I'm 16 and really self-conscious about my puffy nipples is there any way to reduce them without surgery? I'm too embarrassed to talk about it but want to know if exercise, diet, or other non-surgical options might help

View allI'm a 51-year-old with a weight of 62 kg, and I've been on 88 mcg of medication a day for hypothyroidism for the past 6 months. I just got my thyroid profile results, and they show my T3 is 0.98, T4 is 7.93, and TSH is 12.58. What should I do now?
-It seems your TSH level is still higher than the normal range, indicating that your thyroid may not be fully optimized with the current dosage of 88 mcg. I recommend discussing with your doctor about adjusting your medication or exploring other treatment

My benign goiter in the left lobe of the thyroid was confirmed by FNAC in 2015. The recent USG from October 2017 shows it's grown to 3.6 cm by 2.4 cm compared to 1.8 cm by 2 cm in May 2015. Should I consider surgery now or is it okay to just monitor it with follow-ups every 6 months?
If your goiter has grown, surgery might be considered, especially if it’s affecting your breathing or swallowing. Regular follow-up every 6 months with an endocrinologist is advisable to monitor its progress.
