I accidentally took some medicine meant for acidity issues, but I realized afterward that it expired about three years ago. Should I be worried about any side effects or problems because of this?

Microfacture Surgery and Height Increase*
- Microfacture surgery: This procedure is typically used to repair cartilage defects, not to increase height.
- Shin bone (tibia) lengthening: This is a separate surgical procedure, often performed using external fixation devices or internal lengthening nails.
- Height increase: The amount of height increase achievable through surgery varies depending on individual factors, such as bone health, age, and overall health.
Timeline for 1 cm Height Increase
The timeline for a 1 cm height increase through surgery can vary significantly. Here are some general guidelines:
- Pre-surgical preparation: 1-3 months
- Surgery and initial recovery: 2-6 months
- Lengthening process: 2-6 months (depending on the method used)
- Consolidation and rehabilitation: 6-12 months
Please note that these timeframes are approximate and can vary depending on individual circumstances.

View allI'm a 30-year-old woman and just recently had a baby. I had my LFT done, and my sgot level is 28, sgpt is 57, and ggt is 122. Should I be worried about this? What can I do to lower my sgpt and ggt levels?
Hello! Your SGOT and SGPT levels are within a manageable range, but GGT is elevated, which might indicate liver strain. Since you recently delivered, this could be related to postpartum changes or medications. Focus on a balanced diet, avoid alcohol, stay hydrated, and consult your doctor for tailored advice. Take care!

I've been dealing with GERD for 21 years and take pantoprazole DSR every morning. Even after lifestyle changes, I still get reflux. Would surgery be a permanent solution for this or are there other options I should consider?
While surgery, like Nissen fundoplication, can significantly improve or even eliminate GERD symptoms, it's not a guaranteed permanent cure and is typically considered a last resort after other treatments have failed. Other options, including medication adjustments, additional testing, and even exploring alternative therapies, should be considered before surgery.
