I've been dealing with gynecomastia and enlarged male breasts are there any non-surgical treatment options that could help reduce them? I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Non-surgical options for gynecomastia include exercise, weight loss, and hormonal therapy. Significant enlargement may still need surgery.

View allMy 80-year-old grandma has toxic multinodular goiter her thyroid scan showed high uptake, T3 and T4 are elevated, and TSH is very low. The doctor suggested neomercazole for six weeks followed by surgery, but she's hesitant about the operation. She's had an enlarged thyroid for years with no swallowing or breathing issues, just some breathlessness when walking. Could medication alone manage her hyperthyroidism, or is surgery really necessary in her case? She's worried about going under the knife at her age. Also, should we start the neomercazole as prescribed?

I've been dealing with some thyroid issues and I'm finding it really hard to swallow food and water. It's been pretty concerningcould there be a connection between my thyroid and this swallowing trouble? What should I do about it?
You may be experiencing symptoms of an enlarged thyroid gland, also known as a goiter. In this case, you can try taking Levothyroxine (brand name Synthroid) at a dosage prescribed by your doctor to help regulate your thyroid function and reduce the size of the goiter. Additionally, you may benefit from taking Ibuprofen (brand name Advil) at a standard dosage to help reduce any inflammation that may be contributing to your difficulty swallowing. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

I'm a 30-year-old and I'm curious about how I might be able to increase the Y chromosomes in my sperm. Can changing my diet help with this? Also, is there a way to test the Y chromosome levels in my sperm?
Increasing the number of Y chromosomes in sperm isn't something that can be directly influenced by food habits. The sex chromosomes in sperm are determined naturally during sperm production. While there's no specific test to check Y chromosomes in sperm, you can opt for sperm sorting methods like sperm sex selection, which is available in some fertility clinics. It's always best to consult a fertility specialist for personalized advice.
