I've been dealing with gynecomastia as a male and it's not painful but really bothers me. Are there any proven non-surgical ways to reduce it? I'd prefer to avoid surgery if possible.

Since gynecomastia is often related to hormonal imbalances, hormone therapy can be an effective non-surgical treatment. Hormonal imbalances, especially high levels of estrogen or low levels of testosterone, can cause the development of enlarged breast tissue in men.

Question

How do I cure diabetes and high blood pressure in Ayurveda?

I've been hitting the gym consistently for the past couple of months and can definitely feel myself getting stronger. But I've been reading online and I'm worried I might have low testosterone since a lot of the symptoms match what I've been experiencing. How do I go about testing my testosterone levels? Also, is there any medication to boost testosterone that wont come with major side effects? Just so you know, I've got hypertension and I'm overweight, though I've been shedding some pounds slowlycurrently at 88 kgs and I'm 5ft 7inches.

Question

I'm 18 and 165 cm, and I'm really hoping to grow taller. I've been doing a lot of exercises but haven't noticed any changes yet. Has my growth stopped, or might I still see some improvement over time? Can any supplements or calcium pills help with this? Please let me know.
