I'm 19 years old and I've noticed I still don't have hair growing on my chest or a beard. I'm wondering if my puberty has ended or not. Also, is there a way to increase my penis size with any products from the market or through exercises? I'd appreciate your advice on this.

Delayed puberty is possible, and it's essential to consult an endocrinologist to assess your hormone levels and determine if your puberty is complete; regarding penis size, there's no scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of market products or exercises in increasing size permanently; focus on a healthy lifestyle, and consider consulting a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian for personalized advice.

I'm dealing with chronic urticaria and I'm wondering if its okay for me to take Allegra or Cetirizine on the day of my embryo transfer and afterwards. Can you advise? I'm kinda anxious about how these meds might affect the process or the embryo itself. What do you suggest I do?

For chronic urticaria, you can take Allegra (Fexofenadine) or Cetirizine. On the day of embryo transfer, you can take Allegra 180mg once daily or Cetirizine 10mg once daily. After embryo transfer, you can continue taking Allegra 180mg once daily or Cetirizine 10mg once daily as needed for your chronic urticaria.
