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.

I'm a 23-year-old guy, standing at 5'9.5". I'm really interested in knowing if I can still increase my height at this age. Could you give me some advice on this?

Growth plates in the bones of the human body close by the age of 18-21 years (for males). After these growth plates close, it is generally not possible to increase height through natural methods or medical intervention like growth hormone therapy. You may try to improve posture or focus on stretching and yoga in order to increase your perceived height.
