I've been dealing with a pituitary macroadenoma for 10 years and have been on cabergoline 0.5 mg twice a week since 2016 to manage it. The tumor size hasn't reduced and has stayed the same for the last 3 years. I've been getting treatment at AIIMS since 2014 but really don't want to go for another transcranial surgery since I've already had two before. The meds or hormonal imbalance have also caused low libido and slower semen regeneration. I've tried Poona Hospital, SGPGI Lucknow, and now AIIMS but I'm exhausted from all the medications. Is there any way to remove this tumor completely without another major surgery? Currently taking Wysolone 2.5-5 mg on alternate days, Thyronorm 100 mg daily, and cabergoline 0.5 mg twice a week. What are my options now?

I've had gynecomastia on my right side below the nipple for the last 13 years, diagnosed by an oncologist and radiologist. It's painful when touched. Are there any Ayurvedic treatments to reduce it without surgery?

Chronic painful gynecomastia rarely responds to Ayurvedic treatments; surgery offers best relief, but hormone evaluation and weight management are helpful first steps.
