Question

I'm a university student and I've noticed disc-shaped lumps under both nipples on my chest, with the left one being slightly larger. It's causing me a lot of distress and embarrassment. Can this be treated with medication or is surgery the only option?

Pubertal gynecomastia often resolves on its own, but persistent distress may need surgical correction; medication has limited effect once gland is fully developed.

Question

I'm a 16-year-old struggling with a few issues and hoping for some advice. I've been habitually masturbating for the past 30 months, and I'm wondering if it might be affecting my health. I'm 5'2", but I really want to grow taller. My menstrual cycle is irregular, and I have problems with constipation and insomnia. I also suffer from anxiety, and it doesn't help that I can get angry quickly and have trouble controlling my frustration. I'm quite moody, but I'm also very ambitious about my career. My weight is around 72 kg, and I feel overweight. Despite working out five times a week, I haven't seen any changes. Should I stop masturbating to help with my weight loss and height growth? Given all these things, what do you suggest regarding my masturbation habits?
