View allI've been struggling with gynaecomastia for a while now and tried everything from dieting to gym workouts and running, but nothing seems to work. Is there any way to fix this without going through surgery?
it is possible to decrease the breast prominence by a weight-loss and exercise program as a first-line treatment. Frequently, recurrence in patients affected by gynecomastia results from an imbalance between estradiol and testosterone, and such cases can resolve without surgical intervention.

I've been really concerned about my mom's health. She's been dealing with diabetes for the past 10 years, and I'm trying to figure out if it's safe for her to take the Kudos IME 9 capsule. Can you let me know if it's okay for her or if there are certain things we should be careful about?
Kudos IME 9 capsule is a supplement that can be beneficial for individuals with diabetes. It contains a combination of natural ingredients like Karela, Jamun, and Methi which can help in managing blood sugar levels. However, it is important to note that this should not be used as a substitute for prescribed diabetes medication.

The usual dosage is 1 capsule twice a day before meals. It is always advisable to consult with her doctor before starting any new supplement to ensure it is safe and appropriate for her condition.
