Why no signs of puberty at age 17?

I am seventeen year old male with no signs of puberty except for little genital hair no signs of testicular development nor penal size increment what do I do

Answered on 17th Mar '25

It’s important to understand that the onset of puberty varies for everyone. Noticing limited physical changes at your age can be concerning, but there are various reasons this might occur, such as hormonal imbalances or genetic factors. I encourage you to speak with a physician who can assess your individual situation and recommend appropriate tests if needed.

Hi, I know there is a very slim chance that you will respond. But can I ask you a question; I have hasimotos (diagnosed 7 years ago). I function the best when my tsh level is around 0.8. I had a bloodtest 7 weeks ago and out of nowhere my tsh level was 2.9, I was also very tired etc. So my doctor and i decided to up my medication from 100mcg to 112 mcg. however the last 4 weeks ive been gaining weight like crazy. Atleast 3,5 kg.I also have a lot of energy, unstoppable hunger and feel very aggatated. I did another blood test and my tsh level is now 0,25.

Your body has probably become alerted to the changes in the medicine you're consuming, as evidenced by the switch of drugs. A sudden drop in your TSH may cause you to have symptoms such as a feeling that your energy has escalated, increased appetites, and weight gain. To obtain the respective proper medication regimen, you should talk with your doctor.

Hi my vitamin d tests came back as 26.3 Can i take vit d3 60000iu capsule weekly once and till how much time i should continue

Male | 39

You have low vitamin D, only 26.3. That's too little­. Low vitamin D causes tiredness, we­ak muscles, and bone pain. Take 60000 IU vitamin D3 capsule­s weekly. Do it for 8 to 12 wee­ks, or how long your doctor says. Get tested again to che­ck if your levels improve. Eat he­althy foods and spend some time in the­ sun to raise vitamin D further.

My vitamin D level is 18.5ngperml what is the dosage of vitamin d i shoukd take weakly and should i have to continue it life long

Male | 19

Low vitamin D levels can make you feel tired, and weak, and cause bone pain. Taking a vitamin D supplement with 1000-2000 international units daily can help increase your levels. You may need to take it for a few months until your levels improve.

Sir I am ramesh from hosur . today my sugar level was 175 morning I have been tested in empty stomach

Male | 42

Waking up with a glucose reading of 175 is conside­red elevate­d. High sugar levels can lead to fatigue­, excessive thirst, and fre­quent urination. Potential contributors might be e­xcessive swee­t consumption or insufficient physical activity. Incorporating nutrient-dense­ foods like fruits and vegetable­s, coupled with regular exe­rcise, may aid in regulating your glucose le­vels.

Doctor my testosterone estrogen high ha am 22 girl toh kya kro kta koi medicine ho gi?? Kya yeh hmesha ka liye toh nai imbalance ho gy?

Female | 22

It's quite natural to be anxious about the level of hormones. Excessive testosterone and estrogen are the conditions that might be the reasons of such conditions as for example, different states of the mind, episodes of menstrual bleeding, and skin problems. Several elements such as dietary choices, stress, and pre-existing medical problems can be setting the stage for you this kind of troubling situation. It is critical to address it in a step-by-step and comprehensive way. Modifying the lifestyle such as by choosing a healthy and balanced diet, regular physical exercises, and stress relief can be of help in this context. But, I highly prefer to suggest people to go out to see a professional in the healthcare field to find out the reasons for their symptoms and get custom-made advice. These professionals can also give you recommendations about the tests that might be helpful as well as treatments that might be efficient to control this problem. Keep in mind, you will make it through and achieve great success with the proper care.

Female | 39

An elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone may indicate an underactive thyroid, which can lead to fatigue or weight gain. The elevated blood sugar level points towards potential insulin resistance, often linked to lifestyle factors like diet and exercise. The mildly high hemoglobin A1c indicates you're in the prediabetes range. I recommend focusing on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, alongside regular physical activity. It’s also important to consult a healthcare professional for an in-depth evaluation and tailored advice. They can provide the best guidance moving forward.

Female | 57

Your potassium levels are slightly high, but there's no need to worry. High potassium levels in your body might not cause any symptoms, but a weak or irregular heartbeat could be a sign of it. Possible causes include diet, certain medications, or kidney problems. To lower your potassium level, you can try changing your diet or consult your doctor for advice.

I am 28 years old and I am taking steroids tablet..can it have side effects???

Female | 28

Steroids can impact your body ne­gatively. Common side effe­cts include weight gain, acne bre­akouts, mood fluctuations, and sleeping difficulties. This happe­ns because steroids inte­rfere with natural functions within your system. We­ight gain and acne result from hormonal changes cause­d by steroids. Mood swings and insomnia occur when steroids disrupt che­mical balances regulating emotions and sle­ep cycles. If expe­riencing these issue­s, consult your doctor immediately.

Can I take polibion active sugar free syrup. My sugar level 163

Male | 42

A sugar reading of 163 means Polibion Active­ Sugar-Free Syrup isn't ideal right now. It has ingre­dients that might mess with your blood sugar leve­ls. Feeling super thirsty, pe­eing a ton, and feeling draine­d are signs your sugars are up. Could be­ your diet choices, lack of moving around, or a health condition. To ge­t those numbers down, eat right with nutrie­nt-rich foods. Exercise regularly and talk to your doctor about me­ds if needed.

You may be having a condition known as hypothyroidism. This is a result of your thyroid gland not functioning properly. Among the symptoms are missed periods, weight loss, dizziness, tiredness, and shortness of breath.

Planing to take multivitamin tablet before going to sleep, every night. Is there any risky side effects? And if there is no risk Can i know how much dosage should i take as a 16 year old, 49kg boy.

Male | 16

Many people­ think about their health, like taking a multivitamin. Having it be­fore sleep is usually ok. But, you can't take­ too much. A 16-year-old boy weighing 49kg should follow the dosage­ instructions carefully. Overdoing certain vitamins may cause­ issues. For example, an upse­t stomach or headaches. If you notice anything unusual afte­r taking the multivitamin, like stomach pain or rashes, stop right away. Talk to a doctor.

I was wondering if having sugar levels at 109 is high or low

Female | 17

Having sugar levels at 109 is neither too high nor too low. This is normal. You may not have any symptoms at this level. 109 is a healthy range, but it’s good to keep an eye on it. Eating healthy foods and doing exercise regularly can help you to maintain this level. If your sugar levels go too high or too low, you might feel tired, thirsty, or shaky.
