I'm an unmarried woman dealing with polycystic ovary syndrome and it's really starting to affect my daily life. What are some effective ways to treat the symptoms?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Poly cystic ovaries syndrome in unmarried women can be treated effectively with a combination of lifestyle changes and medication. To manage the symptoms of PCOS, it is important to focus on maintaining a healthy weight through regular exercise and a balanced diet. Additionally, hormonal contraceptives such as Yaz or Yasmin can help regulate menstrual cycles and reduce symptoms like acne and hirsutism. Metformin, a medication commonly used to treat diabetes, can also be prescribed to help with insulin resistance often associated with PCOS. In some cases, spironolactone may be recommended to manage symptoms like acne and excess hair growth. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your individual needs.

I'm really looking to increase my height at 26 years old. At the moment, I'm 5'6" and I'd love to reach around 5'9" or 5'10". I've heard about HGH supplements like L-arginine or L-lysinedo these actually work for someone my age? If not, are there any other supplements you might recommend for height growth? I stay active with yoga, running, stretching, and jumping. Would love your advice!
Unfortunately, at the age of 26, your growth plates have likely fused, making it very difficult to increase height through supplements or exercises. HGH supplements like l-arginine or l-lysine may not significantly impact your height at this stage. However, you can consider taking calcium and vitamin D supplements to maintain bone health. Additionally, a balanced diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals can support overall health and potentially optimize your height potential.

I'm dealing with an underactive thyroid and my levels are at 7.98. Is this a big issue when it comes to getting pregnant? I'm really hoping to conceive and wondering if injections could be a solution. What do you think?
Having an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) with a TSH level of 7.98 can affect fertility and conception, as thyroid hormones play a crucial role in regulating menstrual cycles and ovulation; to conceive, consider the following steps: consult an endocrinologist to optimize your thyroid medication and achieve a normal TSH range (0.4-4.5); simultaneously, consult a fertility specialist or gynecologist to discuss potential fertility treatments,
