View allI'm really worried because my height hasn't increased at all since I was in 7th grade, and now I'm already 17 years old. Is there anything I can do about this? Any advice would be really appreciated.
In summary, if your growth plates are still open, there may still be some opportunity for growth. However, if they are closed, height growth is likely to stop. Focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, getting good nutrition, staying active, and keeping your posture good. If you're still concerned, consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation of your growth potential.

I'm a 21-year-old woman and I've been struggling with PCOS symptoms like period acne and hair thinning. I took meds for a few months to help with my menstruation, and right now I'm using minoxidil 5% mintop eva for hair loss. I've noticed some new hair growth on my scalp, which is great but also more hair on my face, which is freaking me out a bit since I already had some facial hair. I'm not sure if this is from using minoxidil or just my PCOS acting up. My doctor is away for a few weeks and I don't know whether to stop using minoxidil or what to do. Any advice on this? I'm really confused about what's causing the facial hair growth and how to manage it without losing the hair on my head.
It is possible that the increased hair growth on your face is due to the use of minoxidil, as it can sometimes cause hair growth in unintended areas. However, it could also be related to your PCOS, as hormonal imbalances associated with PCOS can lead to hirsutism (excessive hair growth). Since you are already seeing positive results on your scalp with minoxidil, it may be beneficial to continue using it for your hair loss. To address the facial hair growth, you may consider talking to your doctor about adjusting the dosage or frequency of minoxidil application. Additionally, treatments such as anti-androgen medications or topical creams like eflornithine can help manage unwanted facial hair growth in women with PCOS. It's important to discuss these options with your doctor once they are available.

I've been dealing with some health issues lately and I'm really worried. I've been masturbating for 56 years, but now I feel super weak, and it feels like things get worse whenever I do it. I'm experiencing weakness, hair fall, joint pains, and sometimes I feel so weak that I can't even lift anything or walk properly. I've tried ayurvedic treatments and seen many general physicians, but nothing seems to help. They all say it's not because of masturbation, but I can't help but notice my symptoms worsen afterwards. I've had tests like uric acid, vitamin D, calcium, and vitamin B12 done, and everything came back normal. I'm not sure what to do next.
take protein rich food and avoid to much masturbation
