Can I get pregnant with hypothyroidism and irregular periods?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) are known to prevent ovulation, the monthly process in which an egg is released to be fertilized. If no egg is released, you can't get pregnant, even if you're having regular menstrual periods.

View allCan you tell me if there's a chance I'll grow taller after turning 16? I stopped playing sports and doing physical activities for the past couple of years. I'm really curious and a bit worried about it.
After 16, significant height increase is unlikely, as the growth plates in your bones typically fuse by age 14-16 in girls and 16-18 in boys; however, some studies suggest that certain exercises, like hanging, swimming, or yoga, may help stretch and align your spine, potentially leading to a small, temporary increase in height (up to 1-2 inches), but this is not a guaranteed or permanent increase.

Why is blood glucose elevated after exercise in a diabetic?
Strenous exercises such as weightlifting, sprints and competitive sports cause you to produce stress hormones (such as adrenaline). Adrenaline raises blood glucose levels by stimulating your liver to release glucose which is needed for the muscles during work outs.
