I have gynaecomastia and got conflicting advice my homeopathic doctor says it can be cured with medicine but the cosmetic surgeon insists surgery is the only option. Can homeopathy really reduce male breast tissue and if so how long would it take? I'm getting married in a year and want to know if it's possible without surgery

While homeopathic medicine may be used for gynecomastia, it's crucial to understand that its effectiveness is not scientifically proven and may vary significantly. Surgery is generally considered the most effective and reliable treatment for gynecomastia

I'm really worried because my height hasn't increased at all since I was in 7th grade, and now I'm already 17 years old. Is there anything I can do about this? Any advice would be really appreciated.
In summary, if your growth plates are still open, there may still be some opportunity for growth. However, if they are closed, height growth is likely to stop. Focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, getting good nutrition, staying active, and keeping your posture good. If you're still concerned, consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation of your growth potential.
