Gynecomastia, or enlarged male breasts, can be identified by a firm, disc-like tissue beneath the nipple, often with tenderness or pain. While diet and exercise can help with overall weight loss, they may not completely resolve gynecomastia if it's due to hormonal imbalances or glandular tissue growth. If you notice a firm, rubbery lump, or if it's accompanied by pain, swelling, or asymmetry, you should consult a doctor. Surgery, which can involve liposuction and tissue removal, is often the best option for addressing gynecomastia. Gynecomastia surgery in India can cost between Rs. 40,000 and Rs. 60,000,

Is there any medication that can help shrink male breasts without surgery How well do they work and what kind of side effects should I be aware of
Medications like tamoxifen or danazol may shrink male breast tissue slightly but have side effects; surgery is more effective and permanent.

I just found out from a test that my sugar level is 275, and I'm kind of worried. I have an appointment with my doctor in a week, but I'm unsure what to do until then. Should I see a doctor right away? Are there any precautions I should be taking in the meantime?
If its the first time your sugar has come high, retest. Better get fasting and post lunch done. If the values are high you can go for online consultation here and start meds.
