View allCan gynecomastia be treated without surgery and does it really cause infertility in men who have it
Gynecomastia, or enlarged male breast tissue, can sometimes be treated without surgery, particularly in cases of mild or early-stage gynecomastia, or when it's caused by excess body fat (pseudogynecomastia). However, more severe or glandular-based gynecomastia often requires surgical intervention. While gynecomastia itself doesn't directly cause infertility, a hormonal imbalance that contributes to gynecomastia can sometimes also affect fertility.

Why is insulin not applied at the nascent stage of diabetes?
Diabetes is either due to no insulin production or ineffective insulin. In patients with no insulin production, we are left with no choice other than giving external insulin to control sugars. In nascent cases of other diabetes we try to control the blood sugar by diet/exercise and medicines. Additionally, when external insulin is given, body's own production goes down and it is suppressed.

I've been prescribed SHELCAL D tablets, and I'm just wondering how effective they really are. I know my bones are pretty weak and my vitamin D level is 18.5. How long should I be taking this medication, and are there any side effects I should be aware of?
Its good.. but probably you need to take for life unless you dont decide to take proper balance diet and sun exposure.
