I'm 19 and a half years old and I'm about 5 feet 7 inches tall. I'm really curious about any potential height growth I could expect by the time I'm 21, especially with exercise and a proper diet. I've heard some people talk about doing setups while sticking to a cart leg - is that something that's good or bad for height growth? Also, I've been told that I might only gain about half an inch to maybe 2 inches, but that's rare. Is there any truth to that? I just want to know what I can realistically expect.

View allI'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.

How can I tell if the fat on my chest is gynecomastia or just regular fat? Are there any non-surgical treatments to reduce it?
To tell the difference between gynecomastia and chest fat, consider the feel of the tissue. Gynecomastia involves firm, rubbery tissue, often with a distinct lump beneath the nipple, while chest fat feels soft and squishy, like fat in other areas of the body. If you're unsure, a doctor can perform a physical exam and potentially order imaging tests to help determine the cause,

I'm looking for a doctor who can help me with the complications I've been facing due to using anabolic steroids. I also need guidance on how to manage things during and after my steroid cycles. Can someone with experience in these areas provide some advice? I'm really quite concerned about this and just want to make sure I'm handling everything properly.
Find a Specialist: You can search for these specialists through referrals, health networks, or direct consultations at your local hospital or private clinics. Test Your Health: Make sure you get baseline tests done before starting or after finishing a cycle, such as hormone panels, liver and kidney function tests, and cardiovascular screenings. Regular Follow-Ups: If you have already been on steroids for some time, regular follow-ups with these specialists are critical to prevent long-term complications.
