I'm 19 and a half years old and I'm about 5 feet 7 inches tall. I'm really curious about any potential height growth I could expect by the time I'm 21, especially with exercise and a proper diet. I've heard some people talk about doing setups while sticking to a cart leg - is that something that's good or bad for height growth? Also, I've been told that I might only gain about half an inch to maybe 2 inches, but that's rare. Is there any truth to that? I just want to know what I can realistically expect.

So, while your body may not grow significantly taller after 19.5 years, adopting a healthy lifestyle with good posture practices and exercises can help you reach your full potential and improve your overall body alignment.

I've been dealing with gynecomastia and want to know which specialist I should see for this. What's the usual treatment process would I need surgery or are there newer options with faster recovery and minimal scarring? If surgery is the way, what type of doctor should I consult for it?

For gynecomastia, you should consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon for surgical treatment or a cosmetic surgeon, or an endocrinologist if you suspect hormonal imbalance is a factor. Surgery is often the most effective solution, with liposuction and mastectomy being the main procedures. Newer, less invasive techniques offer faster recovery and minimal scarring.

I'm really worried because one side of my chest is swollen and it's been painful when I press on it. I'm 21 and this has been going on for two years now. I think it might be gynecomastia. I'm really hoping there's something I can do about it besides surgery. Is there any other treatment or way to deal with this?
