very good afternoon doctors! this is an endocrinology question. my tsh two days apart was 0.32 and 0.38, respectively. my prolactin was 22.2. my endocrinologist wants me to have both a thyroid sonogram and an mri. my question is from what i have reea?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, the results you provide are normal for TSH and depending on your sex near normal for prolactin.

Question 4

hi there!
i was diagnose of lyphoma 3 weeks ago.my doctor arranged an mri for me.
my question is - is lyphoma cancerous?
my doctor didn't explain.

Accepted Answer

YES: All lymphomas are cancers of blood lymphocytes.  There are many types of lymphomas, Jennifer, some very slow to progress but some are also quite aggressive, so ask your doctor what type since some may not require immediate treatment but others  need urgency. Staging your lymphoma is needed for proper treatment,  such as MRI, and those that are localized usually fare well. An omcologist is a must..

Question 5

orthopedic/radiology question: an mri report notes severe stenosis at l5-s1 but there are minimal physical symtoms as a result. can you explain why?

Accepted Answer

Treat the patient: In all medicine, always treat the patient, not the imaging study or laboratory results.  If you do not have any symptoms, the stenosis likely is not clinically significant.  Always seek the medical attention of a local provider.

Question 6

hi i have a question i had a mri done and they  found a cyst in my pituitary  i was wondering how they treat it  it is 5mm  x 2  in size , ?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If it doesn't affect you (your hormone levels etc) then you don't need to do anything.  If treatment is needed, you will be referred to a neurosurgeon.
