Hello Madam

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I can certainly understand your concern.

I worked through your query in detail.

Surgery on the body is a kind of catabolic stress that us imposed, during which there can be wide fluctuations in the blood hormonal levels.

This can persist for few months and will eventually subside by itself.

These fluctuations can manifest as rapid changes in weight gain and hair growth in majority if cases.

Dietary interventions are the predominant methods required for a faster recovery.

High protein intake daily through foods like Soy, Eggs and fruits like Pomegranate and Apple are required fir a speedy recovery.

It's advisable to get serum levels of Thyroid hormones to be tested.

Sometimes low levels of Thyroid hormones like T3 and T4 can be precipitated with surgical stress.Hence it becomes mandatory to correct these imbalances.

In case of detected underfunctioning of Thyroid, it's advisable to supplement the hormones externally for atleast 6 months to one year.

At the same time, I advise you to get blood hemoglobin tested, whose deficiency can sometimes coexist with thyroid disorder.

Meanwhile, I prescribe oral pills of CONVIRON FORTE and XTRAGLOW(which contains Biotin vitamin- that directly helps in hair growth).

Mimivie, that your doctor prescribed is an excellent drug for resolving the hot flushes and sleep disturbances post hysterectomy.I advise you to continue with the same.

Based on thyroid profile, low doses of Thyroid can be started after discussing with your Endocrinologist.

A short physical activity in the form of brisk walk for 20 min is advisable on atleast 5 days a week in order to reduce the weight and improve the hormonal profile.

Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe these pills to you.

Kindly update me with your health status in the due course via a periodical online follow up.

Post your further questions if any.
Thank you.
