You should see an endocrinologist who may identify why your growth plates stop or measure your hormone levels. It is not a fact that you can increase height by shortcuts such as limb-lengthening surgery and that surgery itself carries big risks. The cost for such procedures varies greatly and is rarely covered by medical insurance.

Some changes to your body need attention. Losing weight rapidly, without effort, isn't normal. It might result from thyroid issues, diabetes, or even stress. Tiredness, dizziness, frequent hunger - these symptoms require caution. To ensure safety, it's wise to consult a healthcare provider and determine the underlying cause.

I keep falling asleep during the day
Female | 31
The problem of falling asleep many times during the day can be a symptom of several sleep disorders like sleep apnea, narcolepsy, or restless leg syndrome. It would be better to see a sleep specialist to get a medical evaluation and appropriate treatment plan.

Can I eat non veg after completing third dose rabies vaccination
Male | 22
It is ok if you eat non-veg after completing the third dose of rabies vaccination. Food intake is not limited after the rabies vaccination. Nevertheless, in the event that you face any adverse reaction or symptom after vaccination then at once rush to see a doctor. Concerning questions regarding rabies, see an infectious disease specialist.

Female | 43
Multivitamins can be used for some time like a fort that can meet the body's deficient nutrients. A physician or dietician appointment cannot be ignored to accurately calculate the multivitamin dosage and intake duration guided by the particular health condition.

The doctor prescribed me a medicine (megapin) of 500mg but the megapin I got has a label 250/250 mg does that mean the medicine is total 500mg?
Male | 60
When medicine labels show 250/250 mg, it means there are two ingredients, each with 250 mg. One tablet contains 500 mg (250 + 250 = 500 mg). You're getting the correct dose your doctor prescribed. Follow the instructions for how many tablets to take.

Female | 37
By looking at your symptoms one can say that the tentative diagnosis is a common cold or flu that you possibly got from the stepson. Therefore, you should see a general practitioner to make the correct diagnosis and treatment.

have what i believe to be a hemorrhoid on the outside of my anus. It causes a lil bit of discomfort but not much. each day i can feel it less and less. its been about 2 days seen i notice it. i soaked in some warm bath water with espon salt. also applied some preparation h hemorrhoidal cream to it. as of today it doesnt cause and discomfort however today while i was running errors i noticed it start bleeding and the blood isnt coming from out my butt its coming from the bump i believe to be a hemorrhoid so im trying to figure out if thats normal or should i go to emergency room?
Male | 22
The hot bath and Preparation H cream you are using may provide some relief but you should be aware that bleeding is not a usual cause of hemorrhoids. I advise you to see a specialist, a gastroenterologist, who knows how to diagnose and treat your condition properly. If you have any rectal blood loss symptoms, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible.

Hello my mother recently has been in a lot of pain and has been having these attacks and her vision has been completely blurred. She ended up finding out she had really high glucose . She’s been starving herself and not eating lately because she’s scared . Is there any advice you could possibly give me to help my mother out?
Female | 40
It's important that your mother immediately gets an endocrinologist who can attend to her signs and symptoms. High blood sugar levels may point to diabetes that cannot be controlled and needs to be adequately controlled.

Paracetamol is a safe medication provided it is utilized properly. Excessive dosages might lead to liver toxicity and serious complications. The telltale signs of paracetamol overuse may include tummy pain, feeling bad and even vomiting. Following the packet information is most important and not taking more than the recommended medicine. If there has been overuse of paracetamol, urgent medical help is needed.

Chest problem for 1month please ask me a good medicine
Male | 14
You've had chest issues for a month. That's difficult. Coughing, tightness, pain, breathing problems - those are chest problem signs. Pneumonia, a lung infection, could be why. See a doctor for antibiotics to get better. Rest, drink liquids, use a humidifier - those help too.
