View allI'm 17 and I've been worrying about my height lately. I'm around 5 feet 9 inches, but all my friends seem taller, like around 5ft 10 to 6ft. I kinda stopped getting taller when I was 14. I do lift weights, though nothing too intense. Is there anything I could do to possibly grow a couple more inches? I'd love to hit around 5 feet 11 or even 6 feet. Any advice would be great.
5 ft 9 inches is not an abnormal height for a 17 year old male. You will continue to gain height for a few more years. Train yourself to maintain good posture, eat a healthy diet and try to include more vertical exercises during your workouts such as basketball, hanging bars and yoga. Modify your diet to include multivitamins and minerals to boost your growth hormone levels.

I have gynaecomastia and got conflicting advice my homeopathic doctor says it can be cured with medicine but the cosmetic surgeon insists surgery is the only option. Can homeopathy really reduce male breast tissue and if so how long would it take? I'm getting married in a year and want to know if it's possible without surgery
While homeopathic medicine may be used for gynecomastia, it's crucial to understand that its effectiveness is not scientifically proven and may vary significantly. Surgery is generally considered the most effective and reliable treatment for gynecomastia

I'm a bit confused about my thyroid medication. I've had thyroid issues for the past 3.5 years, which started during pregnancy. I'm on 25 mcg of medication. I recently got my thyroid levels checked, and my results are T3 108, T4 7.96, and TSH 1.31. Should I keep taking the 25 mcg or think about stopping it? I'm just not sure what to do next.
Based on these results, it seems like your thyroid levels are well controlled. I would recommend continuing with the same dosage of 25 mcg of Levothyroxine to maintain your thyroid levels within the normal range. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for regular monitoring and adjustments if needed.
