Yes, there are non-surgical options to address gynecomastia and puffy nipples. These include lifestyle changes, hormonal therapy, and potentially, certain medications. If your gynecomastia is due to hormonal imbalances or excess fat, improving your diet, exercising regularly, and potentially addressing underlying health conditions can help.

I'm a bit worried because I used to have a vitamin D deficiency and went through a 3-month therapy for it. Lately, I've been feeling those same symptoms again, so I decided to start taking vitamin D supplements. But after taking the second 60,000 IU dose, I got a test done, and it showed my level at 40 ng. I'm wondering if this higher reading is because I just took the dose the day before, or if this is normal?

it's ok
