I'm concerned about my mom's health since she has type 2 diabetes and high BP. I'm wondering if it's okay for her to have coconut water and buttermilk every day. She's currently taking Glycomet GP2 for her sugar levels and Listril for her blood pressure. Would these drinks affect her medications or condition in any way?

I've had this sore wound on my back for over 3 years that just won't heal. My homeo doctor recommended minor surgery to remove it, but I'm wondering if there are other treatment options without going under the knife. My blood sugar is around 300 - does that affect the healing? If surgery is really the only way, which specialist should I see for this?

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: 1. Pregnancy 2. Hormonal imbalances 3. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) 4. Thyroid issues If your doctor recommends inducing periods, they may prescribe: 1. _Medroxyprogesterone acetate_ (Provera): A progesterone hormone to regulate menstrual cycles. 2. _Norethisterone_ (Primolut-N): A synthetic progesterone to induce periods. Avoid self-medicating, as this can lead to: 1. Unintended side effects 2. Interactions with other medications 3. Masking underlying conditions Consult your gynecologist for personalized guidance and treatment.
