I've been dealing with gynecomastia and want to know which specialist I should see for this. What's the usual treatment process would I need surgery or are there newer options with faster recovery and minimal scarring? If surgery is the way, what type of doctor should I consult for it?

For gynecomastia, you should consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon for surgical treatment or a cosmetic surgeon, or an endocrinologist if you suspect hormonal imbalance is a factor. Surgery is often the most effective solution, with liposuction and mastectomy being the main procedures. Newer, less invasive techniques offer faster recovery and minimal scarring.

Can I take Dexona to gain weight? I'm curious about what the benefits and drawbacks might be. Could you explain what I should be aware of if I consider using it for weight gain?

Dexona (dexamethasone) is a steroid that can increase appetite and promote weight gain, but it also carries risks like fluid retention, high blood sugar, and weakened immunity. It's not typically recommended for weight gain without medical supervision, as it may cause more harm than benefit in the long term. Always consult a doctor before using it.

What if I stop eating sugar?

Eliminating sugar could directly affect your physical health, too. Never eating any form of sugar could result in nutrient deficiency, since many nutritious foods have naturally-occurring sugars. If you eliminated fruit, for example, you'd be missing out on many essential nutrients.
