Suggest Treatment For Excess Weight Gain And Severe Constipation

Hello Doctor, I am a 31 yo female suffering with increasing weight gain, which I am not able to reduce with diet and exercise. I have modified my diet by doing portion control. I also have a history of hypothyroidism and on medication Thyronorm 125 mcg. I also suffer with severe constipation and gas bloating. I had an anal fissure surgery a year back and a C-section 8 years back. My current weight is 84 kg and my height is 5 4 . I want to achieve my ideal BMI that is at least 60-65 kg. Please suggest me how to reduce my weight and I also feel I suffer from hypometabolism.

Hi...Can understand your concern.As per your query the symptoms like weight gain and constipation are due hypothyroidism..No need to worry as you are having deficiency of thyroid hormone (T3,T4and TSH)it will take some time to get your thyroid level normalised and symptoms will subside.Till then for constipation use cremaffin syrup...Include sea foods in your diet which have good amount of iodine.Your complain of hypometabolism is also due to thyroid deficiency...If you are not still feeling well you should consult your physician about adjustment of dosage or change in medicines...I hope the information helps you.Take care.
