I'm a 17-year-old guy and I'm really concerned because my left nipple is totally normal, but my right one is really big, like even bigger than some women's. I'm not sure what to do about it. Can you give me some advice?

I'm really concerned about my wife's recent thyroid test results. Her T3 is 83, T4 is 3.8, and TSH is 57.57. What are the treatment options for a high TSH level like this?
The lab results indicate that your wife's Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) level is elevated, suggesting hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid). Here are the common treatments for high TSH levels: *Medications* 1. *Levothyroxine (T4)*: Synthetic T4 hormone replacement medication, such as Synthroid, Levoxyl, or Tirosint. 2. *Liothyronine (T3)*: Synthetic T3 hormone replacement medication, often used in combination with T4. *Treatment Goals* 1. *Normalize TSH levels*: Aim for a TSH level between 0.5 and 5.0 UmL. 2. *Relieve symptoms*: Improve energy levels, mood, and overall well-being. 3. *Prevent long-term complications*: Reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and other hypothyroidism-related complications. *Lifestyle Changes* 1. *Dietary modifications*: Ensure adequate iodine intake through foods like seafood, dairy, and iodized salt. 2. *Regular exercise*: Encourage regular physical activity to improve overall health and well-being. 3. *Stress management*: Practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. *Follow-up* 1. *Regular blood tests*: Monitor TSH, T4, and T3 levels every 6-8 weeks to adjust medication dosages as needed. 2. *Adjust medication*: Work with your doctor to find the optimal medication dosage and combination to achieve normal TSH levels.

I'm 19 and 5'5 is there any way I can still grow taller even a little without surgery? I don't mind if it's tough or takes time, I just want to know if it's possible at my age
While significant height increase after 19 is unlikely due to growth plate closure, some strategies can help you appear taller and potentially gain a small amount of height. Focusing on posture, diet, and exercise can contribute to overall well-being and potentially maximize your height potential.
