My mom has been struggling with thyroid issues and her doctors are recommending surgery. I'm really worried is surgery absolutely necessary in her case? How long might the recovery take if she goes through with it? Also, could you share some dos and don'ts she should follow right now to manage her condition better?
Thyroid surgery is needed for large goiters or cancer; recovery takes 2–3 weeks—follow meds, rest, and avoid strain.

I'm a 23-year-old guy, standing at 5'9.5". I'm really interested in knowing if I can still increase my height at this age. Could you give me some advice on this?
Growth plates in the bones of the human body close by the age of 18-21 years (for males). After these growth plates close, it is generally not possible to increase height through natural methods or medical intervention like growth hormone therapy. You may try to improve posture or focus on stretching and yoga in order to increase your perceived height.
