Liver kidneys, iron ferritin serum transferrin and hair loss
Can anyone help me understand my blood tests. A private dermatologist recently took some bloods after prescribing finasteride. I took the drug four months and discontinued as it shrunk my hair follicles. My scalp now looks dramatically worse, thanks to this drug. It didn't increase hair loss but didn't

Vasectomy complications with AMN?
Hello all, My wife and I just had our second child a month ago. We both agree we only want two children, so I have been planning to get a vasectomy to avoid future pregnancies. Today I met with a vasectomy specialist, and during our consultation, we had a long conversation about concerns with AMN. Because

Liver Enlarged, Lymphatic system inflamed, Arm Pit Swollen, Dr(dr #3) says "Not a clue"
Hello all, I've been chugging away at dr's visits with primary care, internal medicine and awaiting a second opinion from a new gastro/hepatologist for the past 6 months. I am here requesting professional and/or informed opinions as to what may be associated and what may be causing my symptoms.

How do I interpret my Iron test results?
I just want to go back to basics and figure out for myself what the results of my blood tests mean? Can my good friends help? It's all Greek to me. Here we go: Serum iron level: 13 umol/L [5.0 - 33.0] . Serum transferrin level: 2.61 g/L [1.9 - 3.75]. Serum TIBC 59 umol/L [36.0 - 77.0]. Saturation

High TPOab, High Ferritin and High Cortisol
Recent Results TSH: 4.99mlU/L ( 0.24 - 4.2) was 2.72 mlU/L in October 2020 ( I have been supplementing with Iodine for the last 12 weeks plus Zinc, Selenium, Vit E and NAC ) Have read to expect TSH to rise for a period of iodine supplementation, and then it will settle. A bit anxious about this. T4

Can Anyone Tell me About These Blood Test Results?
I have a friend who seems to be exhibiting thyroid trouble. He is lethargic (he is usual active) he has problems sleeping, has dry skin and psoriasis, has difficulty walking, has mood swings etc. Unfortunately, his doctors will not listen to him and have refused in this instance to undertake a FT3 test

Wet dream after circumcision
So I was circumcised, with vasectomy too, last Friday (6 days ago now). Last time I ejaculated was on the Tuesday before - so 8 days ago... last night, despite the sutures and continuing dull pain, I had a huge wet dream! Woke up with the sheets all covered in cum! It’s like being a teenager again

Menopause and Endo
Hi, since having a Caesarean section 24 years ago, I have suffered from painful adhesions. I had 2 laparoscopies in that time, and on both occasions no Endo was found. 4 years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer, had a mastectomy and reconstruction, which meant more surgery on my stomach, more scarring

Next steps after Thyroid Panel + Iron results
Hi all, I have done some tests with Medichecks after GP said no to more tests. They have come back with thyroid antibodies raised, and low ferritin, as I was expecting. The advice from the Medichecks doctors was that everything else seems 'normal', but wanted to check in here, and especially around starting

Stage 4a cancer returned. An update and a question
Hi ladies, About 10 days ago I posted that a recent PET scan showed that cancer has recurred in 3 areas of my peritoneum and I was worried in case I wouldn’t be offered treatment as the recurrence was so son after chemo and avastin. I had many replies that were comforting and reassuring. Thank you for

High Ferritin levels
Hi there, I could do with some advice with results after taking a wellbeing blood test with medichecks. It's safe to say that If this was a MOT I would have failed😵 I have a Hashimotos diagnosis and take 150 Levo and 75 tiromel. These are the results I am particularly concerned about. Total cholesterol

Iron Panel Test Results
Hi, I posted last week as was experiencing severe hair loss for over 6 months and a blood test via the doctors which showed my ferritin to be 24 but the doctor stated that my hair loss wasn't linked to this and I didn't have an iron deficiency. I've now had a full iron panel (as advised on here). Would

Mastectomy

I have a tumour and cancer cells so the surgeon is advising a full mastectomy. I'm trying to make a decision about whether to have
