I'm 19 years old and I've noticed I still don't have hair growing on my chest or a beard. I'm wondering if my puberty has ended or not. Also, is there a way to increase my penis size with any products from the market or through exercises? I'd appreciate your advice on this.
Delayed puberty is possible, and it's essential to consult an endocrinologist to assess your hormone levels and determine if your puberty is complete; regarding penis size, there's no scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of market products or exercises in increasing size permanently; focus on a healthy lifestyle, and consider consulting a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian for personalized advice.
