I'm dealing with gynecomastia and just got back from the doctor. The tests say I have mild bilateral gynecomastia. I'm curious if there's a natural way to treat this. If surgery is the only option, how much would that cost? Would love some guidance here.

Mild bilateral gynecomastia can be addressed through natural methods, such as weight loss, exercise, and hormonal balance, but results may vary; surgical options, like male breast reduction surgery, can be more effective, with costs ranging from 50,000 to 2 lakhs (approximately $650-$2,600 USD) per breast, depending on factors like location, surgeon's expertise, and hospital fees.

I'm a 28-year-old male and I've been masturbating since I was 15. Now, I'm worried because my gonads and penis seem small and my testosterone levels are at 450 ngdL. From what I've found online, this seems low and might be due to hypogonadism. I'm experiencing some signs of low testosteronelike premature ejaculation, less muscle mass, mood swings, low self-confidence, and hair thinning. I recently saw a doctor about my hair loss, and she gave me DUTASTERIDE, but I'm unsure if I should take it since I think my testosterone might be low. Is 450 ngdL considered low? If it is low, what's the best treatment? Should I consider testosterone replacement therapy or something else? What can I do to overcome these issues?

What happens if I miss my thyroid medication one day?
Levothyroxine has longer half-life, so a person would not have much effects if you miss one dose. Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
