Question 1

I'm 18 and 165 cm, and I'm really hoping to grow taller. I've been doing a lot of exercises but haven't noticed any changes yet. Has my growth stopped, or might I still see some improvement over time? Can any supplements or calcium pills help with this? Please let me know.

PCOS Treatment: Ovral G and HCG Shot

_Ovral G:_

1. _Hormonal regulation_: Ovral G contains estrogen and progestin, which help regulate hormonal imbalances associated with PCOS.
2. _Inducing menstruation_: Ovral G is often prescribed to induce menstruation in women with PCOS who experience irregular periods.
3. _Preparing the uterus_: The medication helps prepare the uterus for a potential pregnancy by thickening the uterine lining.

_Why take Ovral G at the same time every day:_

1. _Maintaining hormonal balance_: Taking Ovral G at the same time daily helps maintain a consistent hormonal balance in the body.
2. _Regulating menstrual cycle_: Consistent timing helps regulate the menstrual cycle and induce menstruation.

_HCG Shot and Duphaston:_

1. _Ovulation induction_: The HCG shot (10,000 IU) was likely administered to induce ovulation.
2. _Luteal phase support_: Duphaston (a progestin) was probably prescribed to support the luteal phase and prepare the uterus for implantation.

_Next steps:_

1. _Follow your doctor's instructions_: Continue taking Ovral G as directed and attend follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.
2. _Track your symptoms and cycle_: Keep a record of your menstrual cycle, symptoms, and any changes to discuss with your doctor.

Question 2

I've had uneven breast size since I was young and it's really bothering me. Who should I talk to about this if I don't want surgery? What could be causing this and are there any non-surgical options to help balance them out?

Accepted Answer

Patching can help in early intermittent exotropia, especially in young children; surgery is reserved if patching fails to improve eye alignment.

Question 3

My father has had type 2 diabetes for 20 years and also had bypass surgery 8 years ago. He's currently on insulin but we found two ayurvedic tablets IME9 and BGR34 from Indian labs. Which one would be safer and more effective for his condition?

Accepted Answer

As a doctor, I would advise caution with IME9 and BGR34, as they are not well-studied in large clinical trials. Since your father has long-standing diabetes and a cardiac history, it's best to continue his current treatment and consult his physician before adding any supplements, as they may interact with existing medications.

If the father is diabetic, then will the son also have diabetes?

Research suggests that having a parent with type 2 diabetes increases your risk of developing the disease by as much as fourfold, and even more if both parents are affected.
