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.

I've had varicocele for about 7 years but lately it's been causing more issues. My testosterone level is around 400 ng/dL and I'm experiencing low T symptoms like constant fatigue, depression, losing upper body muscle while gaining lower body fat, and my face looks gaunt. The andrologist says my levels are normal but I feel terrible. The urologist doesn't recommend surgery - are there other ways to boost my testosterone naturally?
While 400 ng/dL is within the typical "normal" range for testosterone, it's understandable that you're experiencing low T symptoms with a varicocele. The varicocele itself can sometimes cause or contribute to lower testosterone levels, even if the overall level is within the broad normal range. Since your urologist doesn't recommend surgery, here are some natural ways to potentially boost your testosterone levels and address your symptoms:

I've been told that my TSH levels are elevated. What's causing this? Should I consider getting any additional tests to better understand what's happening?
High TSH indicates hypothyroidism.. you can test for free T3 and T4 and anti thyroid antibodies.. USG neck also should be done if there is any tenderness and swelling in the neck..
