I'm really concerned about my mother's thyroid test results and was hoping you could help me understand them. Her T3 reading is 2.79 ngml, T4 is 22.1 ugdl, and TSH is 0.015 uIUml. Does this mean there's something wrong with her thyroid? Also, we did a sugar test, and her fasting glucose level was 118, and post meal it was 175. Is this enough to diagnose diabetes? I'm worried and just want to make sure we're taking the right steps.

I'm a 26-year-old guy from Bangalore and I think I might have gynecomastia. I've been hitting the gym for the last 6 months but not seeing proper muscle growth. I'm not overweight but my beard growth is patchy and my chest looks bigger than it should. Could this be low testosterone? I'd prefer non-surgical options can you suggest what medications might help and recommend a good doctor in Bangalore to check my condition?

It's possible you have gynecomastia, which can be caused by hormonal imbalances or certain medications. While low testosterone can be a factor, it's essential to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. They can measure hormone levels and rule out other causes
