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

I'm really concerned because my height just isn't increasing anymore. It seems to have suddenly stopped at 5'4". Is there anything I can do to help my height grow?

The sudden appearance of a lump near your anus, accompanied by chills, fever, and relief with NSAIDs like diclofenac, may indicate: 1. *Perianal abscess*: A painful, pus-filled pocket near the anus. 2. *Anal gland infection*: An infection of the anal glands, which can cause pain, swelling, and fever.

I'm really worried because my blood sugar is higher than it's ever been. I'm already on BP meds and I'm overweight. Should I think about starting medication for my sugar levels now? Is it even possible to get my levels back to normal at this point?

It's most likely diabetes and you should start medicines for the same. Better to confirm the sugar levels once again before starting medicines.
