How to improve my thyroid levels and low platelet count?

Hi doctor,

I have been taking homeopathy medicine (Thyroidinum) for the past six months for my thyroid issue. I have been suffering from thyroid issues for the past three years since my pregnancy, and the condition is still the same. I always feel heavy, and I am worried about my weight and my blood count. I have a feeling my health is not in good condition. I have been taking Shatavari churan and Lohasava for the past five months. However, today I underwent a laboratory test for my thyroid screening, and the results were not satisfactory. My TSH is high at around 7.65 ng/dL, hemoglobin is low at about 11.4 g/dL, blood glucose is at about 88 mg/dL, and my platelet count is low at 120,000 mcL. I have attached my report for a better understanding.

Kindly suggest me a solution.

What could be the reason for gas, bloating, acidity, a burning sensation in the stomach, and burping despite medications?

Hi doctor,

I am suffering from gas issues, acidity, bloating, a burning sensation in the stomach, and burping. Also, I was diagnosed with H.pylori infection, erosive gastritis, and fatty liver one year back. Previously I was taking allopathy medicine. But currently, I am taking Liv. 52 DS tablets and Acivin syrup.

Kindly suggest me a solution for my stomach issues.

My frequent urge to urinate in the early hours recurred after stopping natural medicines. Please help.

Hi doctor,

I am 36 years old and currently not taking any medication. I have occasional urinal issues. In the middle of last year, a few nights between 4 AM and 6 AM, I feel the urge to urinate even though I stop drinking water at least two to three hours before bed around midnight, and also I go to the toilet just before bed. I sometimes feel that the bladder is not entirely emptied (I guess it is called incontinence). I urinate four to five times a day until going to bed (and usually drink one to one and a half liters of water daily). I have taken some natural medication (plant-based) in the past, and the symptoms subsided, but once I have stopped it for more than one to two months, they came back. The prostate does not hurt, but I certainly feel a slight discomfort but nothing painful that requires attention. The pressure of the urine coming out is generally fine, with some minor decrease. It is annoying to wake up in the middle of the night or early morning to urinate. Should I go back to the plant-based prostate treatment? What do you think about Bangshil, and how should I take it if so? Thank you.
