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.

I've been dealing with persistent high triglycerides for the past 1.5 years, and my levels are usually around 180 or 190. No matter what I do with my diet or how much I exercise, nothing seems to help. What could be going on, and is there something else I should be trying?
I am sorry to hear about your high triglyceride levels despite efforts with diet and exercise. In this case, you may benefit from medication to help lower your triglycerides. I recommend starting with a prescription of Fenofibrate (brand name Tricor) at a dosage of 145 mg daily. This medication can effectively lower triglyceride levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. It is important to continue monitoring your levels regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance.

I've just turned 19, and I'm a girl who weighs only around 36-40 kgs. It feels like no matter how much I eat or how properly I do it, my weight just doesn't seem to go up. It's getting really frustrating because I'm looking really slim and can't figure out why. Could there be something else going on that I should be worried about?
