My mom accidentally took her thyroxine dose twice this morning on an empty stomach. I'm really worried about what might happen. Could you please advise on any steps we should take or if there's anything specific we should watch out for?

I'm 27 and have been doing masturbation since I was 13. My testosterone level is only 269 ngml. My hair is thinning all over my body, and the hair roots seem weak. Even my beard is getting thin and gray. It feels like I'm showing signs of premature aging since June 2017. I saw a homeopathic doctor, but haven't seen much improvement in my hair. Is this something that can be fixed? I'm really worried about it. What should I do?

I would recommend starting with a medication called Finasteride at a dose of 1mg daily to help with hair loss. Additionally, you can consider using Minoxidil solution twice daily on the affected areas. These medications can help improve hair growth and thickness. As for your low testosterone levels, you may benefit from Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) under the guidance of a healthcare provider. It's important to follow up regularly with your doctor to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan
