I'm a 19-year-old female, and I'm currently 4 feet 8 inches tall. I've been wondering if there's still a chance for me to grow taller, especially since my parents aren't very tall either. I'm really hoping to reach around 5 feet 2 inches. Is it possible for me to increase my height at this age? I've tried drinking ashwagandha powder mixed with milk for 15 days, hoping it might help, but I haven't noticed any changes. What should I do and is there anything else that might work? I'm really curious and would appreciate any advice you can offer.

I'm really worried and need some advice. I've been taking Mext 0.75mg for five days now, and Ive started experiencing more frequent urination, almost like having diabetes. Could this be a side effect of the medication? And if so, what can I do to manage these symptoms?

Exact cause is unknown but most appreciated hypothesis is either low insulin or insulin resistance due to genetic +/- environmental factors. Symptoms and signs include increased thirst, extreme hunger, unexplained weight loss, frequent urination, fatigue, irritability, blurred vision, slow healing wounds, presence of ketones in urine, fruity odour and frequent infections.Treatment is either tablets or insulin to control blood sugar levels along with life style modifications (Diet + exercise).
