I've been dealing with gynecomastia and not sure if I should go for surgery or try other medications right now I'm using homeopathy but wondering if I should switch to something else what would you recommend
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Once gynecomastia has been diagnosed, treatment of the underlying cause is warranted. If no underlying cause is discovered, then close observation is appropriate. If the gynecomastia is severe and of recent onset, medical therapy can be attempted, and if ineffective, glandular tissue can be removed surgically

View allI'm really curious about something. I had surgery for a benign pituitary macroadenoma back in 2014, and I've been on cabergoline 0.25mg once a week since then. I just had a baby, but my lactation seems to be completely suppressed. Do you think it might be okay to stop taking the medication for a bit to see if I can start producing milk? Also, how long does the effect of the cabergoline stay in your system if I stop taking it?
It may take one week to one month to restore the normal lactation after stopping the drug

I'm 17 years old and I've been masturbating almost every day since I was 15. I'm really curious if this habit could be causing an increase in my prolactin levels, which I heard might lower testosterone. Could this affect my beard growth?
Masturbation itself doesn't significantly affect prolactin or testosterone levels in a way that would impact beard growth. However, excessive or compulsive behaviors may affect your overall hormonal balance, which could indirectly influence things like energy levels or hair growth. If youre concerned, its always a good idea to talk to a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
