I'm really worried because my height hasn't increased at all since I was in 7th grade, and now I'm already 17 years old. Is there anything I can do about this? Any advice would be really appreciated.

In summary, if your growth plates are still open, there may still be some opportunity for growth. However, if they are closed, height growth is likely to stop. Focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, getting good nutrition, staying active, and keeping your posture good. If you're still concerned, consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation of your growth potential.

So I had an iui done on September 21st, and my doctor told me to take susten 200 day and night for 3 weeks. Recently, I've been having some stomach or leg pain like my period might be starting, and then I took a pregnancy test today, but it was negative. Does this mean my iui didn't work? Should I stop taking susten or keep going? Just feeling a bit confused about what to do next.

I'm really concerned about my mom's health. About a year ago, she had some breathing issues, so we went to the nearby hospital. The doctors ran a bunch of heart-related tests like an ECG and a 2D echo, but everything came back normal. Then they discovered she has hypothyroidism and prescribed some medication for that. They also recommended she take Prolomet XL 50 mg. I'm just wondering, is it really necessary for her to be on that medication too? Can we safely stop giving her the Prolomet XL?

Continue same treatment .Salt restricted diet and diet changes ,regular aerobic exercises is recommended..

I've been drinking glucose water about three or four times a day, and I'm wondering if that's okay or if I should cut back. Could the increased sugar levels be harmful in any way? Are there any side effects to having glucose water more than once a day?

Unless there is an indictaion why to consume glucose water frequently,no need to take it in such manner,consume balanced diet and maintain healthy life style that would be enough
