I had two surgeries in the past three months: a partial thyroidectomy and a completion thyroidectomy for hyperthyroidism. During the first surgery, I lost 600 cc of blood, and I am now anemic with low hemoglobin (10.1) and other related low levels. Is this anemia due to the surgeries, and should I be taking supplements? Also, after the surgeries, I had to stop thyroid replacement and go back on methimazole because my free T4 level became very high, and I was exhibiting hyperthyroid symptoms. I no longer have a thyroid. When can I expect my hemoglobin to return to normal, and when will my thyroid hormone levels settle down to a hypothyroid state?

I have been experiencing body odor, particularly a fish-like odor, for about two months. I have seen a doctor who found nothing, and I have noticed that my shirts smell bad after wearing them. I used to have bad digestion and often ate pork, goat meat, and fried plantains late at night. I wear good perfume and deodorant, but the odor persists. What could be causing this and how can I address it?

I tested positive for Trichomonas vaginalis and was prescribed three antibiotics for it. At the same time, I was diagnosed with conjunctivitis and given antibiotic eye drops. My eyes have worsened since Wednesday. Are these conditions connected, and what suggestions do you have for managing them?

I am 41 and have uterine fibroids. My boyfriend mentioned that every time we have sex, there's a sticky, slimy, milky-looking discharge with a strange odor, but I don't smell anything. We've been dating for 7 months, and he says this happens every time. What could this be, and do you have any tips or suggestions?
