I'm a university student and I've noticed disc-shaped lumps under both nipples on my chest, with the left one being slightly larger. It's causing me a lot of distress and embarrassment. Can this be treated with medication or is surgery the only option?

Pubertal gynecomastia often resolves on its own, but persistent distress may need surgical correction; medication has limited effect once gland is fully developed.

View allI've been struggling with managing my weight and height because I'm 100kg and 58 feet tall. I really want to adopt a healthy diet and exercise plan, but I'm so busy with my studies that I can't find the time for regular exercise. I'm worried about how this is affecting my health. Can you suggest a simple and effective plan that fits into a hectic schedule?
Given your busy schedule, aim for a balanced diet rich in lean proteins, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats. For exercise, try incorporating short, effective sessions like 20-30 minutes of walking, cycling, or home workouts that you can fit into your routine, even if it's just a few times a week. Consistency is key!

I'm a bit worried because I recently had a routine health checkup, and my HSCRP levels were 13.5, which is higher than the normal range. I take Eltroxin 100 daily. Could you let me know what steps I should take or if there's anything specific I should be concerned about with these results?
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels can indicate inflammation in the body. Since your hsCRP level is elevated, it is important to address it. You can consider taking Atorvastatin 20mg daily to help reduce inflammation and lower your hsCRP levels. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, healthy diet, and stress management can also be beneficial in lowering inflammation markers in the body.
