You have not mentioned thyroid profile report. If hypothyroid or hyperthyroid treat accordingly. If thyroid profile normal then wait for some time it will become normal as it has reduced by more than 50% in few months post delivery.

Histiocytosis does need treatment with steroids. But that usually doesn't have to be this long. And you are right. Steroids do have their own side effects. In this situation, it is important to know what type of histiocytosis she was suffering from, what was the initial therapy and what was the response assessment. Do get in touch with a hematologist and he/she will be able to guide you through. Thanks though for asking, for it is high time that she gets off the steroids.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Thyromegaly tends to occur due to either iodine deficiency or due to other causes like thyrotoxicosis and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. If pressure symptoms are there then surgery is the only option to relieve those. It would have been better if you had mentioned actual T3, T4 & TSH values. Also it is better to check Anti-TPO antibodies. Cost of surgery the specific hospital will only be able to give. Thanks. Thanks.

Dear Lybrateuser, - Your homocysteine level is on the higher side, it may be due to low vit B12 level
- for B12 & vit D deficiency take food rich in these vitamins, also vit d can be obtained by exposure to sunlight for 10-15 min
- increased homocysteine level is an indicator of cardiovascular & cerebrovascular disease in future, it can be treated with folate, vit B6 & vit B12.
