Is lemon good for hyperthyroidism?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Yes. Lemon blocks the antibodies that stimulate the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormone, hence normalizing an overactive thyroid.

I'm 18 and my height's stuck at 5.3 feet. I really want to hit 5.7 feet. I'm eating right and exercising regularly, but still not seeing any changes. Could you help me out with some advice on how to increase my height? Are there any medicines that can actually help with growing taller?

At the age of 18, the growth plates in your bones may have already fused, limiting the potential for further height growth. However, if you are still looking to explore options, you can consider taking Growth Factor Plus. It is a supplement that contains a blend of growth factors and amino acids to support bone and cartilage growth. The recommended dosage is 2 capsules daily with food. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, and protein, along with regular exercise, can also support overall bone health.

I've been diagnosed with multi nodular goiter benign enlarged thyroid lobes with multiple solid and cystic nodules. The report mentions hypo to isoechoic nodules of varying sizes and some cystic changes, but no calcification or abnormal vascularity. The largest nodule on the right is 1.5x1.4 cm, and the left lobe has a large cystic component measuring 1.9x1.5 cm with internal fine echoes. No significant lymph nodes or issues with parotids or carotids were noted. Should I consider surgery for this or is monitoring enough?

Most benign goiters are monitored with annual ultrasound and thyroid function tests. Surgery is only needed if there are compressive symptoms, cosmetic concerns, or malignancy suspicion.
