I've been dealing with irregular periods for about 7 years nowthey only happen every 6 or 7 months. In an ultrasound, they found out I have polycystic ovaries. I'm worried about how this might affect my health and future. Can you help me understand what's going on and what steps I should take?

I'm 31, pretty active, and married, but I've noticed my sexual desire is really low. Honestly, if I'm not pushed, I could go without even thinking about sex. It's starting to get to me mentally, and with plans to start a family soon, I'm a bit worried. What should I do about this lack of interest?

Your symptoms are complex and multifaceted. It's great that you're seeking further evaluation. ENT specialists can help diagnose issues related to: - Ear pain and clogged sensations - Sinus and throat issues However, neuralgia or nerve issues might be better evaluated by: - A neurologist (for trigeminal neuralgia) - An oromaxillofacial specialist (for TMJ disorders) Consider asking your ENT specialist for a referral to one of these specialists. Before your appointment: - Keep a detailed symptom journal - Write down all your symptoms and when they occur - Share this information with your ENT specialist

I'm a 27-year-old girl, and my height is around 5 inches. I'm really wondering if it's possible to increase my height at this point. Could you let me know if there are any options or methods available for someone my age to grow taller?

once you're done growing, that's pretty much it. Men grow height-wise until 21 years old, although depending on the person they may experience slight changes until 25. For someone in their later twenties, you're already not producing the regul ar pulsatile bursts of growth hormone needed to stimulate longitudinal growth, but even if an exogenous source was provided, the growth region of the bone known as the epiphyseal plate has already shut down, so you'd only grow laterally.....
