment, he’s taking:

6. Dexamethasone 8 mg twice daily
7. Levetiracetam 500 mg twice daily

While I found amazing people (they are really amazing and helped me cope with this uncertainty mentally) on this sub from different states and got cost estimates , right now need more inclined towards Hyderabad best neurosurgeons who’s specialisation is on brain tumors. Everyone we know are suggesting doctors who have specialisation on spine but not on brain. I wanted to post this on HYDERABAD sub but couldn’t because I have less karma on Reddit ( as I was always a silent one on this used to find my self on competitive exams subs but this change in life has brought me here and unfortunately for being silent on Reddit costed me by not being able to post on few subs) So anyone who know THE BEST DOCTOR and which HOSPITAL they are from in Hyderabad that would help us a lot.

Hi everyone

Urgently required best suggestions for THE BEST DOCTORS in HYDERABAD Neurosurgeon for brain tumor (not sure if it is tumor or infection or something so need to do biopsy but the tumor is in speech area so the operation must be accurate we cannot afford a trail and error doctors. Need the BEST DOCTOR ) PLEASE HELP with the requirement

Need suggestions

The patient has no other complications due to tumour except for the speech difficulty and one of the doctors we consulted immediate surgery and robotic so need second and third opinions as well.

Even if you have OTHER STATES suggestions are also welcome.

If anyone have questions so if you can suggest accurate doctor , please do ask . But please don’t ignore.

(I know I’m not much active on Reddit hence the less karma but please don’t ignore , it is much required)
