I'm 21 years old and stand 5'1". I've heard about speed height capsules and ashwagandha powder. Are there any medicines or supplements out there that can actually help in increasing height? I'm really curious if these options work or if there are others I should consider.

Delayed periods can be concerning.
Before considering any medication, consult a gynecologist to rule out underlying causes, such as:
- Pregnancy
- Hormonal imbalances
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Thyroid issues
If your doctor recommends inducing periods, they may prescribe:
- Medroxyprogesterone acetate (Provera): A progesterone hormone to regulate menstrual cycles.
- Norethisterone (Primolut-N): A synthetic progesterone to induce periods.
Avoid self-medicating, as this can lead to:
- Unintended side effects
- Interactions with other medications
- Masking underlying conditions
Consult your gynecologist for personalized guidance and treatment.

View allI'm dealing with high blood pressure and hypothyroidism since 2016. I've been taking Thyronorm 75 and Amcard 5mg twice a day. I just got my TSH levels tested and it's around 6.8. My doctor recommended upping my Thyronorm to 100mcg and switching to Tazloc AM once a day for my blood pressure. Is Tazloc AM actually safe, and can I really switch to it instead of sticking with Amcard? I've been feeling pretty okay with Amcard 5 twice daily and my blood pressure seems well-managed with it.
Tazloc AM is a combination medication containing Telmisartan and Amlodipine, which are commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) and Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. It is generally safe to use, but it is important to follow your doctor's advice when switching medications. If you are comfortable with Amcard 5mg twice a day and have good control over your blood pressure, you can discuss with your doctor about continuing with Amcard instead of switching to Tazloc AM. However, it is important to follow your doctor's recommendation for the best management of your high blood pressure. Regarding your thyroid medication, increasing Thyronorm from 75mcg to 100mcg as per your doctor's advice is aimed at better control of your hypothyroidism, especially with a TSH level of 6.8. It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the dosage adjustment for optimal management of your hypothyroidism.

Is there any way to treat gynecomastia without surgery? I've been doing exercises but they don't seem to help at all. Can it go away on its own or do I need medical intervention?
Yes, there are non-surgical treatments for gynecomastia, and exercise alone may not be enough to significantly reduce breast tissue. While exercise can help reduce overall body fat and build chest muscles, it might not address the glandular tissue itself. Medications, hormone therapy, and procedures like cryolipolysis or ultrasound therapy can also be effective. Some cases of gynecomastia, especially those caused by hormonal imbalances or puberty, may also resolve on their own over time
