Im Ace, just wanna know if sleeping late affect my height

Male | 14

Your height is primarily determined by genetics and the growth plates in your bones, which close in late adolescence or early adulthood. So staying up late occasionally won't have a significant impact on your height. Young people are recommended to get an adequate amount of sleep for their age (7-9 hours) to support overall well being during their growing years.

Albendazole is a me­dicine that usually helps get rid of the­m. But sometimes you nee­d extra doses to fully banish pinworms. Wash hands freque­ntly, trim nails short, and change bedding often to stop the­ir spread.

Hi, whenever i sit stable and shake a bit i feel like that my inner body is moving just like a jetlag, it’s same while sleeping but not while walking. What would be the problem?

Male | 26

 This dizziness, called vertigo, ofte­n stems from inner ear issue­s. Perhaps an infection, or small crystals displaced within your e­ar canal. Specific head motions can trigger the­se sensations. It's crucial to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis.

I have dog Scratch taken 3 rabies vaccine in Arms and last dose of 1 rabies vaccine in buttocks will it be effective, also 4 years ago I have taken my all 4 doses of rabies vaccine from dog bite.

Male | 16

Receiving the vaccine first in your arm and then in your buttocks remains effective at preventing rabies. Best to always ask healthcare professionals for any concerns or symptoms especially when treating it at home. High fever, headache, or painful swallowing are the possible signs that the injection occurred at the site.

Hey there, a virgo here (one of those people still believing in the value of marriage (only it's delayed to some degree) and what comes with it. This isn't meant as passing judgement but to avoid at times hurtful snarky remarks from DR.'s (unbelievable)) That sounds weird to open with it, however it is a vital info). I have been this past few months under a lot of stress at work, including very late remote computer work at night (until 3, even 5am) and dealing with unpleasant people(oh fun:)), my diet was indeed less leaning into the veggies and fruit. What brings me here seeking your advice? My period is sure taking its time (think it's around 54 days since beginning of last menstruation, so it's considered by now missed I guess.)gravitaain between nconstipatiaiton nto normalal to having this one tiimem momentaraty stomach ahache annd diarreah aiwiwith a miild passing fever). Last month regular blood work showed normal iron and HB levels. However, despite being within normal range the ferritin levels were at the minimum level while transferrin on the maximum level within its range. Had some more acne than usual (occasional small pimples on back of hands (a relatively new phenomenon from past years (with the increased stress and worries), ear, chest back face neck. Nothing too severe not a lot either (not as I used to) because I try and treat it keeping it at bay (but a bit more than usual, also not as usual in their location (nonetheless important). My question is what sort of test should I be asking, what sort of blood test to get to the bottom of it, and what should I do also to not augment stress that does not (!) help the situation? Please I'd appreciate your reply

Female | 38

Based on the symptoms you've described, it's possible that your delayed period and gastrointestinal issues could be related to stress and dietary changes. It's important to rule out any underlying medical conditions. I would recommend scheduling an appointment with a gynecologist to discuss your missed period and any potential hormonal imbalances. Also you need to consult with a gastroenterologist to evaluate your gastrointestinal symptoms. Avoiding stressors as much as possible and maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine may also help alleviate your symptoms.
