I'm really confused about something and need your help. So, a couple of weeks ago, I was diagnosed with PCOS and my doctor prescribed me Metsmail and Chirocyst to take after meals. After just a week, I've already lost 2 kg. I've been trying to control my diet during this time, too. Do you think this weight loss is because of the medication or more likely because of my diet changes? I just want to understand what's really having more effect here.

due to food

I've had what looks like man boobs for about 10 years now and I'm 22. I read online it might be gynaecomastia since I can feel a hard lump under my nipples when I press them. I've been hitting the gym for 2 months but it's still there. How can I confirm if it's really gynaecomastia and are there ways to fix it without surgery? It's making me a bit depressed thinking about going under the knife

It's possible you have gynaecomastia, which is the development of breast tissue in males. A hard lump under the nipple is a common symptom, and it's often caused by hormonal imbalances. While exercise can help reduce overall fat, it may not directly target the breast tissue itself. You can confirm it with a doctor's examination, and various non-surgical treatments can be explored
