I recently had a TSH test done and the result was 5.7, so my doctor suggested I start taking thyronorm 25 mcg. But then I went to another diagnostic center the next day and my TSH came back as 3.7. I'm a bit confused about what to do now. I've also been experiencing shorter menstrual periods for about three years, down from three days to just one and a half. I'm currently on gardinal 30 MG and my prolactin levels seem to be normal. Should I go ahead and take the thyronorm or should I consult with another doctor first?

Is there any way to treat gynecomastia without surgery? I've been doing exercises but they don't seem to help at all. Can it go away on its own or do I need medical intervention?

Yes, there are non-surgical treatments for gynecomastia, and exercise alone may not be enough to significantly reduce breast tissue. While exercise can help reduce overall body fat and build chest muscles, it might not address the glandular tissue itself. Medications, hormone therapy, and procedures like cryolipolysis or ultrasound therapy can also be effective. Some cases of gynecomastia, especially those caused by hormonal imbalances or puberty, may also resolve on their own over time
