I'm 25 and I've noticed that my beard and moustache aren't really growing much. I went to a homeopathic doctor and he said it might be hypogonadism. I've been taking the medicine he prescribed but haven't seen any big changes so far. Is there an allopathic treatment available for this?

Hypogonadism can indeed affect beard and moustache growth. In allopathic medicine, testosterone replacement therapy is often used to treat hypogonadism. You can consult a doctor to get a prescription for medications like Testim (testosterone gel) or Androderm (testosterone patch). The dosage and duration of treatment will be determined by your healthcare provider based on your specific condition.
