Recently found out I have a pineocytoma and a non-functional pituitary microadenoma on my MRI. I've been taking Eltroxin for thyroid issues for the past 15 years, and my recent hormone tests T3, T4, TSH, prolactin, ACTH, and growth hormone are all normal. Is there any way to treat these tumors with medication or do I need surgery?

View allI'm 25 and I've noticed that my beard and moustache aren't really growing much. I went to a homeopathic doctor and he said it might be hypogonadism. I've been taking the medicine he prescribed but haven't seen any big changes so far. Is there an allopathic treatment available for this?
Hypogonadism can indeed affect beard and moustache growth. In allopathic medicine, testosterone replacement therapy is often used to treat hypogonadism. You can consult a doctor to get a prescription for medications like Testim (testosterone gel) or Androderm (testosterone patch). The dosage and duration of treatment will be determined by your healthcare provider based on your specific condition.

Is there any truth to the idea that growing or shaving a beard can affect height at around 15.7 years old? Also, what exactly is the age of puberty? I'm a bit curious and confused about how these things are related.
Growing a beard at the age of 15.7 does not directly affect your height. Height is primarily determined by genetics and the growth plates in your bones, which usually close around the age of 18 to 21. Puberty typically starts between ages 10 and 14 for girls and 12 to 16 for boys, during which growth and physical changes occur.

I'm really curious about sperm donationis it actually a thing? Is it similar to blood donation in the sense that it's a voluntary thing anyone can do, or is it more complicated? And where would someone go if they're interested in donating sperm?
To remove the Copper-T (IUD), visit a government hospital or a private clinic with a gynecologist. Ensure it's removed by a trained medical professional to avoid complications. Bring your wife's medical records and discharge summary from the hospital where the Copper-T was inserted. Removal is usually done as an outpatient procedure.
