I've been having some kidney issues and though I'm not sure exactly what's going on, my doctor mentioned theres a problem. I'm thinking about adding flax seeds to my diet. Are they safe for anyone dealing with kidney problems? I'm really curious to know more.

Your symptoms suggest Phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract.
Consult a urologist or dermatologist for proper evaluation and diagnosis.
Treatment options may include topical steroid creams, manual stretching exercises, or surgical procedures.
Your doctor will recommend the best course of treatment based on the severity of your condition.
In the meantime, avoid forcing the foreskin back, as this can cause further irritation and pain.
Seek medical attention to alleviate your symptoms and prevent potential complications.

I'm dealing with CKD and my creatinine levels have gone up from 2.4 to 2.8 recently. I'm really worried about what this means and what I can do to manage it. Plus, for the past few days, I've been having this really annoying itching all over my body. It's driving me nuts. Do you have any ideas on what's going on or what might help? I'm really looking for some advice.
Height is largely determined by genetics, but lifestyle factors can influence growth during adolescence and early adulthood. To promote natural growth: 1. *Proper Nutrition*: Ensure adequate calcium, vitamin D, and protein intake. 2. *Exercise Regularly*: Engage in activities that promote growth, such as swimming, cycling, and stretching. 3. *Maintain Good Posture*: Proper posture can make you appear taller. 4. *Get Enough Sleep*: Adequate sleep (7-9 hours) helps regulate growth hormones. 5. *Manage Stress*: High stress levels can negatively impact growth. Consider consulting a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian to create a personalized growth-promoting plan. Keep in mind that after a certain age (usually around 18-25), growth plates close, and significant height increases are unlikely.
