Gynecomastia often needs surgery for permanent results; thyronorm won’t reverse it—consult endocrinologist for hormonal review.

I'm really concerned about my mom's health. About a year ago, she had some breathing issues, so we went to the nearby hospital. The doctors ran a bunch of heart-related tests like an ECG and a 2D echo, but everything came back normal. Then they discovered she has hypothyroidism and prescribed some medication for that. They also recommended she take Prolomet XL 50 mg. I'm just wondering, is it really necessary for her to be on that medication too? Can we safely stop giving her the Prolomet XL?

Continue same treatment .Salt restricted diet and diet changes ,regular aerobic exercises is recommended..

I'm dealing with something called polycystic and I'm not exactly sure what that means. Could you give me some advice on what exercises or foods might help with this condition? I'm really looking for some guidance here.

Consult a doctor or urologist for proper guidance. They may recommend: 1. Topical creams or ointments to loosen the foreskin. 2. Gradual stretching exercises. 3. Preputioplasty (a minor surgical procedure). 4. Circumcision (as a last resort). Avoid forcing the foreskin back, as it can cause further injury and scarring.
