Is gynecomastia treatable without surgery and if surgery is the only option could it cause any issues later on
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Gynecomastia can sometimes be treated without surgery using medications like tamoxifen or raloxifene, especially if it's hormone-related. However, if surgery is necessary, complications are rare but may include changes in nipple sensation, scarring, or asymmetry. A qualified plastic surgeon can assess your case.

View allI'm really worried about my sister. She's been experiencing dizziness quite frequently in the past 78 months, and it's getting more common now. We went to see a doctor and did all her blood tests, and everything is normal except her Vitamin D levels, which are lower than they should be. She's 33 years old. I'm wondering if there are any symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency other than dizziness we should be aware of?
Yes, Vitamin D deficiency can cause symptoms beyond dizziness, including fatigue, muscle weakness, joint pain, mood changes (depression, anxiety), headaches, and cognitive impairment,

How does Type II diabetes cause weight gain?
Diabetics have raised blood sugar and when there is a lot of excess blood sugar in our blood stream, it signals our body to put that excess sugar in storage. We can store some sugar in our liver and muscles, however, when these are full our body start to store the extra sugar as fat. This of course starts to cause weight gain.
