View allI'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 52 and pretty short compared to the rest of my tall family, except for my dad's mom. I'm wondering if there are natural ways to increase my height without resorting to unnecessary medicines, or if it's just in my genes. Any advice?
For fungal infections, Candid B cream is usually preferred over dusting powder for its moisturizing and soothing properties. However, Candid dusting powder can be used in certain situations: *When to use Candid dusting powder:* 1. *Excessive sweating*: Powder can help keep the area dry. 2. *Intertrigo*: Powder can help reduce friction and moisture. *Alternatives:* 1. *Clotrimazole cream*: An antifungal cream that can be used as an alternative. 2. *Miconazole powder*: Another antifungal powder option. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist before switching or using alternative treatments.

I have thyroid nodules in both lobes - one is 4x4 mm and the other is 1x1 mm on the right side. The FNAC report suggests excision biopsy for possible papillary carcinoma, but my thyroid is enlarged with normal T3/T4 and TSH at 5.02 which is almost at the upper limit. Is thyroidectomy absolutely necessary or are there other treatment options to shrink these nodules without surgery?
thyroidectomy (thyroid removal surgery) may be necessary for larger or suspicious nodules, especially if the FNAC report suggests possible papillary carcinoma, other treatment options, such as watchful waiting, thyroid hormone therapy, or radiofrequency ablation (RFA), are available to shrink or manage thyroid nodules. The decision of whether to proceed with thyroidectomy or other treatments will depend on the size, nature, and suspiciousness of the nodules, as well as the patient's overall health and preferences.
