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 allIs gynecomastia treatable without surgery and if surgery is the only option could it cause any issues later on
Gynecomastia can sometimes be treated without surgery using medications like tamoxifen or raloxifene, especially if it's hormone-related. However, if surgery is necessary, complications are rare but may include changes in nipple sensation, scarring, or asymmetry. A qualified plastic surgeon can assess your case.

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.
