Suggest Remedy To Reduce Weight & Hormonal Problems

I had an abortion about 3 years ago. I gained weight at that time. Ever since the pregnancy I have not lost the weight and have now been diagnosed with an underactive thyroid. I believe I have an inbalance in hormones because I have high prolactin levels. What can I do to loose the weight and balance the horomones? The armor thyroid alone is not working

Hello
welcome to Healthcare magic.
First you don't worry about your problems because they are treatable.
Your weight gain is mainly due to hormonal imbalance.
If your prolactin level is very high, that it is the culprit of your weight gain.
Only thyroid control will not help.
You have to consult your Endocrinologist for reducing prolactin level.
Please also consult for any tumor which also produce more prolactin.
It may be due to stress you are taking in your life.
High prolactin will also affect your periods.
Don't start any exercise or diet program without controlling prolactin, otherwise it will not work.
Hope this will help you a lot.
Thanks for contacting.
Take care...
