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.

Question

My mom's been dealing with hypothyroidism for about 2 years now, and lately, whenever she gets anxious, her blood pressure spikes, although she's not hypertensive. Since last night, her BP's been consistently high, with systolic ranging from 146 to 156. She's feeling a bit anxious too, and I gave her a 5 mg dose of amlodipine this morning, which brought her BP down to 14698. But it's gone back up again. Can you help us figure out what's going on?

Question

I've just got my lab results back, and I'm a bit confused about them. My hba1c level is 5.1, which I know falls within the normal range of 4.6 to 5.6. But my fasting glucose level came back as 108, and I've read that the normal range is usually 70 to 100. What could be the reason behind this?

Question

I'm having issues with irregular periods and I'm also dealing with a thyroid problem. Can you give me some advice on how to manage both of these together? It's been really frustrating and I'm not sure where to start.
