I'm a 26-year-old guy from Bangalore and I think I might have gynecomastia. I've been hitting the gym for the last 6 months but not seeing proper muscle growth. I'm not overweight but my beard growth is patchy and my chest looks bigger than it should. Could this be low testosterone? I'd prefer non-surgical options can you suggest what medications might help and recommend a good doctor in Bangalore to check my condition?

It's possible you have gynecomastia, which can be caused by hormonal imbalances or certain medications. While low testosterone can be a factor, it's essential to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. They can measure hormone levels and rule out other causes

What do guys have instead of periods?

IMS (Irritable Male Syndrome). This can be attributed to men experiencing a drop in testosterone, the hormone that gives them their mojo. Their IMS can happen at anytime, as testosterone levels fluctuate during the day, but they tend to be highest during the morning and drop as the day goes on.
