View allMy mom's been dealing with Hypothyroidism, and we recently discovered that her Anti Thyroglobulin Antibodies are at 230, TSH is 25, and her Phosphorus and Calcium levels are high at 8 and 10.1. Her ECG results are also abnormal, showing T Wave issues, abnormal sinus rhythm, lateral ischemia, and possible left atrial enlargement. Given all of this, should we be worried about this being an emergency or needing angioplasty, especially since she's already got hypothyroidism and kidney problems?

I'm worried about my height. I used to masturbate and noticed my height was increasing, but ever since I stopped, it seems like my growth has stalled. I'm 15 and only 167 cm, but my 13-year-old friends are taller, around 170 cm as measured in school. Is there any chance that this has to do with masturbation, or could it be related to my Adam's apple? I've heard that having an Adam's apple can stop height growth. Can you help me understand what's going on and how I might increase my height?
It's understandable to be concerned about your height, but there is no scientific evidence that masturbation affects height growth. Height is primarily determined by genetics and the growth plates in your bones, which typically close after puberty. The presence of an Adam's apple is a normal part of puberty and does not affect height. Focus on maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and proper sleep to support your growth during this period.

I'm really worried about my mom's health. She's been dealing with diabetic hyperglycemia for about 15 years now, and things seem to have gotten more complicated. Just recently, she had pus in her left kidney because of a urinary infection related to her diabetes. I'm really anxious about whether the treatment she's getting is the right fit for her. What should we be looking out for, and is there anything else we should consider?
