Question 2

I'm 21 years old and stand 5'1". I've heard about speed height capsules and ashwagandha powder. Are there any medicines or supplements out there that can actually help in increasing height? I'm really curious if these options work or if there are others I should consider.

Accepted Answer

Delayed periods can be concerning.

Before considering any medication, consult a gynecologist to rule out underlying causes, such as:

1. Pregnancy
2. Hormonal imbalances
3. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
4. Thyroid issues

If your doctor recommends inducing periods, they may prescribe:

1. _Medroxyprogesterone acetate_ (Provera): A progesterone hormone to regulate menstrual cycles.
2. _Norethisterone_ (Primolut-N): A synthetic progesterone to induce periods.

Avoid self-medicating, as this can lead to:

1. Unintended side effects
2. Interactions with other medications
3. Masking underlying conditions

Consult your gynecologist for personalized guidance and treatment.
