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:
- Hormonal regulation: Ovral G contains estrogen and progestin, which help regulate hormonal imbalances associated with PCOS.
- Inducing menstruation: Ovral G is often prescribed to induce menstruation in women with PCOS who experience irregular periods.
- 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:
- Maintaining hormonal balance: Taking Ovral G at the same time daily helps maintain a consistent hormonal balance in the body.
- Regulating menstrual cycle: Consistent timing helps regulate the menstrual cycle and induce menstruation.
HCG Shot and Duphaston:
- Ovulation induction: The HCG shot (10,000 IU) was likely administered to induce ovulation.
- Luteal phase support: Duphaston (a progestin) was probably prescribed to support the luteal phase and prepare the uterus for implantation.
Next steps:
- Follow your doctor's instructions: Continue taking Ovral G as directed and attend follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.
- Track your symptoms and cycle: Keep a record of your menstrual cycle, symptoms, and any changes to discuss with your doctor.

View allMy blood calcium levels are high at 12.5 and urine tests also show excess calcium. The sestamibi scan points to the lower right lobe being affected. I'm worried about the surgery will it be done under general or local anesthesia? How long does the procedure usually take and what's the typical hospital stay? Also, which surgical method works best for this condition?
For high blood calcium caused by an overactive parathyroid gland, surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia, with the procedure taking around 1-2 hours, and a hospital stay of usually one night. Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy is the preferred surgical method for most cases.

I'm 17 and only about 5 feet tall. I'm worried if it's too late for me to grow taller. Could you suggest any specific diet or exercises that might help? Is there anything else I should be doing to maybe give my growth a boost?
Increasing height at 17 can be challenging as growth plates may have closed. However, maintaining a balanced diet rich in proteins, calcium, vitamin D, and other essential nutrients can support overall health and potentially optimize height. Incorporate foods like dairy products, eggs, lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Regular exercise, especially stretching and strength training exercises, can help improve posture and may have a positive impact on your height. Activities like swimming, cycling, yoga, and Pilates can also be beneficial. Additionally, ensuring proper sleep, staying hydrated, and avoiding habits like smoking and excessive caffeine intake are important for overall health and potential growth optimization.
