View allI'm currently undergoing a follicular study, and today is day 13 my right ovary has follicles sized 25x20 and 24x19, while the left has 26x20 and 25x19. The doctor gave me HCG 10,000, and I've started feeling pain. My left tube is disconnected from a past infection and surgery. Is it possible for both ovaries to rupture follicles this cycle, or does only one ovary typically release eggs per cycle? Could both ovaries rupture?
gynaecologist opinion is advised to the patient

my nipples look puffy most of the time but when I take cold showers they appear normal my testosterone levels are fine and I really don't want surgery is there anything else I can do about this
Puffy nipples, especially if they fluctuate with temperature changes and you've ruled out underlying conditions like gynecomastia, are likely related to hormonal fluctuations or temperature sensitivity. If you don't want surgery, you can try lifestyle changes like a healthy diet, targeted exercise, and stress reduction to see if they help minimize puffiness

I'm really curious about Ashwagandha and if it can actually help someone grow taller. Are there any side effects I should be worried about? Also, are there any home therapies you would recommend for increasing height?
Ashwagandha is an herb that is commonly used in traditional medicine for various health benefits, but there is no scientific evidence to support the claim that it can increase a person's height. As for side effects, Ashwagandha is generally considered safe for most people when taken in appropriate doses. However, some people may experience side effects such as upset stomach, diarrhea, and vomiting. There is no proven home therapy to increase height. Height is largely determined by genetics and factors such as nutrition and overall health during childhood and adolescence. If you have concerns about your height, it is best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
