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?

I've been dealing with gynecomastia and not sure if I should go for surgery or try other medications right now I'm using homeopathy but wondering if I should switch to something else what would you recommend

Once gynecomastia has been diagnosed, treatment of the underlying cause is warranted. If no underlying cause is discovered, then close observation is appropriate. If the gynecomastia is severe and of recent onset, medical therapy can be attempted, and if ineffective, glandular tissue can be removed surgically
