I've been dealing with gynecomastia as a male and it's not painful but really bothers me. Are there any proven non-surgical ways to reduce it? I'd prefer to avoid surgery if possible.

Since gynecomastia is often related to hormonal imbalances, hormone therapy can be an effective non-surgical treatment. Hormonal imbalances, especially high levels of estrogen or low levels of testosterone, can cause the development of enlarged breast tissue in men.

I'm trying to understand the potential risks of using Gemitrol Nasal Spray. My doctor prescribed it after diagnosing me with a fracture in my L1 vertebra and osteoporosis. But I read online that Calcitonin salmon, which is in the spray, might be linked to an increased risk of cancer. Should I be worried about this? Are there safer alternatives available? And how long is it safe to keep using this medication? I'm honestly a bit concerned and would appreciate any advice you can give.

I've been feeling really tired, sleepy, and even a bit down lately. My recent blood tests showed my vitamin D level is at 14.34 and my B12 is at 164. Could these low levels be the reason for how I'm feeling? What should I do about it?

Missing the 3rd shot and taking it later with the 4th shot might slightly increase the risk of rabies, but the overall risk is still low. The prompt washing of the wound with soap and immediate initiation of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) reduced the risk. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends completing the full PEP course, even if delayed. Monitor yourself for any symptoms of rabies, such as fever, headache, or numbness, for the next few weeks. Consult your doctor for guidance and reassurance.
