I'm a 26-year-old guy from Bangalore and I think I might have gynecomastia. I've been hitting the gym for the last 6 months but not seeing proper muscle growth. I'm not overweight but my beard growth is patchy and my chest looks bigger than it should. Could this be low testosterone? I'd prefer non-surgical options can you suggest what medications might help and recommend a good doctor in Bangalore to check my condition?

It's possible you have gynecomastia, which can be caused by hormonal imbalances or certain medications. While low testosterone can be a factor, it's essential to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. They can measure hormone levels and rule out other causes

I'm 16 and I know there's still time for growth, but I've noticed a lot of girls my age have developed breasts and I haven't yet. My mom started developing hers when she was 15. Should I be worried about this, or is it normal to have a delay in breast development?
