Answered on 28th Aug '24
At nineteen years old, your body approaches completion of its natural growth cycle. Consuming growth hormones likely won't significantly augment your height anymore. Instead, prioritize a balanced nutritional intake, consistent physical activity, and adequate sleep patterns to nurture overall well-being. Should any apprehensions persist, consulting an endocrinologist specializing in hormone-related matters could yield tailored recommendations specific to your circumstances.

Male | 24
Low testosterone, vitamin B12, iron, and other vitamin deficiencies are the reasons for you to feel tired and stressed. As a vegetarian, it is essential to include a mix of plant-based foods such as beans, nuts, seeds, and fortified cereals to enhance your nutrient levels. Taking supplements prescribed by a doctor might also be of assistance. Get enough rest and manage stress to feel better.

For morning I eat besan or dal chilla or boiled chana.
Female | 33
It is good you are taking care of your diabetes with insulin and good food. But, blood sugar can be hard to control during pregnancy because of hormone changes. Eating two rotis with dal and sabji, plus an apple and nuts is a wise choice. Check your blood sugar at different times to see how your body reacts to food and insulin. You may need to change your insulin doses with your doctor's help.

Hi I m on thyroid tablets of 125mcg eltroxin My current tsh is 0.012, t3 - 1.05, t4 - 11.5 Should I reduce the dosage to normalise
Female | 32
Based on the thyroid test results, you have slightly low thyroid levels as your TSH is 0.012. Your present dosage of eltroxin may be too high for you; this could be the case. Besides, these might be the possible reasons: you will feel jittery, lose weight, and have trouble sleeping. To correct the dosage, consult your doctor and suggest doing the treatment at the lower dosage to get your thyroid levels back in balance.

From your test results, your thyroid is not producing enough desired functional capabilities. This can bring about warning signs like fatigue, weight gain, and sensitivity to cold. A high TSH level indicates that thyroid hormone production needs to be regulated again. The doctor may advise you on the kind of medication to take that works best for you.
