Harkirat Singh, 14 Years

Meet Harkirat Singh, a 14-year-old student from Spring Dale School, Amritsar, whose health journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Under the compassionate guidance of Dr. Raghav Thukral, a renowned Ayurvedic practitioner, Harkirat embarked on a transformative path towards wellness. Battling challenges like Gynecomastia, gut health issues, skin allergies, and depression, his story stands as a testament to the power of holistic healing approaches.

Understanding Gynecomastia:

Gynecomastia (guy-nuh-koh-MAS-tee-uh) is an increase in the amount of breast gland tissue in boys or men. An imbalance of the hormones estrogen and testosterone causes it. Gynecomastia can affect one or both breasts, sometimes unevenly. Pseudogynecomastia is an increase in fat but not gland tissue in male breasts.

Newborns, boys going through puberty, and older men may develop gynecomastia due to natural changes in hormone levels. There are other causes, too. Most of the time, gynecomastia isn’t a serious problem. But it can be tough to cope with the condition. People with gynecomastia sometimes have pain in their breasts. And they may feel embarrassed.

  • Pain, especially in teenagers.
