How to manage lack of beard growth and hypogonadism?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 19 years old, my height is 6 feet, and I weigh about 220 pounds. I do not have any facial hair like a beard or mustache, and I have no body hair, either. This is much fear as my fellow mates properly have complete beard growth. What treatment can be done to get rid of this delayed puberty? I also tested my testosterone levels, which showed 390 ng/dL. Is this a condition called hypogonadism, or should I take some necessary steps to solve it? Kindly help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

The common reason is a genetic factor from your parents or grandparents. I suggest you check for thyroid. The secondary sexual characteristics will sometimes be delayed due to hormonal imbalance or obesity. Since your weight is 220 pounds, I suggest you reduce your weight, which will increase your testosterone and give you an early sexual character. For now, I suggest you use beard oil once a day and take a tablet with a combination of biotin, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and natural extracts once a day in the morning after food for 30 days.

I hope this helps.

Please revert to assist you further.

Thank you.
