I just got my blood test results back, and I'm a little concerned about a few things. My vitamin D level is 12.21 ngml, vitamin B12 is at 176 pgml, and uric acid is 7.6 mgdL. On top of that, my TSH is 9.06. Should I be worried about these levels? What do they indicate, and do I need to make any changes to my diet or lifestyle? Would appreciate any advice you can give!

I'm dealing with something called polycystic and I'm not exactly sure what that means. Could you give me some advice on what exercises or foods might help with this condition? I'm really looking for some guidance here.

Consult a doctor or urologist for proper guidance. They may recommend: 1. Topical creams or ointments to loosen the foreskin. 2. Gradual stretching exercises. 3. Preputioplasty (a minor surgical procedure). 4. Circumcision (as a last resort). Avoid forcing the foreskin back, as it can cause further injury and scarring.

I've been taking Letrozole and CCQ as part of my cycle monitoring, and recently had a few hcg injections because my follicles weren't rupturing as expected. They finally ruptured on the 15th day. Then I took Duphaston from the 15th to the 25th day, but now it's Day 31 and I still haven't gotten my period. Is there a chance I could be pregnant this time? On my last cycle, I had no follicles and took Duphaston from the 19th day, getting my period on Day 33. What do you think?

I'm 19 and 5'5 is there any way I can still grow taller even a little without surgery? I don't mind if it's tough or takes time, I just want to know if it's possible at my age

While significant height increase after 19 is unlikely due to growth plate closure, some strategies can help you appear taller and potentially gain a small amount of height. Focusing on posture, diet, and exercise can contribute to overall well-being and potentially maximize your height potential.
