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'm struggling with some health issues and I'm not sure what to make of them. I've been dealing with wheezing and trouble breathing, along with a dry cough. At first, I tried treatment for GERD, but it didn't help. This has been happening on and off for about 4 years now. What worries me even more is that since last year I've noticed I'm urinating a lot more and it's really diluted, plus I'm feeling dehydrated. My plasma osmolality is 320. Are these signs related to something specific? My kidney, liver, and thyroid functions all checked out normal, and so did my CBC. What could be going on here?
