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.

Question

Will I lose weight once I start taking thyroid medication?

I'm dealing with PCOD and some years ago, I took Zolfresh a couple of times. I got shivering hands back then and now, after so long, I took a 5 mg dose again yesterday, and my hands are really shaky. What should I do?

Question

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been on Human Mixtard insulin with 20 units in the morning and 15 at night, but she's been having these really scary hypoglycemic episodes. Recently, her kidney issues were also pointed out by a distant doctor. At a nearby hospital, they suggested switching her to Ryzodeg and changing her dose to 10 units. But ever since that change, her blood sugar has skyrocketed to 480 at night before insulin and dinner, and her fasting level is at 280. I'm really anxious about these high levels. What can I do to help get her sugar levels under control? Any advice would be really appreciated.
