Thirst is normally just the brain's way of warning that you're dehydrated because you're not drinking enough fluid. But excessive and persistent thirst (known as polydipsia) could be a sign of an underlying problem such as diabetes.

I've had uneven breast size since I was young and it's really bothering me. Who should I talk to about this if I don't want surgery? What could be causing this and are there any non-surgical options to help balance them out?

Patching can help in early intermittent exotropia, especially in young children; surgery is reserved if patching fails to improve eye alignment.

I'm 17 and only about 5 feet tall. I'm worried if it's too late for me to grow taller. Could you suggest any specific diet or exercises that might help? Is there anything else I should be doing to maybe give my growth a boost?

Increasing height at 17 can be challenging as growth plates may have closed. However, maintaining a balanced diet rich in proteins, calcium, vitamin D, and other essential nutrients can support overall health and potentially optimize height. Incorporate foods like dairy products, eggs, lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Regular exercise, especially stretching and strength training exercises, can help improve posture and may have a positive impact on your height. Activities like swimming, cycling, yoga, and Pilates can also be beneficial. Additionally, ensuring proper sleep, staying hydrated, and avoiding habits like smoking and excessive caffeine intake are important for overall health and potential growth optimization.
