I'm a 25-year-old guy with gynaecomastia and I really don't want to go through surgery. Are there any effective drug treatments that can help reduce it? What options do I have besides going under the knife?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Gynecomastia may respond to medications like tamoxifen or raloxifene in early stages; surgery is the only option for permanent removal in established cases.

View allI'm a bit concerned because for the past couple of months, my urine has been a deep yellow color. I'm wondering if this might be related to the glyciphage tablets I take. Could there be a connection, or is there something else I should consider?
The yellow urine indicates a lot of things like even if you are not taking enough water, the urine can be yellow. As said by my colleague, if you are on any multivitamin also it can be yellow. Have you started noticing after taking the glyciphage tablet or was OK in the past with the tablet also? Urinary tract infection can also cause a dark coloured urine. Here is what you can do, drink upto four litres of water a day and get a urine complete test done.

I recently got my test results for Vitamin D, calcium, and B12. The results showed Calcium at 9.46 mgdL, Vitamin B12 at 436 pgmL, Vitamin D2 at 1.02 ngmL, Vitamin D3 at 17.9 ngmL, and overall Vitamin D at 18.92 ngmL. I realize my Vitamin B12 is on the lower side and Vitamin D is actually deficient. My previous doctor had recommended Shelcal, one tablet for 30 days, and Uprise, one tablet every week for 34 weeks, but I didn't end up taking them. Should I start taking them now? Is that dosage correct? Should I be taking these tablets at night after meals? Also, do you think I should take something for B12 for a few days to improve my levels?

Although Diabetes has few symptoms and signs, most of the times patients would not show any. Hence, any person who has unhealthy habits and other risk factors should be careful in regular monitoring.
